Looking Back

Bob Seger

Transposer:

You hit the street You feel them staring. You know they hate you you can feel their eyes a glarin'. Because you're different Because you're free. Because you're everything deep down they wish they could be. You're lookin back (looking back) They're looking back (looking back) Too many people looking back. You're lookin back (looking back) They're looking back (looking back) Too many people looking back. They watch the news see young men dying. They watch them bleedin' and listen to them lyin'. And if they're normal if they can see they just reach out and change the channel on the TV. You're lookin back (looking back) They're looking back (looking back) Too many people looking back. You're lookin back (looking back) They're looking back (looking back) Too many people looking back. When they could vote and end the war they're much too busy fittin' locks upon the back door. Give you a foxhole a place to hide cause when the war come the cops'll be on their side. You're lookin back (looking back) They're looking back (looking back) Too many people looking back. You're lookin back (looking back) They're looking back (looking back) Too many people looking back. You're lookin back (looking back) They're looking back (looking back) Too many people looking back. You're lookin back (looking back) They're looking back (looking back) Too many people .. Too many people .. Too many people looking Back !

La chanson évoque la sensation de se sentir jugé et observé par les autres en raison de son unicité et de sa liberté. Il s'agit d'un retour sur les comportements des gens qui préfèrent se concentrer sur le passé, plutôt que d'affronter les défis du présent. Elle souligne une forme de passivité face à des réalités difficiles, comme la guerre et la souffrance, où beaucoup préfèrent détourner les yeux plutôt que de s'engager et de changer les choses. Le contexte pourrait être celui d'une époque troublée où les gens sont souvent paralysés par leur peur ou leur désir de conformité, perdant ainsi de vue les véritables enjeux et les possibilités de changement. C'est un appel à ne pas se laisser emprisonner par un regard en arrière, mais plutôt à avancer courageusement vers l'avenir.
