Paralysed

Travis

Transposer:

[Intro] 2x Oh-oh-oh-oh [Verse] Looking at my window I can see the light All the pretty people Turning inside out Watching television every single night And when you twitter your opinion Oh it feels so right [Chorus] Wanna run wanna run but I’m paralysed And the river running through me Is as cold as ice It’s alright it’s alright till you realise That every memory is like a Weight around your feet [Verse] But I’m still looking at the window Trying to be someone All the pretty people Eyes like valium Preening for the screen like a Kardashian And do you ever get the feeling You’re the only one [Chorus] Wanna run wanna run but I’m paralysed And the river running through me Is as cold as ice It’s alright it’s alright till you realise That every memory is like a Weight around your feet It goes around around Like dirty laundry Spins around round We are never free But I will rise I will rise Look you in the eye And remember how it feels to be alive When we were free Not paralysed Apparently paralysed Apparently paralysed Apparently paralysed

La chanson évoque un sentiment de paralysie intérieure, où l'artiste se sent bloqué malgré le désir de s'échapper. Il observe les autres, souvent superficiels et absorbés par les réseaux sociaux, tout en se rendant compte que chaque souvenir pèse lourdement sur ses épaules. Les images de vie et de liberté semblent lointaines, comme une lutte entre le désir d'être vraiment vivant et la sensation d'être emprisonné par ses pensées et ses expériences passées. Au fil des paroles, on ressent une tension entre la souffrance et le souhait de se libérer. Ce contraste illustre bien notre époque, où l'on peut se sentir isolé malgré l'illusion de connexion.
