Let Down Your Guard

The Courteeners

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] With your legs a-kimbo Like a giant V sign But your heads still buried in the sand ’Cause you’re too shit scared to let down your guard [Verse 2] And so the cuffs are clinking As you’re lying on your back wondering what’s he thinking And so you bite the pillow and swallow your pride Taking this new love stick all in your stride [Chorus] Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand [Instrumental] [Verse 3] And so she builds a barrier between her love And throws it in a carrier Like a gravity wheel she launches it round She gets tired she lets go and watches it fall to the ground [Chorus] Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard    [Refrain] She never got along with commitment She’ll try and ride it out before she’s trying to hit them Where it hurts the most Oh she puts him down and moves onto the next one Oh she puts him down and moves onto the next one Oh she puts him down and moves onto the next one [Instrumental] [Chorus] Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand Let down your guard and hold his hand You’re trying to ignore it You’re trying to back-door it again [Outro] [x2]

La chanson évoque les difficultés de s'ouvrir à l'amour et de laisser ses défenses de côté. Elle parle d'une personne qui, malgré une attirance intense, reste paralysée par la peur de s'engager. Les images de barrières émotionnelles et de luttes internes montrent combien il est compliqué de se laisser aller et de se montrer vulnérable, même lorsqu'on désire une connexion authentique. Dans un contexte où les relations modernes peuvent être superficielles et marquées par l'hésitation, les paroles illustrent ce combat intérieur entre la volonté d'aimer et la réticence à se laisser toucher. C'est un appel à abandonner cette attitude défensive en tendant simplement la main à l'autre, tout en naviguant à travers les doutes et les incertitudes.
