Wisemen

James Blunt

Transposer:

She said to me Go steady on me Won't you tell me What the wise men said When they came down from heaven Smoked nine till seven On the sugar that they could find, but they Couldn't escape from you Couldn't be freed of you And now they know there's no way out And they're really sorry now for what they've done They were three wise men just trying to have some fun Look who's alone now It's not me It's not me Those three wise men they've got a semi by the sea Gotta ask yourself the question Where are you now ? Really sorry now They weren't to know They got caught up in your talent show With your benictor little booboos and your fancy dress Who just judge each other and try to impress but they Couldn't escape from you Couldn't be freed of you And now they know there's no way out And they're really sorry now for what they've done They were three wise men just trying to have some fun Look who's alone now It's not me It's not me Those three wise men they've got a semi by the sea Gotta ask yourself the question Where are you now ? Look who's alone now It's not me It's not me Those three wise men they've got a semi by the sea Gotta ask yourself the question Where are you now ?

La chanson parle d’un dialogue entre deux personnes, où l'un demande à l'autre de ne pas prendre les choses à la légère. Elle évoque des sages venus d’ailleurs, qui, malgré leur sagesse, se sont laissés entraînés par des plaisirs éphémères. Ils réalisent finalement qu'ils ne peuvent échapper à cette situation et ressentent des regrets pour leurs choix passés. On comprend que ces sages, tout en cherchant à s'amuser, se retrouvent piégés par leurs décisions. Le morceau souligne un sentiment d'ironie et de réflexion, où ceux qui semblaient si sages se retrouvent perdus dans un monde de superficialité. C'est une sorte de mise en garde sur les risques de se laisser emporter par les apparences et de ne pas prêter attention aux véritables priorités de la vie.
