Nettles

Arctic Monkeys

Transposer:

[Intro] (x4) [Verse 1] Sank into their calculations And snorted on a stench Of their arithmetic Look for the boy who was hanging his head low More trophies and ideas To follow their pretend [Chorus] With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles (x4) [Verse 2] Afterwards those spiky whispers Said he brought his own rope And skipped the bits they loathed Didn’t scramble to find a dock leaf And capture back our hope To advice his mind had closed He lost all of his foot holes [Chorus] With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles Fell in the nettles fell in the nettles [Verse 3] He was a toothpick and the garlic and the cinder upon the path Had failed to blunt or hinder the slow collapse And clinging to the door frame he was trapped Off to a reminder of where he had been (x4) [Chorus] With a smile in his pocket and a scowl on his face There was nowhere to flee so sat content in the nettles [Outro] Louder! (x4)

La chanson aborde le dilemme d'un jeune homme qui, malgré les pressions extérieures et les attentes des autres, se retrouve confronté à ses propres choix et à ses sentiments intérieurs. Il navigue entre un sourire apparant et une expression de mécontentement, illustrant l'ambivalence de son état d'esprit. En se laissant aller au conformisme, il finit par tomber dans des situations qu'il aurait pu éviter, symbolisées par les orties qui le piquent. Le contexte semble évoquer une lutte personnelle contre les normes sociales et la façon dont on peut se sentir piégé par celles-ci. Le protagoniste, en quête de sens et d'authenticité, se retrouve souvent dans une situation d'impasse, incapacité de retrouver espoir et aspiration. C'est une réflexion sur la lutte intérieure que beaucoup peuvent ressentir face aux attentes de la vie.
