Carnival Games

Nelly Furtado

Transposer:

[Verse 1] If you spend enough cash at the carnival games You’ll have a prize in your hand when you walk away It’ll slip through your fingers and you’ll never know What winning’s really like at all I stayed here too long now it’s in my soul And when the thunder rolls I’ve got nowhere to go I keep going round on this carousel Because it spins me so well [Pre-Chorus] And I’ll stay with you just a little while There’s so much for us to see and do But don’t mistake this for An adventure in paradise Just because the ride looks so good [Chorus] Carnival games are so much fun to play Hard to just walk away from When all you want are pretty things But the price you pay is always too much I’ll never dry up these tears Cried from all the years of playing carnival games        [Verse 2] To know which way to look all the shiny lights Sign your name on the postcard of your life And everyone will say that you came and conquered Yeah you won the whole race [Pre-Chorus] But don’t mistake this for An adventure in paradise Just because the ride looks so good [Chorus] Carnival games are so much fun to play Hard to just walk away from When all you want are pretty things But the price you pay is always too much I’ll never dry up these tears Cried from all the years of playing carnival games        [Bridge] I wanna shed all of my skin Feel my blood as it tastes the wind I don’t know where to begin     [Chorus] Carnival games are so much fun to play Hard to just walk away from When all you want are pretty things But the price you pay is always too much I’ll never dry up these tears Cried from all the years of playing carnival games        [Outro] You’ll never really know what You’ll never really know what winning’s like You’ll never really know what You’ll never really know what winning’s like You’ll never really know what You’ll never really know what winning’s like You’ll never really know what You’ll never really know what winning’s like

La chanson évoque l'idée que les jeux de carnaval peuvent sembler attrayants et divertissants, mais qu'ils cachent une réalité plus sombre. Elle décrit comment, malgré les promesses de joie et de succès, l'expérience peut être éphémère et douloureuse. Le protagoniste se rend compte que, même si elle agit comme si elle remportait des récompenses, elle se retrouve finalement à pleurer sur le prix à payer pour ces illusions. Dans un contexte plus large, cette réflexion peut résonner dans nos vies modernes, où la quête de biens matériels et de plaisirs rapides peut nous laisser un sentiment de vide et de désillusion. Au fond, la chanson nous rappelle que la vraie victoire ne se trouve pas dans les choses superficielles, mais dans des expériences et des relations plus profondes.
