#4 Les lyrics du jeudi /// Bright Eyes

Bright Eyes - Lua (from I'm Wide Awake It's Morning)

"What is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is"

Rappelez-vous...

Ces soirées parfaitement étranges pendant lesquelles nos comportements sont complètement transformés par la nuit ambiante qui nous enveloppe. Lorsque tout est possible et acceptable, parce que le noir de la nuit nous empêche de penser que le soleil se lèvera à nouveau un jour.

Supplies are endless in the evening
By the morning they'll be gone

Pensez...

A toutes les conneries que vous avez pu faire pendant ces instants voilés, brumeux.
Pensez aux rencontres, à votre état d'esprit, à ces choses que vous ne pensiez jamais faire mais qui sont arrivées, parce que la nuit vous êtes totalement différent, parce que la nuit tout est plus beau, tout est plus clair, tout est plus simple.

The mask I polish in the evening
By the morning looks like shit

C'est exactement le sujet de cette chanson. L'histoire d'une nuit. Une rencontre, une attitude, une possibilité nouvelle mais sans perspective aucune.
Vite! il faut profiter avant que tout ne s'arrête dans quelques heures! L'alcool, la folie, la débauche, les dérapages, tout va s'effacer dans la lumière du jour qui se lève.

And if you promise to stay conscious
I will try and do the same
Yeah, we might die from medication
But we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening
By the morning seems insane

Mais tout ne s'efface pas. Les souvenirs restent. Les problèmes aussi, jusqu'à devenir parfois encore plus compliqués.

Because what is simple in the moonlight
By the morning never is

Well, I know that it is freezing
But I think we'll have to walk
Keep waving at the taxis
They keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party
At some actor's West Side loft
Supplies are endless in the evening
By the morning they'll be gone

When everything is lonely
I can be my own best friend
Get a coffee and the paper
Have my own conversations
With the sidewalk and the pigeons
And my window reflection
The mask I polish in the evening
By the morning looks like shit

And I know you have a heavy heart
I can feel it when we kiss
And many men stronger than me
Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me, I'm not a gamble
You can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening
By the morning won't exist

You're looking skinny like a model
With your eyes all painted black
Keep going to the bathroom
Always say you'll be right back
Well, it takes one to know one, kid
I think you've got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening
By the morning's such a drag

I've got a flask inside my pocket
We can share it on the train
And if you promise to stay conscious
I will try and do the same
Yeah, we might die from medication
But we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening
By the morning seems insane

And I'm not sure what the trouble was
That started all of this
The reasons all have run away
But the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend
But it is one way to live
Because what is simple in the moonlight
By the morning never is

Yeah, it was simple in the moonlight
Now it's so complicated
It was so simple in the moonlight
So simple in the moonlight
So simple in the moonlight
