Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

Transposer:

When are you gonna come down When are you going to land I should have stayed on the farm, should have listened to my old man You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing the blues... Ah... Ah... So Goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plow Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny black toad ... Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road... Ah... Ah... What do you think you'll do then ? I bet to shoot down your plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain't got a penny Sniffing for titbits like you on the ground... Ah... Ah...

La chanson évoque le désir de retourner à ses racines, loin des faux-semblants de la vie urbaine et des attentes de la société. Le protagoniste réalise qu'il n'appartient pas à ce monde rempli de superficialité et préfère se reconnecter à un mode de vie plus authentique et simple, celui de la ferme, en écoutant la sagesse de son père. Dans un contexte de quête d'identité et de lutte contre les pressions de la société moderne, il choisit de fuir le luxe et les attentes, pour retrouver la nature et ses vraies valeurs. C'est une réflexion sur la jeunesse, l'innocence perdue et la recherche de soi au-delà des illusions.
