ARTIST: Andrew Bird SONG:   Greenwine ALBUM:  HARK! [Intro]              [Verse] I had nothing to say on Christmas day When you threw all your clothes in the snow When you burnt your hair and you knocked over chairs I just tried to stay out of your way [Chorus] But when you fell asleep With blood on your teeth I just got in my car and drove away Listen to me butterfly You know there’s only so much wine That you can drink in one life But it will never be enough To save you from The bottom of your glass [Instrumental]                                                               [Verse 2] Where the state highway starts I stopped my car I get out to stare up at the stars And as meteors died And shot across the sky I just thought about your sad shining eyes [Chorus 2] But when I went back for my clothes when the sun finally rose Oh and you were still passed out on the floor Listen to me butterfly no You know there’s only so much wine That you can drink in one life But it will never be enough To save you from The bottom of your glass [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque des moments difficiles, notamment une scène de chaos lors d'un Noël, où les tensions et les comportements autodestructeurs prennent le dessus. L'artiste se retrouve en spectateur impuissant face à la détresse de l'autre, tout en réalisant que l'alcool ne pourra jamais guérir leurs blessures. Les images des étoiles filantes symbolisent des espoirs éphémères, tandis que le protagoniste revient pour récupérer ses affaires, découvrant l'état de l'autre telle une réalité triste et inévitable. Dans cet univers, le vin devient une métaphore des limites humaines face à la souffrance.
