Rock Hard Times

Eels

Transposer:

Intro is same as below. They told me that I couldn’t come back here again Took me for some kind of fool Said I was doing things that never should be done But I don’t care about their rules As if I cared ’bout the little minds In the little heads of the herd There’s nothing you could dream Would be more absurd And everybody knows           These are rock hard times                    I gotta make it through       These are rock hard times                    I don’t know what it is they’re trying to do to me Make me into some sick joke                  But no one’s laughing and least of all not me   It’s hard to laugh as you choke              Hollywood lies piled up to the sky Floating your way soon Hope you like the rotten stench of doom And everybody knows           These are rock hard times                  I gotta make it through       These are rock hard times                  Guitar solo chords             /                        /                                     /                        /                         Synth solo chords                                                           () And everybody knows           These are rock hard times                  I gotta make it through       These are rock hard times                  I don’t know what it is they think I’m gonna try They don’t know what they need to fear     The surest sign that the end is coming soon   Is right there in the bathroom mirror      And everybody knows           These are rock hard times                  I gotta make it through       These are rock hard times                              /                       /                                     /           These are rock hard times

La chanson évoque la lutte contre les obstacles et les préjugés que l’on peut rencontrer dans la vie. Elle parle d’un individu qui refuse de se plier aux attentes des autres, se sentant piégé par des normes qu’il juge ridicules. Malgré les difficultés et les pressions, il est déterminé à traverser ces "temps durs", tout en soulignant le caractère absurde des jugements portés sur lui. On ressent une tension entre le désir d’authenticité et les mensonges de la société, notamment de l'industrie du divertissement. Le contexte de la chanson semble s'ancrer dans une période où l'individu se sent écrasé par des attentes irréalistes et par la superficialité qui l’entoure. Cela pourrait refléter une expérience universelle que beaucoup d'entre nous peuvent traverser, surtout dans un monde souvent intransigeant et critique.
