Selah

Lauryn Hill

Transposer:

Lauryn Hill : Selah Nothing can be done against the truth No matter how we remain in denial Wasting time Replacing time With each empty excuse But that’ll only work a little while Coping with despair Knowing you’re not there Ashamed to just admit I’ve been a fool So I blame it on the sun Run away from everyone Hoping to escape this ridicule Trapped in misery Wrapped so miserably In this deception that I’m wearin’ like a skin Dying to maintain Oh I keep trying to explain A heart that never loved me to begin Oh I’m such a mess I have no choice but to confess That I’ve been desperately trying to belong Lying to myself And everybody else Refusing to admit my right was wrong [Refrain:] And then he came Selah And it means Praise and Meditation And then he came Selah And it means Did ya think about that? And then he came Selah Oh and it means Praise and Meditation And then he came Selah oh and it means That it is seen How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots? My guilty heart behaved so foolishly This treason from within That reasons with my sin Won’t be happy till it sees the death of me Selfishly addicted To a life that I depicted Conflicted cuz it’s not reality Oh what’s left of me I beg you desperately Cause me to agree to what I know is best for me Please save me from myself I need you to save me from myself Please save me from myself so I can heal The choices that I have made Oh have been nothing but mistakes What a wasted use of space Should I die before I wake? In all of my religion I’ve fortified this prison Obligated to obey The demands of bad decisions Please save me from myself I need you to save me from myself Please save me from myself so I can heal And then he came Selah And it means Praise and Meditation And then he came Selah And it means Did ya think about that? And he came Selah Oh and it means Meditation And then he came Selah Oh and it means That it is seen And then he came

Cette chanson aborde la lutte intérieure de l’artiste face à la vérité et aux erreurs qu’elle a commises. Elle évoque un sentiment d'égarement, une quête désespérée de rédemption et de compréhension de soi. La narratrice se sent piégée par ses choix et ses mensonges, cherchant à échapper à la douleur et à la honte qui l’accablent. Le refrain récurrent souligne l'arrivée d'une présence réconfortante, symbolisant l'espoir, la méditation et l'élévation spirituelle. Dans un contexte plus large, ce morceau peut être perçu comme un reflet des luttes personnelles que chacun peut rencontrer, où l’on se débat avec ses propres démons tout en cherchant une issue. La mention de la méditation et de la louange dans le refrain invite à une prise de conscience et à un recentrage autour de valeurs plus élevées et d'une connexion authentique avec soi-même et avec Dieu.
