Idol

Elton John

Transposer:

[Intro](Solo Piano) Abdim/ Ddim/ [Verse 1] Oh he was a light star Tripping on a high wire Bulldog stubborn and born uneven Baug A classless creature Abdim / E Am7 A man for all seasons but don’t bet them They can’t take him to the very bottom Because they made him and they’ll waste him Baug Abdim/E Abdim Am7 And I don’t believe that I want to watch them [Piano interlude] [Chorus] Because the fifties shifted out of gear He was an idol then now he’s an idol here But his face has changed he’s not the same no more And I have to say that I like the way his music sounded before [Verse 2] He was tight-assed Walking on broken glass Highly prized in the wallet size Baug Abdim/E Am9 The number one crush in a schoolgirl’s eyes But don’t pretend that it won’t end In the depth of your despair You went from lame suits right down to tennis shoes To peanuts from the lion’s share alright [Interlude] [Chorus] Because the fifties shifted out of gear He was an idol then now he’s an idol here But his face has changed he’s not the same no more And I have to say that I like the way his music sounded before [Outro] [Ending] Baug Abdim/E Am9

La chanson évoque l’histoire d’une icône qui, malgré sa gloire passée, est confrontée aux réalités de la vie et du temps qui passe. Elle dépeint un personnage qui a brillé au sommet, mais qui a subi des transformations, tant dans son apparence que dans l'impact de sa musique. On ressent un mélange de nostalgie et de constat amer face à un succès qui semble désormais teinté de mélancolie, témoignant de l'éphémère nature de la célébrité. En arrière-plan, on perçoit une réflexion sur l’ascension et la chute d'une figure admirée, en soulignant les changements de l’époque et l'aliénation qui peut en découler. La chanson vise également à rappeler que derrière les paillettes, il y a souvent des défis et des luttes invisibles.
