Gently We Row

Melissa Etheridge

Transposer:

When my soul crashed into my body Falling into consciousness That’s when my mind began this illusion Of taking it step after step I looked into mother’s eyes I said tell me what I should believe She drew me a room with a light Said just turn it off when you leave Slow slow this river is slow We’re all out here on our own Row row gently we row One day we’ll find our way home Step after step they drew me a town They drew me a fear and a need They drew me a god and they drew me some money Hiding the truth far from me I asked the cool fire light Tell me what I should believe they Gave me a song and they gave me a dance and said Sleep now your pain will relieve Slow slow this river is slow We’re all out here on our own Row row gently we row One day we’ll find our way home I’ve stumbled and crawled I’ve begged to know why And I’ve been a-shamed when I’ve chosen to lie In all of this darkness I have searched for a light To come and find me And when I found me I wrapped my arms round my own daughter As she fell into her place and time And as her mind creates her illusions I won’t complicate hers with mine She looked into her mother’s eyes She said tell me what I should believe And I drew her a door and I drew her a key And I said when you’re ready you’ll come and find me And we’ll walk out of here and tomorrow will be a new Dayyyyyyyyyyy Slow slow this river is slow And you’re never out here on our own Row row gently we row And together we’ll find our way. Slow slow this river is slow Life is not what it seems Row row gently we row The truth is It’s only a dream

Cette chanson évoque le voyage intérieur et la quête de sens au sein de la vie. Elle aborde le moment de la prise de conscience où l'âme rencontre le corps, ainsi que les illusions que l'on se crée au fil de notre existence. L'artiste se remémore des échanges avec sa mère, cherchant des réponses sur ce en quoi croire, tout en découvrant un espace de lumière et de réconfort. Le thème central tourne autour de la navigation dans les défis de la vie, où chacun avance à son propre rythme. Elle souligne l'importance des liens familiaux, notamment entre une mère et sa fille, et la transmission des leçons et des croyances. Au fil des expériences, il semble que la vie soit un rêve, mêlant réalité et illusion, et que nous devrions avancer ensemble, main dans la main, vers un demain meilleur.
