Help Yourself

Amy Winehouse

Transposer:

Intro :                 When I walk in your shoes I understand a man confused. There must have been But I don't care I feel the way Your soul does there. Darling they empathise Looking through Your bloodshot eyes. And I know you; You're so frustrated Above we all become What we once hated. Be-sides nobody Can be that wise.  I can't help you If you won't Help your-self.                   I can't help you If you won't Help your-self.                   You can only get So much from Someone else.                   I can't help you If you won't Help your-self.                   You've got a degree A-in philosophy So you think You're clever-er than me. But I'm not just Some drama queen 'Cos it's where you're at Not where you've been. So what do you Ex-pect from me To hold your head A-bove the sea? And carry you Even though you're bigger 'Cos don't you know You crush my tiny figure? And anyway We're still so young And this isn't yesterday. I can't help you If you won't Help your-self.                   I can't help you If you won't Help your-self.                   You can only get So much from Someone else.                   I can't help you If you won't Help your-self.                   You might be twenty five But in my mind I see you as sixteen years old Most of the time. And I'm just a child And you're full grown And you are like nothing I've ever known.          ...

Cette chanson aborde le thème de l'aide et de la dépendance. Elle évoque la frustration ressentie face à quelqu'un qui refuse de prendre en main sa propre vie, malgré son potentiel et ses connaissances. L'interprète exprime une certaine empathie, tout en rappelant que l'on ne peut pas vraiment aider quelqu'un qui ne désire pas changer ou se prendre en charge. Au fil des vers, elle souligne également la jeunesse et l'innocence présentes dans cette relation, comme si l'un des deux restait enfermé dans une immaturité qui complique leur interaction. Le contexte peut être interprété comme une lutte entre l'affection et la nécessité de l'autonomie. Dans les relations, il arrive que l'on souhaite soutenir l'autre, mais il est crucial que chacun prenne conscience de sa propre responsabilité, sinon la dynamique devient compliquée et peut mener à des déséquilibres émotionnels.
