Justice – DVNO

• 0
  General Comment:SOOOO, here is my whole take on this. I have acted in many different ways in my life so I know a lot of people aren't going to want to think about this kind of stuff, BUT if you read this book that is everywhere called the bible then this makes a lot of sense. So here it is line by line, just my take on it.
  
  It's always the same
  I’m always ashamed
  Storytelling when i can’t come in
  (Making up excuses for not doing what you know to be good or just)
  
  But one more time
  I insist and I swear
  I mean no offense (to god)
  
  But you better learn to read (the bible)
  
  it's all about membership (the choice of good or evil)
  
  I spell it for the young and old (in the bible, or literally the singer is now spelling it out to you)
  
  Ugly girls and boys (maybe... arrogant self obsessed young people)
  
  I put you on my list
  And make you clap to this (even though you totally don't understand what you're dancing to)
  
  It's mayhem or just an ego trip (being blind to the word of god)
  
  But only one can win (good or evil)
  
  And soon you'll say that’s him (when god is presented in two forms; the true one and the false one)
  
  D V N O (Divinity)
  
  Four capital letters
  Printed in gold (Presented in the material world, possibly evil posing as divinity)
  
  Because details make the girls sweat even more
  while they're shaking their belt (being human)
  
  No need to ask my name (the name of god)
  
  to figure out how cool I am (to know the difference between good and evil)
  
  Can anyone read (the words of god)
  
  anyone feel
  That I'm losing my patience (That god is losing patience with mankind because we keep picking evil)
  
  I just came here to bounce (Maybe... Jesus came to bring a message and then leave)
  
  Ladies out west, they all know I'm coming (the "kings of the EAST" are supposed to bring about the end of days, so the ladies of the west could be the opposite, the followers of the word of god.)
  
  I'm losing my patience
  I just came here to bounce

  General Comment:Alrighty -- we've talked lyrics, and we know the songs a total banger. Now.... MEANING.
  
  There's no *real* night club called El Divino in every suburb in the world. However, there are plenty of churches. My take on it is: tongue-in-cheek fun at the expense of both club goers and church goers.
  
  Also, if you think of Tthhee Pparrttyy as Saturday, DVNO could easily be Sunday.

  General Comment:I think its about a doorman/bouncer and how he feels by getting to decide who gets in the club and who doesn't. Like he's on an ego trip getting to turn away ugly girls and guys. Its door policy for certain clubs to mainly let attractive women in, turn away not so nice women and turn away most guys. Especially guys not with an attractice woman.

    Thank god somebody else caught the whole bouncer thing. It's especially apparent in the first few lines talking about "It's always the same, always a game, storytelling, when I can't come in", explaining how when he "bounces" people or turns them they try to plead with him to let them in or make up stories about knowing famous people or whatever.

  General Comment:It's the masculine counterpart to the feminine Tthhee Ppaarrttyy, showing both sides of the hedonistic Paris club life.

  General Comment:I think this song is definitely about the elitism and exclusivity of some clubs, but I think the fact that Gaspard said that "In every SUBURB of the world, in every city, there's always a nightclub called El Divino..." I think it may be perceived as a commentary on any sort of clique exclusivity...kind of like "Subdivisions" by Rush...haha

  My fav line is the bit where he goes "No need to ask my name - to figure out how COOL I AM!"
  
  Lol. Classic.

    In the first verse between these lines
    
    /Storytelling when I can't come in/But one more time/
    
    I think he's definitely saying something about a troglodyte (a primitive cave dweller or brutal character... which describes most bouncers in my book!). I totally agree that this song is all about the exclusivity of the club scene. Its definitely the male counterpart to Tthhee Ppaarrttyy (my girl's theme song). And I think the reference between divinity and white shirts was smart.
