It Takes A Lot To Know A Man

Damien Rice

Transposer:

INTRO: VERSE It takes a lot to know a man It takes a lot to understand The warrior the sage The little boy in rage It takes a lot to know a woman A lot to understand what’s humming The honey-bee that stings The little girl with wings Chorus It takes a lot to give to ask for help to be yourself to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to be to touch to feel the slow re-veal of what another body needs VERSE It tales a lot to know a man A lot to know to understand the father and the son the hunted and the gone It takes a lot to know a woman A lot to comprehend what’s coming The mother and the child The muse and the beguiled Chorus It takes a lot to give to ask for help to be yourself to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to be to touch to feel the slow reveal of what another body needs Chorus It takes a lot to give to ask for help to be yourself to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to be to touch to feel the slow reveal of what another body needs Chorus It takes a lot to give to ask for help to be yourself to know and love what you live with It takes a lot to be to touch to feel the slow reveal of what another body needs BRIDGE What are you so afraid to lose? What is it you’re thinking that will happen if you do? (so afraid to lose) What are you so afraid to lose? What is it you’re thinking that will happen if you do? (It takes a lot to know a man...) What are you so afraid to lose? (It takes a lot to know a man...) What is it you’re thinking that will happen if you do? (It takes a lot to know a man...) What is it you carry on your bag? (It takes a lot to know a man...) What is it you notice when you can’t laugh? (Know you can have to know...) Instrumental OUTRO

Cette chanson évoque la complexité humaine et la profondeur des relations. Elle souligne qu'il faut beaucoup de temps et d'efforts pour vraiment comprendre une personne, que ce soit un homme ou une femme. Elle parle des différentes facettes de l'identité : le combattant, le sage, l'enfant en colère, ainsi que le père et le fils, la mère et l'enfant. L'artiste met en avant l'importance de l'empathie, de la vulnérabilité et de l'écoute dans nos interactions, tout en posant la question de ce qui nous retient de dévoiler notre authenticité. Les paroles soulignent également que chaque individu cache des besoins profonds, qu'il est essentiel de découvrir pour établir de véritables connexions.
