57 Channels And Nothin On

Bruce Springsteen

Transposer:

Intro: Verse 1: I bought a bourgeoise house in the Hollywood hills With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills Man came by to hook up my cable TV We settled in for the night my baby and me We switched ’round and ’round ’til half-past dawn: There was fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on ? Verse 2: Well now home entertainment was my baby’s wish So I hopped into town for a satellite dish I tied it to the top of my Japanese car I came home and I pointed it out into the stars A message came back from the great beyond: There’s fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on ?Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Middle 8 Well we might’a made some friends with some billionaires We might’a got all nice and friendly if we’d made it upstairs All I got was a note that said "Bye-bye John Our love’s fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on" ? ?Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Verse 3: So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast ?’Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet And they busted me for disturbin’ the almighty peace Judge said "What you got in your defense son?" ?"Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on" ?Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Outro I can see by your eyes friend you’re just about gone Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on Fifty-seven channels and nothin’ on

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment de désenchantement face à la surabondance d'options offertes par la télévision et la vie moderne. Le narrateur, après avoir investi dans une maison luxueuse et un système de divertissement, se retrouve confronted à un vide : malgré les nombreuses chaînes disponibles, rien ne capte réellement son attention. Cette quête de connexion et de satisfaction se transforme en une réflexion désabusée sur la superficialité des plaisirs modernes. Le contexte se situe dans un cadre de vie aisé, où les attentes de bonheur à travers les biens matériels ne se concrétisent pas. L’ennui et la solitude s'installent alors, soulignant une certaine mélancolie dans cette quête incessante de divertissement, qui finalement s'avère insatisfaisante.
