Toe to Toe

Streetlight Manifesto

Transposer:

Someday you will grow up and learn to lie Just like your daddy did when he told you no one ever really dies I hope that I'm not there when you realize That those with their nose in the air will never look you in the eye And you will go toe to toe Like David and Goliath Who will be Goliath? And will you throw the stone? I don't know yeah I don't know Said the man with all of the answers If he don't have the answers How will I ever know? I knew an old man with nothing to do but wait He invited himself and he still showed up late When it came to the end of the night He would always overstay but I never had a reason to complain Until the day he stopped coming by and I missed his company And you will go toe to toe Like David and Goliath Who will be Goliath? And will you throw the stone? I don't know yeah I don't know Said the man with all of the answers If he don't have the answers How will I ever know? And I don't care What you do...oo with the little time everyone gets As long as yooooou do the math, choose a path That will never hurt anyone else Although they'll hurt you make them sure they burned you They will not forge...eee...eee...eee...eet (2x) Someday I will find you and stop on by And you'll say how have you been, and I'll say I've been fine We will both know that it's a lie Turns out what I figured out is I was wrong and you were right And you will go toe to toe Like David and Goliath Who will be Goliath? And will you throw the stone? I don't know yeah I don't know Said the man with all of the answers If he don't have the answers How will I ever know?

La chanson aborde le thème de la vie et des illusions qui l'accompagnent, en évoquant la nécessité de grandir et d'affronter la réalité. Elle souligne les mensonges que l'on nous enseigne, comme celui de l'immortalité, tout en posant des questions sur nos choix et la lutte entre faiblesse et puissance, à l'image de David et Goliath. Le protagoniste se questionne sur la façon de naviguer dans un monde où les apparences peuvent être trompeuses et où la vérité est souvent masquée. Dans un registre plus personnel, on ressent une nostalgie face à des relations qui ont évolué avec le temps, marquées par des visites qui s'espacent et des promesses de retrouvailles. Ce mélange de réflexions sur la vie, les attentes déçues et le passage du temps crée un tableau à la fois introspectif et partagé.
