Heretics

Heretics Note: Chords come from the Acoustic Version - called "Early Version" that appears on the On EP. It will work with the other lead tab here for the original version if you put a on III for these chords. Intro: Bored holes through our tongues so sing a song about it Held our breath for too long till we’re half sick about it Tell us what we did wrong and you can blame us for it Turn a clamp on our thumbs we’ll sew a doll about it And tell us all about it And tell us all about it How about some credit now Where credit is due For the damage that we’ve done We have brought upon ourselves and others With a slow and vicious gun And although pratfalls can be fun Encores can be fatal And then I hear you say Thank God it’s fatal Thank God it’s fatal Not shy Not shy of fatal Not shy of fatal Thank God it’s fatal Thank God it’s fatal Not shy of fatal Not shy of fatal Wait just a second now It’s not all that bad Don’t you count out the sun You’re making mountains of handkerchiefs Where the mascara always runs So be careful when you’re done You’re bound to get post-natal What did I just hear you say? Repeat progression to end Thank God it’s fatal No we don’t want to hear the sound of a door No we don’t want to hear the sound of a door And we don’t want to read the signs that you bore You know the kind of sign you hang on a door Saying "We’ll be back. What a crack." Now don’t you think we might have heard that before? Now don’t you think we might have heard that before? Bored holes through our tongues so sing a song about it Held our breath for too long till we’re half sick about it Tell us what we did wrong and you can blame us for it Turn a clamp on our thumbs we’ll sew a doll about it

Cette chanson aborde des thèmes de culpabilité et de responsabilité, évoquant les erreurs que nous faisons et les conséquences qui en découlent. L'artiste se questionne sur la manière dont nous supportons le poids de nos actions, tout en suggérant que parfois, il vaut mieux accepter la fatalité que de se laisser submerger par nos regrets. Il y a un jeu entre la légèreté des moments de vie et la gravité des décisions, rendant compte d'une lutte constante entre l'espoir et le désespoir. Dans un contexte plus large, on pourrait penser aux défis de la condition humaine, où chacun cherche à trouver un sens au chaos de l'existence. La chanson devient alors une réflexion sur notre manière d'affronter les difficultés, parfois avec humour, parfois avec amertume.
