Running On Ice

Billy Joel

Transposer:

[Intro] Dsus Gsus2 / / Fsus2/ Gsus2 / / Gsus4 Gsus2 / / Fsus2/ Gsus2 / / Gsus4 [Verse 1] There’s a lot of tension in this town I know it’s building up inside of me I’ve got all the symptoms and the side effects Of city life anxiety I could never understand why the urban attitude Is so superior In a world of high rise ambition Most people’s motives are ulterior [Chorus] Oh! Sometimes I feel as though I’m running on ice Paying the price too long Kind of get the feeling that I’m running on ice Bb C Dsus Where did my life go wrong? [Verse 2] I’m a cosmopolitan sophisticate Of culture and intelligence The culmination of technology And civilized experience But I’m carrying the weight of all the useless junk A modern man accumulates I’m a statistic in a system That a civil servant dominates [Chorus] Oh and all that means is that I’m running on ice Caught in the vise so strong I’m slipping and sliding ’cause I’m running on ice Bb C Dsus Where did my life go wrong? [Bridge] You’ve got to run run run Oh! Oh! Run Run Run Oh! Oh! [Interlude] Gsus2 / / Fsus2/ Gsus2 / / Gsus4 [Verse 3] Gsus2 Bbmaj7/G As fast as I can climb A new disaster every time I turn around Gsus2 Bbmaj7/G As soon as I get one fire put out There’s another building burning down They say this highway’s going my way But I don’t know where it’s taking me Gsus / / Fsus2/ It’s bad waste sad case rat race It’s breaking me [Chorus] Oh! I get no traction ’cause I’m running on ice It’s taking me twice as long I get a bad reaction ’cause I’m running on ice Bb C Dsus Where did my life go wrong? [Bridge] You’ve got to run run run Oh! Run run run run run oh Oh! [Outro] Gsus2 / / Fsus2/G Running on ice Gsus2 / / Gsus4 Running on ice Gsus2 / / Fsus2/G Running running on ice Gsus2 / / Gsus4 Running on ice Gsus2 / / Fsus2/G Running on ice Slippin’ slidin’ running on ice Gsus2 / / Fsus2/G Running on ice Slippin’ slidin’ running on ice Gsus2 / / Fsus2/ Gsus2 / / Gsus4

Just the way you are (easy version))

La chanson évoque une profonde anxiété liée à la vie urbaine, où l'individu se sent emprisonné par les attentes et la superficialité du monde moderne. Alors qu'il tente de naviguer à travers le stress de la vie citadine, il réalise qu'il est aux prises avec des ambitions et des désirs qui ne mènent à rien de constructif. Ce sentiment d'être en déséquilibre, de glisser sur la glace, symbolise la lutte quotidienne pour trouver un sens dans un environnement accablant. Le contexte présente un tableau de la vie moderne, où la technologie et l'intelligence s'accompagnent de fardeaux inutiles et de pressions. C'est un constat amer sur la réussite personnelle, souvent perçue comme un chemin parsemé d'obstacles et de désillusions. Dans cette ambiance tendue, l'individu cherche désespérément des réponses et un échappatoire, tout en prenant conscience des limites d'une existence guidée par des critères extérieurs.
