Sitting Doing Nothing

Elton John

Transposer:

[Intro] [Chorus] I’m just sitting doing no-thing Wondering where I should go [Verse 1] People tell me I’m just la-zy Whether or not it’s true I don’t know [Chorus] So I’m just sitting doing no-thing Wondering where I should go [Bridge] Many people that I’ve encoun-tered Say they wish that the-ey were free And I know that secretly All those people would really like to be me [Verse 2] So even though they tell me I’m idle Why should I do what they say For they’re in the same place all the time But I’m only there for a day [Chorus] So I’m just sitting doing no-thing Wondering where I should go [Outro] Aaaah - Aaaah - Aaaah Aaaah - Aaaah - Aaaah

La chanson évoque un état d’inaction volontaire, où l'artiste se retrouve à réfléchir sur sa vie et les choix qui s’offrent à lui. Malgré les critiques sur son attitude jugée paresseuse, il se demande pourquoi suivre les attentes des autres, alors qu’il semble apprécier sa liberté, même si c’est pour un temps limité. Il souligne une certaine ironie, car ceux qui le jugent aspirent souvent à la même insouciance. En fin de compte, il choisit de rester dans cet instant de contemplation, remettant en question les conventions.
