This One's From the Heart

Tom Waits

Transposer:

(x2) I should go out and honk the horn It's Independence Day But instead I just pour myself a drink It's got to be love, I've never felt this way Oh baby, This one's from the heart The shadows on the wall look like a railroad track I wonder if he's ever comin' back The moon's a yellow stain across the sky Oh baby, This one's from the heart And I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form But I should probably wait here by the phone And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible Oh baby, This one's from the heart The worm is climbin' the avocado tree Rubbin' its back against the wall Pour myself a double sympathy Oh baby, This one's from the heart Blondes, brunettes, and redheads put their hammer down Don't pound a cold chisel through my heart But they were nothin' but apostrophes Oh baby, This one's from the heart I can't tell, is that a siren or a saxophone But the roads get so slippery when it rains I love you more than all these words can ever say Oh baby, This one's from the heart (x2) (ad lib)

La chanson évoque une mélancolie profonde et un sentiment d’amour sincère. Le narrateur hésite entre célébrer la fête de l'Indépendance et se complaire dans ses réflexions solitaires, illustrant une lutte intérieure entre l’espoir et la désillusion. Les images de la nuit, comme la lune et les ombres, créent une atmosphère de nostalgie, tandis que les références aux petites choses du quotidien, comme attendre un appel, illustrent l’attente et la quête de connexion. On sent un mélange d’amour et de tristesse, accompagné de pensées sur des relations passées qui semblent superficielles. Ce moment de vulnérabilité suggère que, malgré les imprévus et la complexité de la vie, l’amour demeure au centre des préoccupations et des émotions du narrateur.
