Better than This

Keane

Transposer:

Intro : Is this what you meant ? Is this what you dreamed of ? When you were making your plans Shaking the dirt off ? Do you feel like You and I belong ? (Oh woah oh !) Just keep your eyes on the road And nothing can go wrong You can do so much better than this You can do so much better than this I've been checking my sums Oh where did the time go ? Holding my photograph Up to the window Through the paper And refracted sun (Oh woah oh !) I can see all the things I wish that I'd done You can hang your hopes on the medicine You can put your faith in the phone in You can tell yourself you're doing your best You can do so much better than this Get a grip on yourself Get a grip on yourself Could've been something, but you're too late And you weren't invited anyway Cos the photograph showed the wrong man Cos there is no soap star holding your hand You don't see yourself in the freeze frame Must be someone else using your name And everyone will be the same And everyone will gloat And everywhere you'll see your name In every shop window It's better than this You can do so much better than this You can do so much better than this You can do so much better than this (x2)

La chanson évoque un sentiment de désillusion et d'aspiration à quelque chose de meilleur dans la vie. Elle questionne les rêves et les attentes que l’on a, se demandant si la réalité correspond vraiment à nos ambitions. À travers des images comme des souvenirs photographiques et des promesses non tenues, elle souligne le contraste entre ce qui était espéré et ce qui est vécu. Le contexte est celui d'une réflexion sur les choix de vie et les regrets, surtout quand on réalise que certains objectifs semblent inaccessibles ou que l'on a perdu de vue ce qui compte vraiment. C'est une invitation à reprendre le contrôle et à ne pas se laisser abattre par des obstacles, tout en reconnaissant que chacun a la capacité de s'élever au-dessus de ses circonstances actuelles.
