Left For Denver

The Lumineers

Transposer:

Verse 1: What time was it When you were only 18 years old? You crossed the street you crossed your legs You came across a little cold And it was all it was all Falling apart (falling apart) Verse 2: What time what time was it When you were in the eighth grade You brought the box up to the high school You spiked the Gatorade And it was all for for a weekend And it was all all still falling apart I didn’t say you’d be better off if you quit Everyone left as you held on longer than the rest What made you leave? And when you did you left for Denver Why? What did you know that I did not? That I did not? Verse 3: Oh is it one or is it two Or is it three kids now? They mark the time they draw the lines Around your eyelids now And is it all still for the weekend? Is it all all still falling apart? I didn’t say you’d be better off if you quit Everyone left as you held on longer than the rest What made you leave? And when you did you left for Denver Why? What did you know that I did not? That I did not?

La chanson évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques de la jeunesse, marqués par des moments de désillusion et de mélancolie. On y parle d'une personne qui, face aux aléas de la vie, a dû faire des choix difficiles, comme quitter son entourage pour trouver sa voie ailleurs, en l'occurrence à Denver. Les références à l'âge des protagonistes montrent un passage du temps et les responsabilités qui en découlent, tout en soulignant le sentiment que tout semble se défaire avec le temps. Le récit tourne autour des relations, de l’amitié et des décisions qui affectent notre cheminement. La question récurrente sur ce qui a poussé cette personne à partir révèle une curiosité sur ce qui motive nos choix dans la vie. Il y a une quête de compréhension, non seulement des décisions des autres, mais aussi de la manière dont nos vies peuvent changer et se compliquer au fil des ans.
