With it is all about tone. Move the riff up the fretboard to try to get some of the licks.

La chanson nous plonge dans un univers sombre, peuplé de personnages en marge, entourés par la misère et l'absurde. On y découvre une atmosphère de défaite, où l'ivresse semble être une échappatoire, mais n'apporte qu'un sentiment d'impuissance face à une réalité chaotique. L’image du petit oiseau qui doit fuir, alors que tout s'effondre autour de lui, évoque une notion de désespoir et d'urgence. Le narrateur se trouve dans des situations étranges et tragiques, que ce soit dans un bar ou sous un ciel étoilé, entre les déboires d'un monde qui ne fait que tourner en rond. Les références à des personnages et des scènes évoquent une sorte de désillusion face à la vie, où même les gestes les plus simples se teintent de noirceur.
