A Theory

Tracy Chapman

Transposer:

It's just a theory There's a possibility that I am wrong It's just a theory But I would stake my life Lay my money down That you were meant for me And for you I'm the one It's just a theory A particular set of assu-umptions It's just a theory An educated guess A conclusion not forgone That you were meant for me And for you I'm the one Oh nothing's new under the sun I will postulate Ask for your consideration Ask you out on a date Although it can't be sure Why not act on a hunch Oh why not search for proof Why not go out for lunch And in theory I could propose And in theory you could affirm Oh that you were meant for me And for you I'm the one Oh that you were meant for me And for you I'm the one It's just a theory A series of tests should be run It's just a theory Although not fully assessed An idea whose time has come That you were meant for me And for you I'm the one That you were meant for me And for you I'm the one

La chanson évoque l’idée d’une connexion spéciale entre deux personnes, suggérant que, même si tout cela n'est qu'une hypothèse, il y a une grande part de certitude dans leur lien. L’artiste parle de la possibilité, parfois incertaine, que cette relation soit destinée, tout en proposant d’explorer cette affinité à travers des rencontres et des moments partagés. Le thème central tourne autour de la décision de prendre des risques en amour, même sans garantie, en osant faire un pas pour découvrir si cette intuition est fondée. C'est un appel à agir sur ses sentiments plutôt que de rester dans l'incertitude.
