These Arms

Dwight Yoakam

Transposer:

From the album ’Swimmin’ Pools Movie Stars’... [Intro]        [Verse 1] Oh these arms that hang here by my side Yeah these arms that ache to open wide. Are useless arms with nothing left to do Since these arms stopped holding you. [Verse 2] Oh these arms are worthless now to me They let you go so how good could they be? Just foolish arms for which I have no need A pair of arms that grew weak and set love free.    [Chorus] Reaching out to embrace a vacant memory    Finding just the empty space around what’s left of me. Two arms that failed completely Arms both scarred so deeply. Keep paying love’s costs with each tragic sway. [Instrumental]                         [Chorus] Trying meekly to assist my struggle with the truth.    Unable to resist what tears still make us view.   Two arms that failed completely Arms both scarred so deeply. Keep paying love’s costs with each tragic sway. [Verse 3] Wo-oh these arms that hang here by my side Woah these arms that ache to open wide. Two useless arms with nothing left to do Since these arms stopped holding you. Since these arms stopped holding you.         

Du même artiste :

Cette chanson évoque la souffrance de quelqu'un qui se rend compte que ses bras, symboles de réconfort et d'amour, sont désormais inutiles après une séparation. Les paroles mettent en avant le désespoir de ne plus pouvoir étreindre la personne aimée, révélant un sentiment de vide et de douleur face à ce vide laissé par l'absence. La répétition des images d'absence et de faiblesse souligne l'impact de cette perte sur la vie de celui qui chante. C'est un cri du cœur, illustrant comment l'amour, même s'il a été fort, peut laisser des cicatrices profondes lorsque tout semble perdu.
