Advice to D'Artagnan Songtext

von What Happens Next?

"These lyrics were inspired after reading The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. The song is not written about a specific person. And though Artos's advice might seem sound, a life without the "beautiful, poetic and amorous," is one probably not worth living."

Loser in love
Survivor on the battle front
Of wounded hearts
And chances lost

Don't give your heart away
Unless you're seeking pain
I should've followed the advice
Of Artos to d'Artagnan

"tender hearts are
Made to be broken
Love is a lottery
And the price is death

"the losers are lucky
Misfortune's a joke
So cure yourself
Of the beautiful, poetic and amorous"

Don't give it away!
Don't give it away!
Don't give it away!
Don't give it away!

And as d'Artagnan wept
Artos drank
And I thought
Of a saintly demoness
