Final Straw

R.E.M.

Transposer:

As I raise my head to broadcast my objection As your latest triumph draws the final straw Who died and lifted you up to perfection? And what silenced me is written into law. I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me And I turn my head away If I look I'm not sure that I could face you. Not again. Not today. Not today. If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected There's a voice in me that says you will not win. And if I ignore the voice inside Raise a half glass to my home. But it's there that I am most afraid And forgetting doesn't hold. it doesn't hold. Now I don't believe and I never did That two wrongs make a right. If the world were filled with the likes of you Then I'm putting up a fight. I'm putting up a fight. Putting up a fight. make it right. make it right. Now love cannot be called into question. Forgiveness is the only hope I hold. And love love will be my strongest weapon. I do believe that I am not alone. For this fear will not destroy me. And the tears that have been shed It's knowing now where I am weakest And the voice in my head. in my head. Then I raise my voice up higher And I look you in the eye And I offer love with one condition. With conviction tell me why. Tell me why. Tell me why. Look me in the eye. Tell me why.

La chanson évoque une lutte intérieure face à l'injustice et à la douleur causée par autrui. Le chanteur exprime son indignation face à ceux qui se croient au-dessus des autres et se demandent comment une telle arrogance peut exister. Il ressent un profond désespoir, mais aussi une résistance face à la tentation de répondre à la haine par la haine. Ce combat personnel lui rappelle l'importance du pardon et de l'amour, qui deviennent ses armes contre l’adversité. Dans un monde rempli de conflits, il affirme que même si l’entourage peut sembler hostile, il puise sa force dans la conviction que l’amour est essentiel. À travers ses doutes et ses inquiétudes, il choisit de rester ferme et de défendre ses valeurs, cherchant une connexion authentique pour surmonter les malentendus et les douleurs. C’est un appel à la réflexion et à la compréhension, malgré les difficultés.
