Accept Yourself

The Smiths

Transposer:

Every day you must say So how do I feel about my life? Anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes When will you accept yourself? I am sick and I am dull and I am plain How dearly I’d love to get carried away Oh but dreams have a knack of just not coming true And time is against me now oh Oh who and what to blame? Oh anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes When will you accept yourself for heaven’s sake? Anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes Every day you must say Oh how do I feel about the past? Others conquered love but I ran I sat in my room and I drew up a plan Oh but plans can fall through as so often they do And time is against me now And there’s no one left to blame Oh tell me when will you When will you accept your life? The one that you hate For anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes Every day you must say Oh how do I feel about my shoes? They make me awkward and plain How dearly I would love to kick with the fray But I once had a dream and it never came true And time is against me now time is against me now And there’s no one but yourself to blame Oh anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes Anything is hard to find for heaven’s sake Anything is hard to find When you will not open your eyes When will you accept yourself? A (repeated) When when when when?

Cette chanson explore la lutte intérieure de l'individu face à son identité et à sa vision de la vie. Elle pose la question essentielle de l'acceptation de soi, en mettant en lumière les difficultés que l'on éprouve à reconnaître sa propre valeur et à surmonter les échecs et les déceptions. L'artiste évoque un sentiment de désespoir et de stagnation, soulignant que tant que l'on ne sera pas capable de voir ses propres qualités, il sera difficile de trouver sa place dans le monde. Le contexte semble être celui d'une introspection profonde, où l'on se remémore des choix passés, des rêves non réalisés et un sentiment d'isolement. On ressent cette tension entre le désir de changement et la réalité qui pèse sur l'individu, ce qui rend l'acceptation de soi encore plus urgente et nécessaire. On perçoit ici une réflexion sur les luttes personnelles que chacun peut traverser et l'importance de faire le premier pas pour enfin se libérer de ses propres chaînes.
