South Tacoma Way

Neko Case

Transposer:

Intro : (3x) I put on that sweater you gave me I woke up in the kitchen a few minutes later I didn't know how I had gotten there Did you guide me I didn't make it to your funeral I didn't want ritual nor resign I just wanted to hold hands with J.P and Mary-Jo But I couldn't conjure tears We're too good for stupid angels Blackness held its breath beside me And burned the air till it was gone Till it was gone Till it was gone (3x) (3x) Couldn't pay my respects to a dead man Your life was much more to me And I chased away with sticks and stones But that rage kept following me Following Me Following Me So lost I was asleep in the palms of your hand In dreams we were happy and safe I can't comprehend the ways I miss you They come to light in my mistakes In my mistakes In my mistakes Now I'm travelling down Tacoma way And the world turns in slow motion It's the twilight of our old home And I'm still in love with you Oh here on South Tacoma way We've memories for matinees And the tears come warm and heavy And the cross streets bare your name And the cross streets bare your name.

Cette chanson évoque le chagrin d'une personne qui se sent perdue après la perte d’un être cher. Elle décrit des souvenirs flottants et des regrets face à l'impossibilité de dire adieu, comme si la douleur s'accrochait comme une ombre. Les images de lieux familiers, comme South Tacoma, renforcent ce sentiment de nostalgie et témoignent de l'amour qui perdure malgré le vide laissé par la séparation. C'est une réflexion sur la façon dont le deuil nous affecte, et comment les souvenirs enflamment à la fois la peine et l'amour encore présents.
