C:| x32013 C#dim?:| x43023 (alternatively you can mute the high E too) C6add9:| x30213 Chords are played in a steady rhythm one chord per line. It sounds like the low note of fret for all strings except the low E if you don’t want to retune. (Only works if you a clamp capo).

Cette chanson évoque des thèmes de perte, d’aliénation et de désespoir. Le narrateur parle de souvenirs douloureux, d’êtres chers emportés par des forces incontrôlables, symbolisées par une fenêtre brisée, qui représente une intrusion ou une perte de sécurité. Les relations humaines sont explorées, où les gens pensent connaître notre identité sans vraiment comprendre notre essence. Le contexte peut être perçu comme une critique des dynamiques de pouvoir et d'exploitation. Le narrateur se sent piégé par des attentes extérieures, tout en exprimant un profond chagrin et une lutte intérieure. Cette ambiance complexe reflète un constat amer sur la nature éphémère des relations et sur les luttes personnelles face à des événements tragiques et inéluctables.
