False Eyelashes

Dolly Parton

Transposer:

Folks back home think I’m a star now when they hear my records play They say their hometown girl made good and should go long long way Mom wonders why I don’t drive back in that big fine car I own Truth is I don’t have a car and I’m ashamed to go back home A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick A pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn’t fit These are all of my possessions all I have to my name And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame I’m so glad that dad can’t see me now his favorite little girl Singin’ in this dingy place on the wrong side of the world Now I’m glad that I can’t see the boy that offered me his name For I was blind and turned from him in this empty search for fame A pair of false eyelashes and a tube of cheap lipstick A pair of worn-out high heel shoes and a dress doesn’t fit These are all of my possessions all I have to my name And the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame Yes the record played in my hometown is my only claim to fame

La chanson évoque le parcours d'une jeune femme qui, malgré son succès musical, se sent vide et déconnectée de ses racines. Elle fait face à un paradoxe : bien que sa musique soit appréciée dans sa ville natale, elle ne possède que des accessoires superficiels et un sentiment de honte quant à son véritable état. La gloire ne remplace pas l'authenticité, et elle se rend compte qu'elle a négligé des relations importantes dans sa quête de reconnaissance, perdant ainsi de vue ce qui est véritablement précieux dans la vie.
