Penitent

Suzanne Vega

Transposer:

Once I stood alone so proud held myself above the crowd now i am low on the ground. From here i look around to see what avenues belong to me I can’t tell what ive found. Now what would You have me do i ask you please? I wait to hear. The mother and the matador the mystic all were here before like me to stare You down. You appear without a face disappear but leave your trace i feel your unseen frown. Now what would you have me do I ask you please? i wait to hear your voice the word you say i wait to see your sign would i obey? I look for you in heathered moor the desert and the ocean floor how low does one heart go. looking for your fingerprints i find them in coincidence and make my faith to grow. Forgive me all my blindnesses my weakness and unkindnesses as yet unbending still. struggling so hard to see my fist against eternity and will you break my will? Now what would you have me do i ask you please? i wait to hear your voice the word you say i wait to see your sign could i obey?

Cette chanson évoque un voyage intérieur de réflexion et de quête de sens. La narratrice s’interroge sur sa position actuelle, après avoir connu la fierté et l'assurance, maintenant confrontée à l'humilité et aux doutes. Elle cherche des indications et des réponses, implorant une présence divine, tout en reconnaissant ses faiblesses et ses manquements. Le contexte tourne autour de la recherche de valeur spirituelle et de guidance, où la lutte entre l'ego et la vulnérabilité se fait sentir. La narratrice aspire à un signe divin, désirant comprendre comment réagir face à l'inconnu, tout en témoignant d'un profond besoin de pardon et d'éclaircissement. Cette quête reflète un cheminement vers la foi et la compréhension de soi.
