Infamous Angel

Iris DeMent

Transposer:

Last night before I went to sleep my knees dropped to the floor I turned me eyes up to the sky and I prayed "Please help me Lord You know I've sowed my wild oats and now the fun's all gone" And then I heard these tender words and I put them in my song: Infamous Angel come on home To someone who loves you and knows you needed to roam Grab your things a ticket's waiting at the bus depot For: Infamous Angel Destination: Home I heard heaven's choir rejoicing as the tears broke from my eyes And all at once it lifted the weight from my past life I found a pen and I left a note on the dresser drawer "Infamous Angel she don't live here anymore" Infamous Angel come on home To someone who loves you and knows you needed to roam Grab your things a ticket's waiting at the bus depot For: Infamous Angel Destination: Home Then I hurried out the back door as quickly as I could I went flying down two flights of stairs 'til on the street I stood And there I took that final look at my old neighborhood Then I ran down the street proclaiming "Angel gone for good" Infamous Angels goin' home To someone who loves her and knows she needed to roam She grabbed her things and claimed the ticket at the bus depot For: Infamous Angel Destination: Home Infamous Angel Destination: Home

La chanson évoque un moment de repentir et de retour à soi. L'artiste se trouve à un tournant de sa vie, réalisant qu'après avoir goûté à la liberté et à l'insouciance, il est temps de rentrer chez soi, là où l'amour et la compréhension l'attendent. En se tournant vers le ciel, elle cherche l'aide divine pour surmonter son passé chaotique et se diriger vers la paix intérieure. La narratrice ressent une profonde transformation, décider d'abandonner ses anciennes habitudes pour retrouver un lieu de réconfort. Ce chemin de retour est symbolisé par un ticket de bus, un geste simple mais puissant qui représente le désir de renouveau et d'appartenance. C'est une belle illustration de la volonté de quitter le tumulte de la vie pour retrouver ses racines et l'amour d'un foyer.
