Ladder Of Success

Skeeter Davis

Transposer:

SKEETER DAVIS - Ladder Of Success From the Album "Let Me Get Close to You (RCA Victor) (1964) (Keith Colley - Nancie Mantz - tabbed by M. Otai) Nothing can stop him now no one can top him now I guess I’ll have to let him go Up up up the ladder of success (up up up up.) Once he let me share his dreams But now that they come true it seems He doesn’t want my love I guess look there goes my happiness They’re climbin’ up up up the ladder of success (The ladder of success.) Things are like he said they’d be I thought his plans included me He forgot his words of love fame is all he’s thinking of A going up up up up the ladder of success (The ladder of success.) I liked him better in his white dungarees When he was all mine with patches on his knees (With patches on his knees) When his name went up in lights All I got were lonely nights. He doesn’t want my love I guess Look there goes my happiness A goin’ up up up up the ladder of success (Climbin’ up whoa whoa whoa whoa...)

Cette chanson évoque la tristesse et le désespoir d'une personne qui voit son partenaire grimper les échelons du succès, tandis qu'elle se sent laissée pour compte. Au début, il partageait ses rêves avec elle, mais une fois que la célébrité arrive, il semble oublier leurs promesses d'amour, se concentrant seulement sur sa carrière. Le contexte se situe dans les années 60, une époque où la quête de succès et de reconnaissance était souvent privilégiée, parfois au détriment des relations personnelles. Cela soulève une réflexion sur les sacrifices que l'on fait pour atteindre ses objectifs et les conséquences sur ceux qui nous entourent.
