Not Dark Yet

Bob Dylan

Transposer:

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day It's too hot to sleep and time is running away Feel like my soul has turned into steel I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal There's not even room enough to be anywhere It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well my sense of humanity is going down the drain Behind every beautiful thing, there's been some kind of pain She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind She put down in writin' what was in her mind I just don't see why I should even care It's not dark yet, but it's getting there Well I been to London and I been to gay Paris I followed the river and I got to the sea I've been down to the bottom of a world full of lies I ain't lookin for nothin' in anyone's eyes Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear It's not dark yet, but it's getting there I was born here and I'll die here, against my will I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désespoir et de lassitude face aux épreuves de la vie. L’artiste ressent une pesanteur, comme si son âme avait été altérée par un poids insupportable, et il partage l’idée que derrière chaque beauté se cache une souffrance. Il traverse des lieux emblématiques, cherchant peut-être une échappatoire, mais se sent finalement bloqué dans une stagnation douloureuse, n’arrivant même plus à prêter attention à une prière muette. Le message central est celui d'une lutte contre l'obscurité, même si elle s'installe lentement.
