Ace in the Hole

Paul Simon

Transposer:

Some people say Jesus that's the ace in the hole But I never met the man so I don't really know Maybe some Christmas if I'm sick and alone He will look up my number Two hundred dollars that's my ace in the hole When I'm down dirty and desperate that's my emergency bank roll I got two hundred dollars that's the price on the street If you wanna get some quality Was that I knew that I was crazy So I never lost my self-control I just walk in the middle of the road I sleep in the middle of the bed I stop in the middle of a sentence Ace in the hole Lean on me Don't you know me? I'm your guarantee Riding on this rolling bus Beneath a stony sky With a slow moon rising And the smokestacks drifting by In the hour when the heart is weakest And memory is strong When time has stopped and the bus just rolls along Roll on roll on Roll on roll on Roll on roll on Some people say music that's their ace in the hole Just your ordinary rhythm and blues Your basic rock and roll You can sit on the top of the beat; you can lean on the side of the beat You can hang from the bottom of the beat But you got to admit that the music is sweet Where you been so long? Don't you know me? I'm your ace in the hole oh yeah Ace in the hole Lean on me Don't you know me? I'm your guarantee

La chanson évoque des réflexions sur la manière dont les gens trouvent du soutien et de la réassurance dans des moments difficiles. L'idée de compter sur quelque chose ou quelqu'un, que ce soit la foi, l'argent ou la musique, traverse les paroles. Il y a une recherche de sens et de sécurité dans un monde souvent imprévisible, et chaque individu a sa propre "carte maîtresse" pour affronter les épreuves. Le contexte semble être celui d'une introspection personnelle, où le narrateur s'interroge sur ses propres ressources et sur ce qui lui permet de tenir bon. Dans un trajet symbolique, il se confronte à la mémoire, aux souvenirs, et à cette quête d’un ancrage stable dans la turbulence de la vie. Des thèmes universels comme la solitude, le besoin de contact humain et la beauté de la musique viennent enrichir cette réflexion.
