New York's not my Home

Jim Croce

Transposer:

Things were spinning round me And all my thoughts were cloudy And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me Been in so many places You know I've run so many races And looked into the empty faces of the people of the night And something is just not right 'Cause I know that I gotta get out of here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get out of here 'Cause, New York's not my home Though all the streets are crowded There's something strange about it I lived there about a year and I never once felt at home I thought I'd make the big time I learned a lot of lessons awful quick And now I'm telling you Fdim That they were not the nice kind And it's been so long since I have felt fine That's the reason that I gotta get out of here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get out of here 'Cause, New York's not my home Instrumental : That's the reason that I gotta get out of here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get out of here 'Cause, New York's not my home Finale :

Cette chanson évoque une profonde sensation de solitude et de désilusion face à une ville où l'on ne se sent pas à sa place. L'artiste partage son sentiment d'errance après avoir parcouru de nombreux endroits, ressentant un vide malgré la foule qui l'entoure. Malgré ses espoirs de succès, il réalise que New York ne lui apporte pas le réconfort et l'appartenance qu'il désire. Le contexte de cette chanson semble évoquer l'expérience de ceux qui, en quête de leur place dans le monde, se rendent compte que certaines aspirations peuvent mener à un sentiment d'isolement. Après avoir vécu des leçons difficiles, il éprouve un besoin pressant de partir pour retrouver un sens de l'identité et de la sérénité.
