I Tried To Die Young

Melanie

Transposer:

Intro: I tried to die young really I tried But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb I laugh at the things that I’ve done When I tried to die young I took a plane through the dawn threw myself on the tracks But the train didn’t come and I had to walk back I jumped into the whirlpool thought I’d get sucked in I just kept spinning around ’til I learned how to swim and I Tried to die young boy did I try But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb And I laugh at the things I’ve done When I tried to die young Well my heart kept on breaking and the crack sought the edge Where the hand of a shadow grabbed the hand in my head There were demons I know them and they still come by But we’ve become friends my demons and I Well I tried to die young really I tried But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb And I laugh at the things I’ve done When I tried to die young I took a razor to the wrist of reality Hell-bent on my way toward futility I’ve got a reason to believe that it won’t go on forever But reason to the heart is a message undelivered Ahhh I tried to die young really really I tried But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb And I laugh at the things I’ve done When I tried to die young Now I’m the old girl I never thought I’d become "Does it get any better?" asks the little girl in my song I’m still learning the answers so I make up things you see She laughs "You’re still the same and you’ll never kill me!" Oh I tried to die young really I tried But the voice deep inside would not let me succumb And I laugh at the things I’ve done When I tried to die young OUTRO: (## repeat and adlib to end ##) Oh I laugh at the things I’ve done Well I laugh at the things I’ve done I laugh at the things I’ve done When I tried to die young

Cette chanson explore le combat intérieur d'une personne qui a essayé de mettre fin à sa vie jeune, mais qui a finalement trouvé la force de résister grâce à une voix intérieure qui l’encourage à persévérer. Elle évoque des moments sombres et des luttes contre des démons personnels, tout en reflétant l’écart entre ses tentatives désespérées et la légèreté avec laquelle elle peut désormais rire de son passé. Au fil des paroles, cette épreuve transforme la douleur en résilience, montrant que même dans les moments les plus sombres, il y a une volonté de vivre et d'apprendre. Le contexte d’écriture pourrait découler d’expériences de vie marquées par des défis émotionnels, un parcours où la lutte contre soi-même se confronte à la recherche de sens et d'espoir, soulignant que parfois, la sagesse et la force naissent des épreuves.
