The Greatest Bastard

Damien Rice

Transposer:

I made you laugh I made you cry I made you open up your eyes Didn’t I? I helped you open up your wings Your legs and many other things Didn’t I? Am I the greatest bastard that you know The only one who lets you go The one you hurt so much you can not bear? We were good when we were good When we were not misunderstood. You helped me love you helped me live You helped me learn how to forgive Didn’t you? Wish that I could say the same But when you left you left the blame. Didn’t you? Am I the greatest bastard that you met The only one you can’t forget Am I the one your truth’s been waiting for? Am I just dreaming once again? Some dreams are better when they end Just woke in bed you were in my head I was underground and in a dream Pass this place I’m not suppose to be And you were there waiting for me And with a smile you said It’s been awhile You asked have I had I seen her recently. Am I the greatest bastard that you know? When will we learn to let this go? We fought so much we’ve broken all the chance! Letting go is not the same As pushing someone else away. So please don’t let on you don’t know me! Please don’t let on that I’m not here! Please don’t let on you don’t love me Cause I know you do I know you do ( ) Somewhere

Cette chanson évoque les sentiments complexes d'une relation où l'amour et la douleur se mêlent. L'artiste se questionne sur son rôle, oscillant entre celui qui apporte de la joie et celui qui inflige de la souffrance. Il fait allusion à des souvenirs partagés, soulignant à quel point la compréhension et l'acceptation sont cruciales dans une relation. Loin de simplement lamenter le passé, il explore la difficulté de laisser partir quelqu'un tout en restant attaché aux souvenirs, à la complicité qui a existé. On perçoit une lutte intérieure entre le désir de réconciliation et la prise de conscience que certains conflits peuvent mener à des ruptures irréparables. Les réflexions sur le pardon, la demande de compréhension, et la peur d'être oublié montrent à quel point les liens émotionnels sont puissants et parfois douloureux. C'est une exploration honnête des relations humaines, où le besoin d'amour et de reconnaissance se heurte à la réalité des départs et des blessures.
