Israel

Morrissey

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1 You realize if you’re happy Jesus sends you straight to hell? Israel Israel verse 2 And should you dare enjoy your body Here tolls Hades’ welcome bell Israel Israel verse 3 You’ve found a middle-course existence We’re all bones and flesh and shell Israel Israel Bridge I can’t answer for what armies do They are not you They are not you They are not you verse 4 In other climes they bitch and whine Just because you’re not like them Israel Israel Verse 5 The sky is dark for many others They want it dark for you as well Israel Israel Verse 6 Earth is just one big asylum And explodes a prison cell See us squirm In our own damaged spell Verse 7 You were born as guilty sinners Before you stood upright you fell Put the fear of many gods in Israel Verse 8 Nature gave you every impulse Who are virgin priests to tell Who how to love how to live Israel Verse 9 And they who reign abuse upon you They are jealous of you as well Love yourself as you should Israel

La chanson aborde la tension entre le bonheur personnel et les normes sociales ou religieuses qui peuvent peser sur nos choix. Elle évoque l'idée que trouver sa propre voie peut être perçu comme un péché dans un monde qui impose des attentes strictes. Au fil des vers, on ressent un contraste entre la quête d'authenticité et les pressions extérieures, illustrant la lutte entre le désir de vivre pleinement et la peur de la réprobation. Les références à la nature humaine et aux institutions religieuses mettent en lumière le conflit entre le soi et les jugements des autres. C'est une réflexion sur la complexité de l'identité et la nécessité de l'amour de soi malgré les obstacles.
