Hallowed Ground

KT Tunstall

Transposer:

[Intro]            [Chorus] Standing on hallowed ground standing on hallowed ground All folks like to stand here And they’re not even from this town When I make myself some money And my path in life is found I’m taking off to find my hallowed ground [Verse] Well I’m drinking in the graveyard And I’m roving through the park Dreaming through the daytime And just waiting for the dark Cause that’s when I can see them Pouring out the Cutty Sark Stamping their bony feet to leave their mark   [Chorus] Stamping on hallowed ground stamping on hallowed ground All folks like to stamp here And they’re not even from this town When I make myself some money And my path in life is found I’m taking off to find my hallowed ground    [Instrumental]                                      [Verse] Well they hung them from the windows And they burnt them at the stake All their misdemeanors But they may have made mistakes So keep your cauldrons quiet And keep your neck in brace You’re lucky to be living in this place [Chorus] Living on hallowed ground living on hallowed ground All types like to live here And they’re not even from this town When I make myself some money And my path in life is found I’m taking off to find my hallowed ground    [Instrumental]                              [Verse] Well the pyres are all ashes And the water’s running clear The screaming of repentance Is too distant now to hear So I’ll row my boat like Flora And I’ll ride like Paul Revere I’m going to get the fuck away from here     [Chorus] Get the fuck away from hallowed ground get away from hallowed ground People get away here Well I’m trying to get out of this town When I make myself some money And my path in life is found Well I’m taking off to find my hallowed ground   Well I’m taking off to find my hallowed ground   Well I’m taking off to find my hallowed ground [Outro]

Lonely This Christmas

La chanson évoque le désir de trouver un endroit sacré, un « sol vénéré », où l'on peut vraiment être soi-même, loin des jugements des autres. Elle parle de la lutte entre le passé et le présent, faisant allusion à des souvenirs douloureux et à une histoire marquée par la souffrance. L'artiste évoque des images de lieux chargés d'histoire, où même des étrangers se sentent attirés, désirant échapper à leur réalité. Le contexte semble faire référence à une quête personnelle et spirituelle, avec une touche d’irrévérence envers les conventions sociales. On ressent une volonté de se libérer des contraintes du passé pour se diriger vers un avenir meilleur. C'est un voyage à la fois physique et introspectif, à la recherche de sens dans un monde complexe.
