Down Boys

The Cars

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] You were tryin’ to be cute And it didn’t work out You were tryin’ to be charming And it didn’t come off You were tryin’ to be clever A big waste of time You were tryin’ to get rough But you’re waiting in line [Chorus] You can’t make it with the down boys They don’t hear a word you say You can’t make it with the down boys Uh just stay out of their way [Verse 2] You were trying to be sharp But they couldn’t wait You were trying to be eternal But uh that didn’t rate You were tryin’ to be smooth You’re rough on the edges You were tryin’ to be hysterical And I still ain’t laughin’ [Chorus] You can’t make it with the down boys Uh they don’t hear a word you say You can’t make it with the down boys Just stay out of their way [Solo] [Verse 3] You were tryin’ to be in But they left you out (yelp?) You were tryin’ to be in Two different worlds You were tryin’ to be in Oscillation in shame You were tryin’ to be in But you’re lost in the game [Chorus] You can’t make it with the down boys They don’t hear a word you say You can’t make it with the down boys Uh just stay out of their way Stay out of their way Out of their way [Outro] You can’t make it with the down boys Uh they don’t hear a word you say You can’t make it with the down boys Just stay out of their way

La chanson évoque le désespoir d’une personne qui essaie de se faire une place parmi un groupe qui ne prête aucune attention à ses efforts. Malgré ses tentatives d’être charmante ou amusante, elle se heurte à une réalité où ses efforts sont ignorés, et elle se retrouve déconnectée des autres. L'atmosphère est teintée de frustration, car elle réalise qu'elle ne peut pas s'intégrer et qu'il vaut mieux rester à distance de ces "garçons perdus". On peut imaginer que cette situation résume les difficultés que certaines personnes éprouvent dans leurs relations sociales, où elles se battent pour se faire entendre sans succès. Cela pourrait toucher n'importe qui ayant déjà ressenti ce sentiment d'exclusion ou d'impuissance face aux dynamiques de groupe.
