von The Magnetic Fields

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "The Death of Ferdinand De Saussure" von "The Magnetic Fields" handelt von einer Begegnung mit Ferdinand de...

I met Ferdinand de Saussure
On a night like this
On love he said
"I'm not so sure
I even know what it is
No understanding
No closure
It is a nemesis
You can't use a bulldozer
To study orchids"

He said...
So we don't know anything
You don't know anything
I don't know anything
About love
But we are nothing
You are nothing
I am nothing
Without love

I'm just a great composer
And not a violent man
But I lost my composure
And I shot Ferdinand
Crying "it's well and kosher
To say you don't understand
But this is for Holland-Dozier-Holland"

His last words were
We don't know anything (etc)

His fading words were
We don't know anything (etc)
