White Tooth Man

Iron & Wine

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] Said the plain clothes cop to the beauty queen "I’ve seen nothing but a spoke in the wheel" So she gave up her crown to a kid with a crutch And they both felt cheated after closing the deal When the white tooth man I ran with then Got all caught up from pissing out in the weeds And a fight upstate with a broken blade And a wife whose finger never wanted a ring [Link 1] [Verse 2] Said the plain clothes cop to the Indian chief "I’ve made nothing but an honest mistake" And the postman cried while reading your mail And we all got trampled in the Christmas parade When the white tooth man who sold me the gun A map of Canaan and a government bond Said "I love this town but it ain’t the same" His ski mask ripped as he was putting it on [Link 2] [Verse 3] Said the plain clothes cop to the holy ghost "I’ve heard nothing yet that wasn’t the wind" And we all got sick on a strip club meal While the statehouse pardoned all the witches again So the white tooth man with his kids in the car And a wad of money that was already spent Said "I love my dog but she just ran away And she’ll keep running like the world never ends" [Link 3]

La chanson évoque des rencontres inattendues entre des personnages aux destins mêlés, chacun portant un fardeau différent. On y trouve un policier en civil qui témoigne d'une société désenchantée, où une reine de beauté abandonne son trône et un homme aux dents blanches se fait rattraper par ses erreurs et ses tensions. Les situations sont marquées par des moments de désillusion et de regrets, comme une dispute ou l'absence d'amour dans une relation. Le tout se déroule dans une atmosphère de malaise où la normalité est troublée par des événements imprévus, laissant chacun sur un chemin incertain. Ces dialogues entre les personnages soulignent une quête de sens et la lutte pour trouver sa place dans un monde en perte de repères.
