What Is It That I Need That I Dont Already Have

Elvis Costello

Transposer:

[Verse 1] What is it that I need that I don’t already have? Who was there in the past that I couldn’t seem to save? But will I seem so smart me and my broken heart When I am pretending to be brave [Verse 2] What is there up ahead that I can’t already see? Startling as it seems well it’s supposed to be Where am I going next? And if no one objects Just close the door and that’ll be the end of me [Bridge] What is it that I lost that I don’t really need Some glasses for my eyes And an hour or two of speed My hands don’t blister my hands don’t bleed But I’ll never be contented repent or ever be lamented ’Til I’m planted down like rotten crops And covered up with weeds [Verse 3] What is it that I want that I can’t already taste? A damson from a tree Ddim E7 A girl that I once chased A girl who ran away and wanted to be caught Then bade farewell to my love like some merchandise she bought [Bridge] Things are going up like blasphemous prayers I burned up all my paper money on those London derrieres Prayers and paper money will burn until you choke The things I should have said They were so easily left unspoken I didn’t break you down You were already broken [Verse 4] What is it that I need that I don’t already have? Who was there in the past that I couldn’t even see? But will I seem so smart me and my broken heart When I am pretending to be free? When I am pretending to be free? When I am pretending to be free

La chanson aborde les réflexions d'une personne sur ses désirs et ses manques, tout en faisant face à ses blessures émotionnelles. Elle se demande ce qu'elle cherche réellement et si tout ce qu'elle désire ne se trouve pas déjà à l'intérieur d'elle-même. À travers des souvenirs de relations passées, elle réalise que son cœur brisé l'empêche de trouver la paix, et que souvent, les choses non dites pèsent lourdement sur lui. Le contexte de ces paroles évoque un sentiment de quête intérieure, soulignant la lutte entre l'illusion de la liberté et la réalité de ses propres chaînes émotionnelles. La mélancolie des souvenirs perdus et des occasions manquées se mêle à une recherche de compréhension de soi. C'est une plongée sincère dans les pensées d'un cœur en quête de guérison.
