Blue Flashing Light

Travis

Transposer:

Saturday evening at quarter to five I would see him arrive at the door Pushed you aside as he stagered inside spilling alcohol over the floor A storm is a brew it is sure to fall soon as I look at you from ashore So you’d better hold on ’cos it’s saturday night and your friends are all out and you feel like shit ’cos they never called you no they never called you no they never called never called Never bloody ever Call me a name and i’ll hit you again you’re a slut you’re a bitch you’re a hore talk to your dad in that tone of voice there’s a belt hanging over the door so you run to your room and you hide in your room thinking how you could settle the score Chorus * 1 The blue flashing light last saturday night brought the neighbours all out on the street they watched as the fireman carried you out and they stared at each others feet everyone sees yet nobody says are you all just afraid of the heat but it’s saturday night and i’m lying alone and the bed that i made disconnected the phone still they never call you no they never call you no they never call never call Never bloody ever call

La chanson évoque une soirée de samedi où une tension palpable règne. On décrit des scènes de désespoir et de solitude, où quelqu'un fait face à des comportements irresponsables de son entourage, et la violence qui en découle. Les interactions compliquées avec des proches et le sentiment d'abandon sont soulignés, alors que l'absence de soutien se fait cruellement sentir. Le contexte renvoie à une ambiance de fête qui dérape, entre l'ivresse et les conflits familiaux, où chacun reste spectateur des souffrances de l'autre sans oser intervenir. Tout cela se passe dans une atmosphère pesante, où les conséquences des actes des uns touchent inévitablement les autres.
