Words and Music by Graham Nash and Shane Fontayne from Graham Nash’s 2016 album "This Path Tonight." [Intro]   Csus4     Csus4 [Verse 1] Through the cracks in the city I can see the sad traces Of yesterday’s empires With tomorrow’s bad dreams They’ll come back to haunt us Like the gaze in a mirror Reflecting mistakes that we took to extremes Oh           [Chorus] The cracks in the city Will trap us and trip us Making us fall to the ground that we love And through the cracks in the city I can hear voices calling Taking us all from below to above To above             [Verse 2] So I will follow this path That my life lays before me That yesterday’s hero Never dared to dream About the stories and tales All the long hidden memories That sound like the echoes Of a tale told between Oh           [Chorus] Between the cracks in the city That will trap us and trip us Making us fall to the ground that we love And through the cracks in the city I can hear voices calling Taking us all from below to above To above             [Interlude]               [Verse 3] The search for oblivion Starts out in the daylight Listening to people All trying to be first But dreaming in darkness Will offer no solace When all the king’s horses Are dying of thirst Oh          Oh       [Chorus] The cracks in the city That will trap us and trip us Making us fall to the ground that we love And through the cracks in the city I can hear voices calling Taking us all from below to above To above [Outro]   Esus

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les fissures de la ville, qui symbolisent les regrets et les illusions du passé. À travers ces imperfections, on perçoit les échos des empires d’hier et les rêves troublants de demain, rappelant que nos erreurs continuent à nous hanter. Malgré cela, il y a une lueur d'espoir, avec des voix qui émergent du chaos, nous poussant à suivre notre propre chemin et à découvrir des histoires oubliées. Dans un contexte contemporain, cette œuvre peut résonner avec la lutte pour trouver sa place dans un monde en mutation, tout en faisant face aux vestiges de ce que nous avons laissé derrière nous. Les thèmes de l’identité et de la quête de sens sont universels, et chacun peut y voir un reflet de sa propre expérience.
