You Know Where You Went Wrong

Pet Shop Boys

Transposer:

Two men on the street drinking something cheap No home no family It’s cold nowhere to sleep Passers-by never catch their eye anywhere One man drinks the other swears You know where you went wrong You know where you went wrong you know You know where you went wrong You know where you went wrong you know The old man can’t understand No one will shake his hand ’I gave security bombs and colour TV It cost a few lives - someone’s son always dies’ No one shakes his hand/ He don’t understand You know where you went wrong You know where you went wrong you know You know where you went wrong You know where you went wrong you know This is the history of the world of every boy and every girl who don’t understand what’s going on any more The history of the world of every boy and every girl who don’t understand what’s going on any more Two girls with a photograph One looks the other laughs ’He could have been mine Why did I change my mind?’ Then hands on hips the other girl says ’Admit admit’ You know where you went wrong You know where you went wrong you know You know where you went wrong You know where you went wrong you know This is the history of the world of every boy and every girl who don’t understand what’s going on any more The history of the world of every boy and every girl who don’t understand what’s going on any more You know where you went wrong You know where you went wrong you know You know where you went wrong You know where you went wrong you know

La chanson aborde le thème de la désillusion et des conséquences des choix faits par les individus. On y découvre des personnages solitaires, perdus dans les rues, confrontés à une réalité dure et froide, sans foyer ni soutien. Les paroles évoquent également des regrets, comme celui d’un ancien soldat incapable de saisir pourquoi personne ne reconnaît ses sacrifices. L'idée centrale est que chacun est confronté aux résultats de ses actions ou de ses pensées, qu'ils soient négatifs ou désabusés. Dans un cadre plus large, cette œuvre reflète les frustrations de la société contemporaine, où les jeunes, tout comme les adultes, se sentent perdus et déconnectés des événements qui les entourent. Elle rappelle que l’histoire personnelle de chacun est souvent marquée par des choix malheureux, laissant place à une profonde introspection sur la nature humaine et ses erreurs.
