Bastille

Transposer:

Intro: Verse These four walls to keep you one floor to sleep upon and only these four walls to keep you These four walls contain you Supposed to save you from yourself and these four walls in Holcolm to keep you from the sun Pre-Chorus And now we’re faced with two wrongs now we’re faced with two wrongs I don’t know oh I don’t know And now we’re faced with two wrongs now we’re faced with two wrongs I don’t know oh I don’t know We could be born to anything and now what now what? What you have done is terrible and now you now you now you carry it with you you carry it with you you carry it with you Verse These four walls will keep you until you face the rope you’ve only these four walls before they in cold blood hang you up Pre-Chorus And now we’re faced with two wrongs now we’re faced with two wrongs I don’t know oh I don’t know And now we’re faced with two wrongs now we’re faced with two wrongs I don’t know oh I don’t know We could be born to anything and now what now what? What you have done is terrible and now you now you now you carry it with you you carry it with you you carry it with you now you carry it with you you carry it with you you carry it with you Bridge There’s no view from here no view from here no view from here all you see’s the sky clouds passing by clouds passing by We could be born to anything and now what now what? What you have done is terrible and now you now you now you carry it with you you carry it with you you carry it with you

La chanson évoque la prison intérieure que chacun peut ressentir, symbolisée par des murs qui semblent à la fois protéger et enfermer. L'artiste parle de l'impuissance face à des choix difficiles, soulignant le poids des actions passées que l’on porte en soi. Le sentiment d’isolement est accentué par l’absence d’échappatoire, alors que la quête de rédemption semble parfois hors de portée. Ce morceau s'inspire de l'histoire réelle de Perry Smith, un des deux protagonistes du célèbre fait divers ayant inspiré Truman Capote. La mélancolie qui s’en dégage reflète en partie une réflexion sur la nature humaine, les failles et les luttes personnelles.
