Over the Hills and Far Away

Transposer:

Throwing stones at the embassy, policeman come and arrested me, Paper at the university, said I was a hero, And the wise old judge that I went before, wouldn't believe what I did it for, Said this is no way to stop the war, But, how the hell would he know? Singing songs of dissolution, ban the bomb and beat pollution, Writing on walls about a revolution, that's guaranteed to grow, And I see on the news some identity, with an old man's views on society, Said there's no room for guys like me, But, how the hell would he know? Over the hills and far away, I'm gonna understand one day, What the other half believe in, if it's real or just deceiving, So until I find that day, I'll go along my way, And I'll look back on my life and I'll know I lived it right.           Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou Lying down across the roadway, almost lasted out the whole day, Drivers trying but there was no way, left for them to go, And the wise old judge that we went before, wouldn't believe what we did it for, Said this is no way to help the poor, But, how the hell would he know? Over the hills and far away, I'm gonna understand one day, What the other half believe in, if it's real or just deceiving, So until I find that day, I'll go along my way, And I'll look back on my life and I'll know I lived it right.           Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou      Over the hills and far away, merrily on my way. 1995 came quickly, crept right up and now it's hit me, Seems the mayor of a busy city, don't know where the days go, Build a bridge and move the highway, spend the rest and mend the byways, Someone wrote things across my driveway, and someone broke my window, And I see on the news some identity, with a young man's views on society, Said there's no room for guys like me, But, how the hell would he know. Over the hills and far away, I'm gonna understand one day, What the other half believe in, if it's real or just deceiving, So until I find that day, I'll go along my way, And I'll look back on my life and I'll know I lived it right.           Dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou dou      Over the hills and far away, merrily on my way.

La chanson évoque une quête de compréhension et de sens face à une société souvent injuste et conflictuelle. Le narrateur se rebelle contre l’autorité et la manière dont les décisions sont prises, tout en se questionnant sur les idéaux de ceux qui semblent avoir le pouvoir. Il parle de luttes pour la paix et la justice, tout en étant conscient que ceux qui jugent ne partagent pas nécessairement ses préoccupations. Le contexte pourrait être lié à des événements sociaux ou politiques marquants, où les voix dissidentes sont souvent étouffées, et où les jeunes cherchent à se frayer un chemin dans une réalité complexe. C'est un reflet des tensions entre ceux qui souffrent et ceux qui sont en position de pouvoir, cherchant à faire entendre leur voix tout en espérant découvrir un sens plus profond dans leur existence.
