| Protest the Hero – I Am Dmitri Karamazov and the World Is My Father Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Dmitri Karamazov was a character in a book called The Brothers Karamazov. Dmitri was the oldest son of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Fyodor was also the author of the book. Dmitri was the only son from Fyodor's first wife. Who is my mother? Where is her grace? He hasn't met his mother i guess or she died or something. Dmitri spends all his money on beer and women and becomes broke which leads him to become a suspect in a murder trial. Dmitri and his father get into a fight over money and the same girl, Grushenka, and the two come very close to killing each other. A pound of nuts is simply not enough to keep my rage at bay and though I didn't kill you, like you tried to do to me. I'm just as guilty because I would have wanted to be free. The Line, "If I had one love in this world: you tried to take it away." Seems to be Dmitri is talking to his dad about Grushenka. The line, "What cost do I pay for being born of you?" Is showing the hatred he has towards his dad. great song |
