Shattered Image

Dolly Parton

Transposer:

[Verse] I used to sit for hours as a kid And dangle my feet from an old flat bridge Seeing myself in the water below Shatter my image with the rocks I’d throw Shatter my image with the rocks I’d throw [Chorus] A long time gone and a long time ago When I shattered my image with the rocks I’d throw The world is cruel and people are cold Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw Shatter my image with the rocks they throw [Verse] I’m far from perfect but I ain’t all bad And it hurts me more than it makes me mad We all do things that we don’t want told And we all throw stones that we shouldn’t throw You shattered my image with the rocks you throw [Chorus] A long time gone and a long time ago When I shattered my image with the rocks I’d throw The world is cruel and people are cold Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw Shatter my image with the rocks they throw [Verse] If you live in a glass house don’t throw stones Don’t shatter my image ’til you look at your own Look at your reflection in your house of glass Don’t open my closet if your own’s full of trash Stay out of my closet if your own’s full of trash [Chorus] A long time gone and a long time ago When I shattered my image with the rocks I’d throw The world is cruel and people are cold Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw Shatter my image with the rocks they throw [Outro] Shatter my image with the rocks you throw Don’t shatter my image with the rocks you throw Produced By Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton Written By                           Dolly Parton                  Release Date                         August 161976                       All I Can Do (1976) DOLLY PARTON

Du même artiste :

La chanson évoque le souvenir d'une enfance marquée par la réflexion et l'introspection. Elle parle des blessures causées par les jugements d'autrui, soulignant que même si chacun a ses défauts, ces critiques peuvent faire mal. L'artiste invite aussi à la réflexion sur soi-même, rappelant qu'il est facile de blâmer les autres sans se préoccuper de ses propres faiblesses. En somme, la chanson traite de la vulnérabilité humaine et de la nécessité de se regarder dans le miroir avant de lancer des reproches.
