Bloodless

Transposer:

[Intro] (repeat) [Verse 1] They’re profiting from your worry They’re selling blanks down at the DMZ They’re banking on the sound and fury Makes you wonder what it all’s got to do with me [Instrumental Bridge] Bloodless for now [Verse 2] I’m keeping mine with the altruists I’m putting my weight behind the dancer I know it’s hard to be an optimist When you trust least the ones who claim to have the answers And it’s an uncivil war It’s an uncivil war It’s an uncivil war [Pre-Chorus] Bloodless for now And the poets they explode like bombs Bloodless for now While the gentry is drinking Moet Chandon Bloodless for now Turn around and quote a well known psalm: [Chorus] Don’t you worry ’bout the wicked Don’t you envy those who do wrong And your innocence will be like the dawn While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] Well the best have lost their convictions And the worst keep sharpening their claws They’re peddling in their dark fictions While what’s left of us well we just hem and we haw And it feels like 1936 In Catalonia In Catalonia [Pre-Chorus] Bloodless for now (Whistle) (Whistle) (Whistle) Bloodless for now And the poets they explode like bombs Bloodless for now They’re drinking Moet Chandon Bloodless for now Turn around and quote a well known psalm: [Chorus] Don’t you worry ’bout the wicked Don’t you envy those who do wrong And your innocence will be like the dawn While the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun [Outro] (repeat till fade)

La chanson évoque une profonde inquiétude face aux manipulations et aux faux-semblants qui régissent notre société. Elle souligne comment certains tirent profit de nos préoccupations tout en profitant d'un contraste saisissant entre l'insouciance des privilégiés et la douleur vécue par ceux qui cherchent la vérité. Le mention des artistes et des poètes montre qu’en période de trouble, la créativité peut exploser avec une intensité destructrice. Au fil des couplets, une invitation à l'optimisme émerge : malgré les injustices et la confusion ambiante, la pureté de l'innocence brillera toujours comme l’aurore, rappelant que la justice finira par triompher à l'image d'un soleil de midi. Les références à des périodes troublées de l'histoire renforcent ce sentiment d'urgence et d'importance de l'engagement face aux défis sociaux actuels.
