Whats the Frequency Kenneth

R.E.M.

Transposer:

| | | | | "What's the frequency Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine uh-huh            I was brain-dead locked out numb not up to speed              I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen I never understood the frequency uh-huh          You wore our expectations like an armored suit uh-huh               I'd studied your cartoons radio music tv movies magazines Richard said "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy" A smile like the cartoon tooth for a tooth You said that irony was the shackles of youth You wore a shirt of violent green uh-huh           I never understood the frequency uh-huh             (x3)        "What's the frequency Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine uh-huh Butterfly decal rearview mirror dogging the scene You smile like the cartoon tooth for a tooth You said that irony was the shackles of youth You wore a shirt of violent green uh-huh              I never understood the frequency uh-huh               You wore our expectations like an armored suit uh-huh    I couldn't understand You said that irony was the shackles of youth uh-huh     I couldn't understand You wore a shirt of violent green uh-huh      I couldn't understand I never understood don't fuck with me uh-huh

Cette chanson évoque un sentiment de confusion et d'aliénation, où l'interlocuteur semble perdu dans un monde saturé d'informations et de symboles. L'idée de ne pas saisir le sens derrière les apparences est omniprésente, illustrée par des références à des attentes sociétales et à une lutte contre l'ironie de la jeunesse. Le contexte général de l'œuvre tourne autour des défis et des frustrations que peuvent ressentir les gens face aux pressions de la société moderne, ainsi qu’à la complexité de l'identité personnelle. Les références à la culture populaire et les éléments de critique sociale soulignent cette quête de compréhension dans un monde souvent déconcertant.
