“Duurt Te Lang” (which means “It’s Taking Too Long”) tells the story of two lovers who once couldn’t stop talking about their feelings, writing sweet texts, and believing their romance was unbeatable. Now they sit in silence at the same table, replaying the same fights in an endless loop. Davina Michelle and Glen Faria paint vivid scenes of love notes, shared dreams, and superhero admiration that have slowly been replaced by slammed doors, broken glass, and packed suitcases. The repeated image of standing on a platform while the train never comes captures that frustrating limbo where both partners know things are broken, yet neither one moves.
The chorus “Het duurt te lang” is their cry of impatience: We’ve been stuck here too long; we need to move on. Memories of the “little house with the little bed” collide with the cold reality that apologies and hugs no longer fix the hurt. Despite clutching each other to soften the anger, they realize tomorrow will bring the same heartbreak. The song is a bittersweet anthem about recognizing when love has turned into a cycle of pain, and finding the courage to let go before it truly “takes too long.”
