Werewolf, de CocoRosie

In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight

Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah i suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I’m just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave leading to my
Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power

I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was wilein' on his mom's
And born child and he was the bastard the that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he's got his own two sons
Trys to hide his tears in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Swoon over new young hot flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator

In a dream my father came to me
And made me swear that I’d keep
What’s sacred to me
And if i get the choice to live in his name
I’ll pray my way through the rain
Singing oh happy day

I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another western vampire
Different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love shit
First kiss frog and princess

I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse

Article classé dans "musique" mais que je mettrais plutôt dans musique-poésie-réfléxion. Musique parce que musique, poésie car c'était l'idée de l'article : je milite pour que les paroles de chansons soient aussi reconnues comme poèmes, les paroles de Werewolf sont magnifiques et pleines de sens (quand on comprend les mots en anglais, ce qui n'est pas tjrs le cas...); réfléxion car c'est la (ou une) chanson que j'écoute lorsque je suis triste ou mélancolique, où je me dis, surtout en ce moment, que je devrais "Get up on that horse and ride into the sunset, look back with no remorse..." . Une de mes chansons préférées je crois, encore une fois traumatisante mais surtout entêtante, même hantante car fantomatique...A ne surtout pas écouter quand on est de bonne humeur, au risque de tomber dans la plus sombre dépression...(ou presque)

Je vous renvoie là au passage.

respect et merci, je ne connaissais pas cette chanson de Cocorosie, et franchement elle est géniale... bel exemple de goût, et comme d'hab cette touche d'originalité... toi quoi! merci pour la découverte.
