riff sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night movie cameras rolling in and there goes my hero with his head between his legs and all this time i believed in him riff now what is the sound of snow falling down on the tombstone in the dead of night and who is the hound at the downtown dog pound who speaks english when the watchman's not in sight and where will you be in 1993? still sitting in the same chair? sinning is for sinners and i"m just a beginner but i've never really been punched there riff hey ain't it strange how some things never change ain't it strange how nothing stays the same you were thinking i was distressed about some universal press but i was just depressed about my last pinball game riff i've learned to accept and not to expect the respect and neglect that i get i try not to forget about what hasn't happened yet and on this i place my last bet hey did you give what you get did you get what you give of your fair share of wear and tear winning is for winners and i know spring follows winter but i've never really been touched there you know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice and you can't find peace anywhere love's just not for lovers get off your high horse brothers drop your fists and get out of here riff riff e|---2------2----2------2----2------2------------| B|---3------3----3------3----3------3--0h1-------| G|---2--0h2-2----2--0h2-2----2--0h2-2------2-----| D|-0-----------0-----------0------------3---| A|------------| E|------------| all the open chords have hammer-ons in them, most on the second note (i think). ************************************ | h hammer-on ************************************

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson explore les désillusions et les luttes intérieures de l'existence humaine. Elle évoque des images conflictuelles de héros déchus et de souvenirs troublants, tout en posant des questions sur l'identité et le temps qui passe. Le narrateur semble osciller entre l'acceptation et le rejet de la réalité, cherchant un sens dans un monde où les certitudes s'effritent. La lutte contre la haine et la recherche de paix intérieure s'affrontent, mettant en lumière la complexité des émotions et des relations humaines. Dans un contexte plus large, on peut percevoir une critique des attentes sociales et des pressions externes, ainsi qu'un appel à l'humilité et à la solidarité. La chanson pousse à réfléchir sur la sincérité des actions, tant personnelles que collectives, et sur la manière dont nous faisons face aux épreuves de la vie.
