The Race Is On

Grateful Dead

Transposer:

Verse: I feel tears welling up from down deep insidelike my hearts got a big break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake. You might think that Im taking it hard since you broke me off with a call - You might wager that Ill hide in sorrow and I might lay right down and bawl. Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches a goin to the inside My tears are holding back tryin not to fall. My hearts our of the running true love scratched for another’s sake - The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all. (Solo: Chorus and VERSE progressions) Verse: One day I ventured in love never once suspecting what the final result would be. Now I live in fear of waking up each morningand finding that youre gone from me. There’s an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face - Someone else came out to win her and I came out in second place. Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches a goin to the inside my tears are holding back tryin not to fall. My hearts our of the running true love scratched for another’s sake - The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all. (Solo: Chorus and VERSE progressions) Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches a goin to the inside my tears are holding back tryin not to fall. My hearts our of the running true love scratched for another’s sake - The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all.

La chanson évoque les douleurs d'un cœur brisé, où l’artiste exprime sa tristesse et son sentiment de perte après une séparation. Il se sent accablé par la solitude et la peur de se réveiller sans l'autre, comme si chaque matin apportait son lot de souffrance. La métaphore de la course illustre la compétition entre son orgueil et sa douleur, où l'amour véritable lui échappe au profit d'un autre. Le contexte évoque un moment de vulnérabilité et de désespoir, où l’artiste lutte contre ses émotions conflictuelles, tentant de garder ses larmes à distance tout en réalisant qu'il n'est pas celui qui a gagné ce combat amoureux. Cette lutte entre fierté et désespoir donne une dimension poignante à sa réflexion sur l’amour perdu.
