Dreidel

Don McLean

Transposer:

I feel like a spinnin’ top or a dreidel the spinnin’ don’t stop when you leave the cradle you just slow down. ’Round and around this world you go spinnin’ through the lives of the people you know we all slow down. How you gonna keep on turnin’ from day to day? How you gonna keep from turnin’ your life away? No days you can borrow no time you can buy no trust in tomorrow it’s a lie ! + CHORUS And I feel like I’m a dippin’ and a divin’ my sky shoes are spiked with lead heels. I’m lost in this star car I’m a drivin’ But my air soul keeps pushin’ big wheels. My world is a constant confusion my mind is prepared to attack My past a persuasive illusion I’m watchin’ the future it’s black. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - What do you know? You know just what you perceive ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - What can you show? Nothing of what you believe ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - And as you grow each thread of life that you leave - will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs as you sell your soul and you sow your seeds and you wound yourself and your loved one bleeds and your habits grow and your conscience feeds - an all that you thought you should be --- I never thought this could happen to m.............e. I feel like a spinnin’ top or a dreidel the spinnin’ don’t stop when you leave the cradle you just slow down. ’Round and around this world you go spinnin’ through the lives of the people you know we all slow down. How you gonna keep on turnin’ from day to day? How you gonna keep from turnin’ your life away? I feel like a spinnin’ top or a dreidel the spinnin’ don’t stop when you leave the cradle you just slow down you just slow down you just - slow - - down.

La chanson évoque la sensation de tourner sans cesse dans le cycle de la vie, comme une toupie ou un dreidel qui ne cesse de tourner. Elle parle de cette lutte pour avancer au jour le jour, tout en prenant conscience que le temps ne peut être récupéré ni acheté. L’artiste aborde des thèmes de confusion, d'incertitude sur l’avenir, et la façon dont nos actions et nos choix influencent notre existence et celle de ceux qui nous entourent. Le texte souligne la difficulté de se libérer des attentes et des croyances qui nous entravent, et comment les conséquences de nos actes se répercutent sur notre vie. Il suggère un retour sur soi, une nécessité de ralentir pour mieux comprendre les liens qui nous unissent aux autres. Au fond, c'est un appel à la réflexion sur le sens de notre parcours.
