My Quicksand

Elton John

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] I put my life on hold and took you home Good sense shot down I placed you on a throne Where was the wheel that kept me on the road The force of nature preventing overload So don’t you know I’ve been dressed to kill If you got the tools be careful what you build When the arrow’s in the bull’s-eye every time It’s hard assuming that the archer’s blind [Chorus] My quicksand Let me introduce you to my final stand I went to Paris once I thought I had a plan I woke up with an accent I wound up in quicksand My quicksand [Verse 2] I was full of foreign notions at the start There was never once when I was off my guard For any ghost of every poet in the ground There’s one like me to buy the guys a round [Chorus] My quicksand Let me introduce you to my final stand I went to Paris once I thought I had a plan I woke up with an accent I wound up in quicksand My quicksand [Bridge] I’m going down You and me together going down It’s not what I’d been told about this town That when you least expect if you can drown In quicksand My quicksand [Solo] [Chorus] My quicksand Let me introduce you to my final stand I went to Paris once I thought I had a plan I woke up with an accent I wound up in quicksand My quicksand

La chanson évoque un voyage intérieur et les tracas d'une quête de sens. L’auteur parle d’un moment de sa vie où il a mis de côté toutes ses certitudes pour se laisser emporter par une relation passionnée et déroutante. C’est un peu comme si, après avoir aspiré à un nouveau départ, il se retrouve pris au piège dans quelque chose de difficile à gérer, un peu comme s’enliser dans du sable mouvant. On ressent une tension entre l’excitation de l’inconnu, représentée par un voyage à Paris, et la perte de contrôle qui en découle, où ses ambitions inititales se heurtent à une réalité bien différente de ses attentes. Ce contraste entre l'idéal et la désillusion est au cœur de sa réflexion, illustrant ainsi la fragilité de l’existence face aux imprévus.
