[Verse 1] I’m thinking what I’m doing   I’m thinking what I’ve done I’m thinking ’bout my mother Who never thought I’d come Quite this far from nowhere To hear myself be sung But I still haven’t forgotten I used to do it just for fun [Chorus] When all the ones around me Would wonder if they saw Or heard me singing somewhere Tuning my guitar [Verse 2] Knock once I got ten minutes   And every night’s the same Sometimes I wish I wasn’t in it   When I hear them call my name Same people all around me And I wonder who they are I know they’re not my family And they’re not my friends by far [Chorus] They’re all the ones around me I wonder who they are They hide behind my curtain And they hope I’ll be a star [Verse 3] An’ they say "Get out and sell them" But selling’s not my aim I’m gonna sing the life I’m living And try to ease the pain [Chorus] Of all the ones around me No matter who you are You hide and you look uncertain But you hope - hope I’ll be a star And all the ones all around me I don’t care who you are Tonight you’re gonna hold the curtain I’m tuning my guitar...             [Bridge] All the ones... All the ones around me [Chorus] Who do you think that you are Tonight you’re gonna hold the curtain I’m tuning my guitar All the ones around me I don’t care who you are Tonight you’re gonna hold the curtain I’m tuning my guitar...

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le cheminement personnel de l’artiste, qui réfléchit à son parcours et à son évolution. Elle se souvient de ses débuts, lorsqu'elle chantait pour le plaisir, avant que la scène ne devienne une source de pression. Entourée de gens qui semblent s'intéresser à sa réussite, elle ressent une certaine solitude, se questionnant sur la véritable nature de ces relations. Son intention n'est pas de vendre sa musique, mais plutôt de partager son vécu et d'apporter, à travers ses chansons, un peu de réconfort aux autres. Ce moment de création devient ainsi un espace intime où elle ajuste sa guitare, prêt à délivrer sa vérité au monde.
