Room Off The Street

Suzanne Vega

Transposer:

Intro:       Verse 1: Somewhere in a room With a poster on a wall Of a man with his hand In a fist Is a woman who’s drinking And her dress is so tight You can see every breath That she takes Every sigh every sway You can hear everything that they say Something’s begun like a war Or a family or a friendship Or a fast love affair Verse 2: The man on the wall Is his symbol of freedom It means he has brothers Who believe as he does She is moved by The thing that she sees in his face When he talks of The cause Every sigh every sway You can hear everything that they say Something’s begun like a war Or a family or a friendship Or a fast love affair Every sigh every sway You can hear everything that they say Something’s begun like a war Or a family or a friendship Or a fast love affair Verse 3: She leans against him Her dress is so red They talk of the salt And the truth and the bread The night goes along The fan goes around In the room off the street At the end of the town Every sigh every sway You can hear everything that they say Something’s begun like a war Or a family or a friendship Or a fast love affair Outro      (x4) oooohhhh

La chanson évoque une scène intime dans une pièce où une femme, vêtue d'une robe moulante, se trouve face à un poster d'un homme qui symbolise la liberté. Cet homme représente un idéal pour elle, et au fur et à mesure qu'ils échangent, une connexion se tisse. Ils parlent de sujets profonds comme la vérité et les luttes qui les unissent, tandis que l'atmosphère devient chargée d'émotions, évoquant des thèmes de guerre, d'amitié ou d'amour fugace. Le cadre de ce moment, au bout de la ville, donne une sensation de retrait du monde, où les mots prennent toute leur ampleur.
