The Chamber of 32 Doors Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Cory, March 2012 ([email protected]) | 1 2 + 3 4 5 | | #/ | | | | | | | | % | | 1 2 + 3 4 + 5 | | #/ #/ | | / | At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people, -4------------4------------| -4------------4------------| -5------------3------------| -6------------| -6------------| -4------------4------------| running around to all the doors. -4------------| -5------------4------5------------| -6------------6------6------------| -6------------6------6------------| -4------------4------4------------| ------------| They try to find, find themselves an audience; their deductions need applause. -----------------------------------------------------| -9-----9-----9-----7-----7-----7----4-----7-----6----| -9-----8-----7-----6-----6-----5----5-----6-----6----| -11----10----9-----8-----7-----7----6-----6-----6----| -11----11----8-----9-----0-----0----6-----4-----4----| -9-----8-----7-----6------------4------------| The rich man stands in front of me, The poor man behind my back. They believe they can control the game, but the juggler holds another pack. -------- I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. I' rather trust countryman than townman, You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can, He'll smile through his guard, Survi- val trains hard. I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands, He looks at you once, you know he understands, Don't need any shield, When you're out in the field. -------- | 1 2 + 3 4 5 | but down... | | | | | | | | | % | | 1 2 + 3 4 + 5 | | #/ #/ | | / | But down here, I'm so alone with my fear, With everything that I hear. And every single door That I've walked through #/ #/ Brings me back, back here again, I've got to find my own way. -------- The priest and the magician, Dbm sus2 Dbm Singing all the chants that they have ever heard; and they're all calling out my name, Dbm sus2 Dbm Even academics, searching printed word. My father to the left of me, My mother to the right, Like everyone else they're pointing But nowhere feels quite right. -------- I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. I need someone to believe in, some one to trust. I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found, There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound. If I choose a side, He won't take me for a ride. -------- Back inside This chamber of so many doors; I've nowhere, nowhere to hide. I'd give you all of my dreams If you'd help me, Find a door That doesn't lead me back again take me away.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la quête d'identité et de sens dans un monde où les individus se précipitent vers des choix sans vraiment se connaître eux-mêmes. Elle décrit un lieu rempli de portes, symbolisant les différentes directions et opportunités, mais aussi la confusion et le sentiment d'isolement de l'auteur. En même temps, il ressent la pression des attentes familiales et sociales, cherchant à établir des connexions authentiques dans un environnement chaotique. Dans un contexte plus large, la chanson peut illustrer l'angoisse existentielle que beaucoup ressentent face aux décisions de la vie, aux fausses certitudes, et à la difficulté de trouver sa place parmi les exigences du monde extérieur. Elle met en lumière ce conflit entre les valeurs personnelles et les influences extérieures, tout en aspirant à une véritable confiance en soi et à des relations sincères.
