Leaving New York

R.E.M.

Transposer:

It’s quiet now and what it brings is everything... comes calling back a brilliant night I’m still awake I looked ahead I’m sure I saw you there you don’t need me to tell you now that nothing can compare you might have laughed if I told you you might have hidden the frown you might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around It’s easier to leave than to be left behind leaving was never my proud leaving New York never easy I saw the life fading out now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take... the loneliness it wears me out it lies in way and on our lost till in my eyes shadow of necklace across your thigh i might have lived my life in a dream but i swear this is real Memory fuses in shatters out glass but carry your future forget the past but it’s you it’s what i feel. you might have laughed if I told you (it’s pulling me apart) you might have hidden the frown (change) you might have succeeded in changing me (it’s pulling me apart) I might have been turned around (change) It’s easier to leave than to be left behind (it’s pulling me apart) leaving was never my proud (change) leaving New York never easy (it’s pulling me apart) I saw the light fading out you find it in your heart it’s pulling me apart you find it in your heart change... i told you forever I love you forever (you find it in your heart it’s pulling me apart) i told you I love you I love you forever (you find it in your heart change) i told you forever I love you forever (you find it in your heart it’s pulling me apart) i told you I love you I love you forever (you find it in your heart change) you might have laughed if I told you (forever foreverI told You forever) you might have hidden the frown (change) you might have succeeded in changing me (it’s pulling me apart) I might have been turned around (change) It’s easier to leave than to be left behind (it’s pulling me apart) leaving was never my proud (change) leaving New York never easy (it’s pulling me apart) I saw the life fading out (change) leaving new york never easy (it’s pulling me apart) I saw the light fading out (change) Leaving new york never wasy (it’s pulling me apart) I saw the life fading out (change)

La chanson évoque un sentiment de nostalgie et de difficulté face au départ. Elle parle des souvenirs d'une belle nuit, des rencontres, mais aussi de la solitude qui accompagne le fait de quitter un lieu chargé d'émotions. L'artiste exprime que partir est souvent plus facile que d'être laissé derrière, reflet d'une lutte intérieure. Malgré le souhait de tourner la page, il lui est difficile d'oublier le passé et les liens qui s'y trouvent. Le contexte semble être celui d'un adieu à une ville, New York, symbolisant à la fois des rêves perdus et des promesses d'avenir. L'artiste oscille entre la douleur de la séparation et le désir de garder vivants ses sentiments, soulignant ainsi la complexité des relations humaines et le poids des choix que l'on doit faire.
