The Governess - Metric Hope you like it and I’m open for any improvements! Intro slide Em 2x (2nd fret579101214) -> And also for the verses Who did you say you were? I didn’t catch your name Falling down to earth Down from a higher plane Oh it’s been decades Say what did you see? Oh I’ve been so lonely Won’t you keep me company? 2x Do you remember me? We met out on the farm By the fire you spoke to me And held me in your arms The songs you played for me I long to understand All along the watchtower And castles made of sand When there was a wilderness we wandered wild and free Guilt she is the governess that guides me back to grief What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach? Ahhh Em slide 1x Do you remember me? We spoke by telephone The bad connection had a meaning of its own Of all the good and all the stupid shit I’ve done The worst was all for me Not hurting anyone 3x When there was a wilderness I wandered wild and free Guilt she is the governess that guides me back to grief Wish that I was old enough to end the century Gather all the garbage washed up on the beach Ahhh

La chanson évoque des souvenirs d'un amour passé, teintés de mélancolie et de nostalgie. L’interlocuteur cherche à reconnecter avec une personne importante, se remémorant des moments partagés dans un cadre naturel et intime. Il exprime un sentiment de solitude et de regret, tout en soulignant les erreurs commises qui l'ont éloigné des autres. Le thème central semble être la lutte contre la culpabilité, personnifiée par une figure autoritaire qui le ramène à ses peines. Ce cheminement introspectif révèle une quête de sens face à une vie parfois désordonnée, où il se demande si la recherche de rédemption est possible.
