Gimme Shelter

The Rolling Stones

Transposer:

(6x) Oh, a storm is threat'ning My very life today If I don't get some shelter Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Ooh, see the fire is sweepin' My very street today Burns like a red coal carpet Mad bull lost its way War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder! It's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder! It's just a shot away It's just a shot away The floods is threat'ning My very life today Gimme, gimme shelter Or I'm gonna fade away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away It's just a shot away It's just a shot away It's just a shot away I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away Kiss away, kiss away ...

Cette chanson évoque la menace constante de la violence et des conflits qui pèsent sur notre existence. Elle décrit un monde agité, où la guerre et la destruction semblent à portée de tir, mettant en lumière l'urgence d'un refuge face à ces dangers. Les images de cataclysmes, que ce soit à travers des flammes ou des inondations, renforcent le sentiment d'impuissance et d'angoisse. Le contexte dans lequel cette œuvre a émergé est celui des turbulences sociales et politiques des années 60. Les luttes pour les droits civiques, la guerre du Vietnam, et d'autres violences contemporaines ont profondément marqué cette période, et c'est cette réalité qui résonne dans les mots et l'énergie de la chanson.
