Remember the Tinman

Tracy Chapman

Transposer:

There are locks on the doors And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside  There's a gate and a fence And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside Who stole your heart left you with a space That no one and nothing can fill Who stole your heart who took it away Knowing that without it you can't live Who took away the part so essential to the whole Left you a hollow body Skin and bone What robber what thief who stole your heart and the key        Who stole your heart The smile from your face The innocence the light from your eyes Who stole your heart or did you give it away And if so then when and why Who took away the part so essential to the whole Left you a hollow body Skin and bone What robber what thief Who stole your heart and the key Now all sentiment is gone        Now you have no trust in no one       Who stole your heart Did you know but forget the method and moment in time Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand       A strong elixir or a potion that you drank        Who hurt your heart Bruised it in a place That no one and nothing can heal You've gone to wizards princes and magic men       You've gone to witches the good the bad the indifferent       But still all sentiment is gone       But still you have no trust in no one       If you can tear down the walls Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay And don't forget that you defend an empty space And remember the tinman Found he had what he thought he lacked       Remember the tinman Go find your heart and take it back       Who stole your heart Maybe no one can say One day you will find it I pray

Cette chanson évoque la douleur de la perte et la quête d’un cœur volé, symbolisant la vulnérabilité humaine face aux trahisons et aux déceptions. Elle présente un tableau où les murs et les verrous représentent une protection futile contre des blessures émotionnelles profondes. L’absence de confiance et de lumière dans les yeux de celle qui chante illustre une solitude pesante et un sentiment de vide qui semble insurmontable. Le message se concentre sur l’importance de retrouver ce qui a été perdu, et invite à abattre les barrières que l’on s’est inconsciemment créées. En évoquant des personnages comme le bidon d’étain, la chanson rappelle que, même dans la douleur, il est possible de retrouver son cœur et de rétablir la lumière perdue, avec l’espoir que la guérison et la reconnexion peuvent advenir.
