Oracle Of The Maritimes

Neko Case

Transposer:

[Intro] Dm Bb 2x [Verse 1] I planned a dream inside a dream With your uncle A fisherman who died The oracle of the maritimes Too cloudy to see fireworks We would ride A chest of drawers into the waves His granite hand held mi-i-i-ine [Transition 1] I asked him how to tell you How much I could love you ’Cause I’ve never been so sure of anything [Verse 2] Sometimes I feel so beautiful It’s strange for a tomboy Bruises up her legs Your big hand holds my fa-ay-ay-ayce Sometimes I feel so ugly I’m afraid worry nesting in my hair Shedding like a Christmas tree Surely there’s a real woman coming to erase me [Transition 2] There’s no way I could tell you How much I could love you ’Cause I’ve never been so scared of anything [Transition 3] And I’m not even wearing underwear In no way exotic I just forgot to And I’m too much for people so I gauge And shout my thoughts at you from a distance [Transition 4] That’s no way to tell you How much I could love you Though I’ve never been so sure of anything [Break] [Outro] He let go of my hand And passed me an oar The oracle of the maritimes He said "Come on sweet girl let’s find you an ocean That goes with your ey-ey-ey-eyes" He said "Come on sweet girl let’s find you an ocean That goes with your ey-ey-ey-eyes" (single strums):

La chanson évoque un dialogue intime et chargé d’émotions entre deux personnes, où l'un des protagonistes s'adresse au souvenir d'un oncle pêcheur disparu. Ce dernier représente une sorte de guide spirituel, lui offrant des conseils sur l'amour et la beauté. L’interprète évoque ses propres luttes avec son image corporelle et ses sentiments d'insécurité, alternant entre fierté et vulnérabilité. La quête d'un amour authentique se mêle à des réflexions sur l'identité et le passage du temps, tout en cherchant à accepter ses imperfections. Le contexte de cette chanson peut être compris dans une ambiance maritime, où la mer et ses mystères prennent une place centrale. Ce cadre rappelle des thèmes de nostalgie et d'introspection, servant de toile de fond à des pensées sur l’amour et la découverte de soi.
