How the West Was Won and Where it Got Us

R.E.M.

Transposer:

(Riff 1) Blood from a stone Water from wine. Born under earplay design. A stroke of bad luck wrong place wrong time. This flyer is out of the lime. The story is a sad one told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. (Riff 1) Canary got trapped the uranium mine. A stroke of bad luck now the bird has died. a marker to mark where my tears run dry. I cross it bless it alkali. The story is a sad one told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us.

I made a mistake chalked it up to design. I cracked through time space Godless and dry. I point my nose to the northern star watch the decline from a hazy distance. The story is a sad one told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us.

Cette chanson évoque une histoire personnelle pleine de désillusions et de malheurs, où l'auteur retrace ses échecs et ses erreurs dans un monde difficile. Avec des images puissantes, il parle de la recherche de sens dans des moments d'adversité, utilisant des métaphores liées à l'eau et au citron pour symboliser le mélange des émotions et des épreuves rencontrées. Le contexte se veut une réflexion sur le passage du temps et les conséquences des choix que l'on fait. L’auteur mentionne des moments où il se sent piégé, comme ce canari symbolisant la perte et l'innocence. À travers ces paroles, on ressent une certaine mélancolie, mais aussi une prise de conscience de la complexité de la vie.
