Crooked Teeth

Death Cab for Cutie

Transposer:

It was one hundred degrees as we sat beneath a willow tree Whose tears didn’t care they just hung in the air and refused to fall to fall. And I knew I’d made horrible call. And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall And there was no doubt about which side I was on. Hmmm..... (maj7) ’Cause I built you a home in my heart (maj7) with rotten wood--it decayed from the start ’Cause you can’t find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along. No you can’t find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along. Main Riff I braved treacherous streets and kids strung out on homemade speed And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep at all woo-hoo woo-hoo ’Cause at night the sun in retreat made the skyline look like crooked teeth In the mouth of a man who was devouring us both You’re so cute when you’re slurring your speech (2) But they’re closing the bar and they want us to leave. Chorus play last 2 measures (hold 2) (hold 2) I’m a war of head versus heart (hold 2) (hold 2) It’s always this way. (hold 2) (hold 2) My head is weak my heart always speaks (hold 2) (2) Before I know what it will say. Instrumental: / - - - / - - - / - - - / x3 / - - - / - - - / - - - / - - - - / And you can’t find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along. No you can’t find nothing at all (2) If there was nothing there all along. No you can’t find nothing at all If there was nothing there all along. There were churches theme parks and malls (hold) There was nothing there all along.

Cette chanson évoque une atmosphère lourde, où la chaleur de l'été semble oppressante et où les regrets prennent une place prépondérante. L'artiste exprime le désespoir d'un amour qui semblait prometteur mais qui, en réalité, n'était construit que sur du vide. Le cœur et l’esprit se confrontent, le premier parlant avec passion quand le second se débat avec le doute. Les images de paysages urbains déchus et d'une intimité inachevée renforcent ce sentiment de perte et de désillusion. Le contexte dépeint une relation complexe marquée par des choix difficiles et des souvenirs d'un passé qui semble désormais lointain. L'idée de chercher quelque chose de précieux dans un endroit qui n'a jamais offert de véritable fondement résonne fortement. Les références à des lieux familiers comme des églises ou des centres commerciaux rappellent que, malgré la quête de sens, il n'y a rien de tangible à trouver.
