Tv Screen

Iggy Pop

Transposer:

[Verse] Find a beautiful old street Not rushing through this time In a bar where a fat lady reigns supreme Come in and drink with a false name In circus clothes forget their pain They are the zombie bodies Caught in the glow of the TV screen Just forget it? [Instrumental] [Chorus] Forget it all The TV screen TV screen makes you feel small No life at all [Instrumental] Dm Am 4x [Verse] Now that you have turned it off It’s harder than you thought No one wants to give a damn Or even hear a thought They rush from one fad to the next You talk and it has no effect You are the target for stars And the planets on the TV screen Just forget it? [Chorus] Forget it all The TV screen TV screen makes you feel small No life at all [Verse] Find a beautiful old street Not rushing through this time In a bar where a fat lady reigns supreme Come in and drink with a false name In circus clothes forget their pain They are the zombie bodies Caught in the glow of the TV screen Just forget it? [Chorus] Forget it all The TV screen TV screen makes you feel small No life at all [Verse] Now that you have turned it off It’s harder than you thought No one wants to give a damn Or even hear a thought They rush from one fad to the next You talk and it has no effect You are the target for stars And the planets on the TV screen Just forget it? [Chorus] Forget it all The TV screen TV screen makes you feel small No life at all

La chanson évoque une quête d'évasion face à la monotonie et à la superficialité de la vie moderne. Elle décrit des scènes où des individus se perdent dans l'illusion d'un monde médiatique, se laissant happer par le brouhaha du quotidien et par les distractions des écrans. Ces « corps zombifiés » illustrent comment les gens choisissent d’oublier leurs douleurs et de s’évader dans un univers fictif, mais cela ne fait qu'accentuer leur sentiment de petitesse et de vide existentiel. Le contexte est celui d'une société où la télévision et le bruit ambiant dominent, rendant difficile toute prise de conscience ou réflexion personnelle. Dans ce cadre, la chanson nous pousse à réfléchir sur notre engagement envers la réalité et sur l'importance de débrancher pour reconnecter avec le monde.
