Playing Possum

Carly Simon

Transposer:

Playing Possum from Playing Possum - 1975 We lived up in Cambridge And browsed in the hippest newsstands Then we started our own newspaper Gave the truth about Uncle Sam We loved to be so radical But like a ragged love affair Some became disenchanted And some of us just got scared Now are you playing possum Keeping a low profile Are you playing possum for a while Then you moved to the country Bought a farm and tilled the land Then you took your books to India And got hooked on a holy man But the wells they do run dry And the speeches turn to words And the woods are full of tigers And freedom’s for the birds Now are you playing possum Keeping a low profile Are you playing possum for a while Now you run a bookstore And you’ve taken on a wife You wear patches on your elbows And you live an easy life Well are you finally satisfied Is it what you were lookin’ for Or does it sneak up on you That there might be something more Now are you playing possum Keeping a low profile Are you playing possum for a while Are you just playing possum for a while Are you just playing possum for a while

La chanson évoque le parcours de personnes qui, après avoir embrassé une vie radicale et engagée, finissent par se sédentariser et adopter un mode de vie plus tranquille. Elle soulève des questions sur le désenchantement face aux idéaux de jeunesse et sur le véritable sens de la satisfaction au fil du temps. Les personnages passent d'une vie pleine de promesses à une existence plus ordinaire, où ils s'interrogent sur leur choix et les aspirations qu'ils ont laissées derrière eux. Le contexte de cette période est marqué par des mouvements sociaux et politiques forts, où beaucoup cherchaient à défier les conventions et à apporter des changements. Pourtant, avec le temps, la réalité s'installe et les rêves juvéniles rencontrent des obstacles pratiques. La réflexion sur la vie, les choix et le sens se fait plus présente, laissant place à une introspection sur ce qui est vraiment important.
