A Better Bridge

Thrice

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] It’s so hard to understand just where you’re coming from To try to see things from a different point of view Trying not to pigeonhole or simply write you off But it’s so much simpler if the parody is true Yeah it’s so easy to believe it’s really you [Chorus] But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative That anyone who doesn’t run with me is a fool And I believe together we can build a better bridge That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you [Verse 2] Sick of towing party lines across the great divide Sick of human hearts reduced to red or blue Still often times my thoughts of you are cardboard cutout lies It’s so much simpler if the parody is true Yeah it’s so easy to believe it’s really you Yeah it’s so easy to believe it’s really you [Chorus] But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative That anyone who doesn’t run with me is a fool And I believe together we can build a better bridge That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you [Bridge] Why’s it so hard to just remember That you have past face heart name? Oh it’s so hard to just remember yeah That we are less different than we are the same But I have to try [Chorus] But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative That anyone who doesn’t run with me is a fool And I believe together we can build a better bridge That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you (2x)

Cette chanson aborde la difficulté de comprendre les autres et de voir les choses sous un angle différent. Elle évoque le désir de dépasser les clivages et d’éviter de réduire les individus à des stéréotypes. Au lieu de considérer ceux qui pensent différemment comme des ennemis, l'artiste exprime sa volonté de bâtir des ponts, de créer des liens qui unissent plutôt que de diviser, en soulignant que nous avons plus de points communs que d'écarts. Le contexte pourrait être celui d'une époque où les divisions politiques et sociales sont plus visibles que jamais, où il est trop facile de mépriser ceux qui ne partagent pas nos opinions. Un appel à l’unité et à la compréhension résonne clairement, nous incitant à voir derrière les façades et à reconnaître l’humanité qui nous relie tous.
