Curses

Beck

Transposer:

verse 1 Curses I send on these countless men Curses on their trespasses and will they never end? Curses on their blades on the spare and open lanes Once I’ve been searching for recipe acclaim (?) verse 2 Curses on their children running all around Making such a business while I’m resting in the ground I might rise up to meet them when they leave this life I might rise up to eat them when they leave this life verse 3 Curses on this valley and the lands on up ahead I was on my way to meet them when they found me dead And I clapped my brittle hands and I made them join my game Now I hope they all decease in merriment and shame verse 4 Curse every word that’s planted on their lips Curse the sleek machines and their iron-colored ships Curse every wave that pounds their wicked shore Curse every salesman knocking on their door Verse 5 And I am not a creature and I am not a dog I have no claim to be there in the evening fog And I am not a bone staring through the air I have no say in anything my tongue is barely there Verse 6 Curses on curses I see no other way Some of them are weeping and some of them are gay Some of them have wounds so deep they feel no pain Curses on their fingers and curses on their brain

Cette chanson exprime une frustration profonde à l'égard de la violence et de la souffrance infligées par les hommes. L'artiste évoque des malédictions dirigées contre ceux qui causent du tort, y compris leurs enfants et les machines de guerre qui mettent en danger des vies innocentes. Il ressent une certaine impuissance devant cet univers cruel, où il se sent dépossédé de sa voix et de sa présence, presque comme un spectre observant les conséquences de la méchanceté humaine. À travers des images sombres, il dépeint une lutte contre le désespoir, souhaitant voir la justice s'imposer, même si cela passe par des vœux de malheur. La tonalité est à la fois mélancolique et résignée, révélant une introspection sur la nature humaine et ses excès.
