ELLIOTT SMITH - ROMAN CANDLE Beautiful song from his debut album. The picking of this song is really fast! I think that the technique he uses is to alternate quickly the thumb for low strings and the forefinger for the higher ones. Tuning:DADGBD (tune 1th and 6th string down to a D) Bm:224432 F#m:224234 Db7:x46464 G:555000 Em:22200 Gb:444000   C:x32030 D:000230               He   played himself Didn’t need me to give him hell   He could be cool and cruel to you and me Knew we’d put up with anything     I want to hurt him I want to give him pain I’m a roman candle My head is full of flames    I’m hallucinating   Hallucinating   I hear you cry Your tears are cheap Wet hot red swollen cheeks Fall asleep I want to hurt him I want to give him pain I’m a roman candle My head is full of flames    I want to hurt him    I want to hurt him    I want to hurt him    I want to give him pain             (Whispering part)     x2 (One more time “mmmh”)        Make him feel this pretty burn       (Instrumental ending )     x2    (Last two chords) )  D C

Cette chanson évoque des sentiments de douleur et de désespoir face à des relations conflictuelles. Le narrateur exprime un désir de vengeance sur une personne qui lui a causé du tort, tout en dévoilant une profonde souffrance intérieure. La métaphore du « chandelier romain » renforce l'idée d'un conflit intérieur, où la colère et la passion se mélangent, créant un chaos émotionnel. L'ambiance musicale, marquée par un picking rapide, accentue l'urgence et l'intensité des émotions décrites. La tonalité choisie et les variations dans les accords apportent une profondeur qui illustre parfaitement le tourbillon de pensées du protagoniste. Dans l'ensemble, le morceau capte un moment de fragilité et de lutte personnelle.
