Never and Always on My Mind

Damien Rice

Transposer:

You left it. I sent it. I want it back. You left it. I sent it. I want it back. If I had you here I'd clip your wings Snap you up And leave you sprawling On my pin. This plan of mine Is Oh so very lame. Can't you see The grass is greener Where it rains? And you left... I died. I went... And you cried. You came... I think. But I never really know. Now I've served my time. I've watched you climb The wrong incline. But you never really know. Accept it. Don't let it Fuck you up. Accept it. Don't let it Fuck you up. This applies equally To you and I... The only thing We've shared Is the same sky. These empty metaphors... They're all in vain. Can't you see The grass is greener Where it rains? And you left... I died. I went... You cried. You came... I think. But I never really know. Now I've served my time. I've watched you climb The wrong... You left it. I sent it. I want it back. You never really know. Accept it. Don't let it Fuck you up. You never really know. And you left... I died. I went... You cried. You came... I think. You never really know. I've served my time. I've watched you climb The wrong incline. You never really know. You never really know. You never really know.

Cette chanson évoque une relation compliquée, remplie de regrets et de désirs inassouvis. Le protagoniste exprime une profonde douleur liée à une séparation, tout en cherchant désespérément à recoller les morceaux d'un passé qu'ils avaient partagé. Il parle d'un désir de contrôler la situation pour retrouver ce qu'il a perdu, mais il se rend compte que ces illusions ne mèneront à rien, et que l'acceptation semble être la seule voie possible. Le contexte de cette réflexion semble se situer après une rupture, avec des souvenirs qui refont surface, illustrant une lutte interne entre l'attachement et la nécessité de lâcher prise. Dans cette lutte, il évoque les frustrations d’une communication incomplète et d’un chemin choisi à l’encontre de la vérité des sentiments. Cela témoigne de cette tendance à idéaliser une relation passée, tout en finissant par admettre que parfois, il est préférable d'accepter la réalité plutôt que de rester figé dans une nostalgie stérile.
