Eskimo
Damien Rice攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tiredness fuels empty thoughts
I find myself disposed
Brightness fills empty space
In search of inspiration
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me
So I look to my Eskimo friend
I look to my Eskimo friend
When I'm down, down, down.
Rain it wets muddy roads
I find myself exposed
Tapping doors, but irritate
In search of destination
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me
So I look to my Eskimo friend
I look to my Eskimo friend
I look to my Eskimo friend
When I'm down, down, down.
When I'm down, down, down.
When I'm down, down, down.
Damien Rice's "Eskimo" is a melancholic yet reflective song that explores the theme of loneliness and the search for solace in friendship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with feelings of emptiness and exhaustion, and despite their efforts, they are unable to find the inspiration and destination they are looking for. The use of imagery, such as "tiredness fuels empty thoughts" and "rain it wets muddy roads," conveys the sense of weariness and unease that the singer feels.
The chorus, "So I look to my Eskimo friend, when I'm down, down, down," highlights the importance of having a supportive friend during difficult times. The metaphorical use of an Eskimo friend suggests that this friend is someone who's grounded, resilient, and steady - qualities that would be useful for someone who's feeling lost and unmoored. The song's atmospheric quality is heightened by Rice's soulful delivery, the acoustic guitar playing, and the subtle string arrangements.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal human need for companionship and emotional support, especially in times of hardship. It emphasizes the importance of finding comfort in friendship and recognizing the role that friends can play in helping us navigate the complexities of life.
