The Jail That Sets You Free

Asaf Avidan

Transposer:

Standard tuning Lately I’ve been picking at the fossil in my throat It’s hard to stare into the ocean and to try to stay afloat Now don’t upset yourself due to the changing of my mood I’m hard to please sometimes I’m hard to please sometimes I’m on a staircase to the bottom of the bottom of my soul Although my feet are still connected They are out of my control Now please refrain yourself from worrying on my behalf I’m hard to understand sometimes I’m hard to understand sometimes Honey come with me It’s just you and me Baby believe it’s As simple as can be I will be the jail that sets you free I will be the jail that sets you free I’m shuffling underneath my pillow for the bed-crumbs of my mind It’s hard to look there for a future when I left it all behind And please don’t condescend and say you’ve heard this one before I’m hard to please sometimes I’m hard to please sometimes And while you’re offering a handshake to a goddamn amputee I feel my phantom heart is scratching in a train-wreck memory And please don’t try to cure me with on rectifying glance I’m hard to understand sometimes I’m hard to understand sometimes Honey come with me It’s just you and me Baby believe it’s As simple as can be I will be the jail that sets you free I will be the jail that sets you free ’ x2 I’m hard to please sometimes I’m hard to please sometimes I will be the jail that makes you I will be the jail that breaks you I will be the jail that sets you free

La chanson évoque une lutte intérieure et des sentiments de désespoir, mais aussi la recherche de connexion avec l'autre. L'artiste parle de moments de confusion et de difficulté à se comprendre soi-même, tout en exprimant le besoin d'une présence rassurante à ses côtés. Il souligne que, malgré les épreuves et les blessures, l'amour peut parfois être un moyen de libération, presque paradoxal. Cette idée de la présence de l'autre comme refuge, même au milieu des luttes, est centrale. On peut ressentir une certaine mélancolie dans les paroles, reflet d'une expérience personnelle intense et d'une quête de sens. Le contraste entre la douleur et la promesse d'une délivrance, même improvisée, donne une profondeur touchante à ce témoignage.
