Dead Sea (acoustic)

The Lumineers

Transposer:

Intro: Verse: I stood alone upon the platform in vain Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain With open doors and manual locks In fast food parking lots Pre-chorus: I headed West I was a man on the move New York had lied to me I needed the truth Oh I need somebody needed someone I could trust I don’t gamble but if I did I would bet on us Like the Dead Sea You told me I was like the Dead Sea                            () You’ll never sink when you are with me Oh Lord like the Dead Sea Whoa I’m like the Dead Sea The nicest words you ever said to me                 () Honey can’t you see I was born to be be your Dead Sea Verse:                                  You told me you were good at running away Domestic life it never suited you like a suitcase You left with just the clothes on your back You took the rest when you took the map Pre-chorus:                             Yes there are times we live for somebody else Your father died and you decided to live         It for yourself you felt you just felt it was time And I’m glad cause you with cats that’s just not right Like the Dead Sea You told me I was like the Dead Sea                            () You’ll never sink when you are with me Oh Lord like the Dead Sea Whoa I’m like the Dead Sea The nicest words you ever said to me                 () Honey can’t you see I was born to be be your Dead Sea Bridge:                                 I been down I been defeated     You’re the message I was heeding    Would you stay Would you stay the night? Like the Dead Sea You told me I was like the Dead Sea                            () You’ll never sink when you are with me Oh Lord like the Dead Sea Whoa I’m like the Dead Sea The nicest words you ever said to me                 () Honey can’t you see I was born to be be your Dead Sea

La chanson évoque un voyage personnel et émotionnel, où le narrateur se sent perdu et cherche la vérité malgré les illusions de la grande ville. Il exprime son besoin de confiance et d’authenticité dans une relation, s’identifiant à la mer Morte, symbolisant à la fois stabilité et profondeur émotionnelle. Le récit aborde aussi des thèmes de fuite, de nouveaux départs et d’une quête de soi, tout en décrivant une connexion forte avec l’autre, un désir de rester ensemble malgré les défis. Le contexte reflète une lutte interne, le besoin de se reconstruire après des pertes et des désillusions. Il se questionne sur son rôle et son identité dans cette relation, tout en montrant que malgré les turbulences de la vie, une personne spéciale peut apporter du réconfort et une lumière dans l’obscurité.
