Who Was I Kidding

Martha Wainwright

Transposer:

Song is plucked - add guitar plucking pattern in notes if you pick it out - I’m on Uke so doesn’t match. Some angsty/angry strumming in and after the second Chorus (starts on "kidding"). [Verse 1] Left the pain before the dawn She never thought it would or could be easy Been inclined to carry on Hold my hard head And watch you walk out on me See the tears one by one They fall down my hard head Forevermore [Chorus] Fall around into the ground Deep down Far as you can [Verse 2] Go out tonight & meet the dawn again It’d be nice to see an old friend Learn to accept the things I am I never liked myself before Now even less When it rains it pours Down my hard head forever More [Chorus] Fall around into the ground Deep down Far as you can Who was I ki -- -- -- dding? Who was I ki -- -- -- dding? [Bridge] Oh your record label hasn’t come through yet You’ve gained some weight And all you can think is When the Romeo’s gonna show Oh I know babe You’re the best thing yet But take it from me I would if I could Fuck it up [Chorus] Your mother loves you Your daddy needs you Your brother feeds you OOoooo OOoooo Far as you can Who was I kidding?

La chanson aborde des thèmes de douleur et de désillusion, illustrant une lutte intérieure face à des relations compliquées. L’artiste évoque la difficulté de laisser derrière soi les blessures et les pertes, tout en oscillant entre espoir et désespoir. Elle réfléchit sur son incapacité à s'accepter et sur la solitude qui l'envahit, la douleur se manifestant alors qu’elle essaie de se reconstruire. Le texte semble aussi faire allusion à des attentes déçues et un sentiment de confusion dans la quête de l'amour et de l'acceptation. En toile de fond, il y a un mélange d'ironie et de vulnérabilité, laissant entendre que parfois, nous nous berçons d'illusions sur nous-mêmes et les autres.
