Olympians

[Intro] [Verse 1] You were inhabited Speaking in tongues in the night I wasn’t having it I could tell that something wasn’t right Why don’t you come to bed Instead of stumbling into the light Of medicine cabinets? Shaking out pills left and right Right [Pre-Chorus] Who’s giving up the most? No one’s gonna give you a medal Who’s giving up the ghost? Oh wouldn’t you like to know [Chorus] The competition rages This nocturnal dance The misery’s contagious We are Olympians [Post-Chorus] Oh we’re gonna turn it around We’re gonna turn it around We’re gonna turn it around We’re gonna turn it around We’re gonna turn it around yeah We’re gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around N.C. Gonna turn [Verse 2] You start spitting out anathemas You start spitting out anathemas It was anathema Spent half of my life on the exchange Oh it was anathema ’Bout half a mile between addled and deranged Oh it was anathema La-da-da-da-da-da It was anathema La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da [Bridge] Who’s giving up the most? Who’s giving up the most? Who’s giving up the most? You were speaking in tongues in the night Who’s giving up the most? I could tell that something wasn’t right Who’s giving up the most?

Stumbling into the light Light [Chorus] The competition rages This nocturnal dance Misery’s contagious We are Olympians [Post-Chorus] Oh we’re gonna turn it around We’re gonna turn it around We’re gonna turn it around We’re gonna turn it around We’re gonna turn it around yeah Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna turn it around Gonna ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: Here’s how you can play the weird slash chords in the pos chorus.

Cette chanson évoque des thèmes de désespoir et de lutte intérieure, illustrant une danse nocturne où la souffrance se propage. Un protagoniste observe une personne proche, perdue dans une spirale de pensées sombres et de comportements autodestructeurs, tout en ressentant la tension de la compétition avec soi-même et les autres. L'idée de « rien n'est gratuit » se fait sentir, à travers l'absence de récompenses pour ceux qui souffrent le plus, soulignant ainsi une réalité troublante. On perçoit une tension entre la recherche de lumière et la tragédie de la condition humaine, comme si la vie était un match olympique où la douleur devient contagieuse. Finalement, l'espoir de renverser la situation se manifeste, traduisant une volonté de transformation malgré l'adversité.
