Lola Young – Walk On By

By 15 avril 2025Lola Young

Take your shit out my house
And you can keep that ugly painting that you bought
I never liked realism anyway
And I guess love comes and goes
And some time to rearrange it
I just hope the next time it comes around

That I'll fucking hate it

You have little outbursts of sad

And I know that you got that from your dad

But right now, I don't have time for that

You got 15 minutes 'til I call your cab

And I never wanna see your face again

Oh man, ain't it sad?

Kinda mad

That the next time I seein' you way out

Holding hands with a girl that you claim was just a friend

And I'll pretend that you didn't notice me

When you look me dead in the eye

I'll just walk on by

I'll just walk on by

Just walk on by

I'll just walk on

Walk on

I'll just walk on by

Standing in my living room

And I've got better shit to do than to listen to you cry

I mean, it's not like it's a pleasant sight, either

It's half past 6 in the mornin'

I'm bored and you're on the wrong side in the dorm

The door and you said you got nowhere to go

Well, you can stop with the lift to the ground floor

You have little outbursts of sad, oh no

And I know that you get that from your dad

But right now, I don't have time for that

You got 15 minutes 'til I call your cab

And I never wanna see your face again

Oh man, ain't it sad?

Kinda mad

That the next time I seein' you way out

Holding hands with a girl that you claim was just a friend

And I'll pretend that you didn't notice me

When you look me dead in the eye

I'll just walk on by

I'll just walk on by

I'll just walk on by

I'll just walk on

Walk on

I'll just walk on by

I'll just walk on

Just walk on

I'll just walk on by

Explication des paroles

La chanson « Walk On By » de Lola Young est une reprise du classique de la chanteuse Dionne Warwick, écrite par Burt Bacharach et Hal David.

Les paroles évoquent le sentiment de tristesse et de solitude qui accompagne le fait de voir quelqu’un qu’on aime partir sans un regard en arrière. La chanteuse exprime sa douleur et son désarroi face à ce rejet, tout en essayant de rester forte malgré tout.

Lola Young apporte sa propre touche personnelle à cette chanson intemporelle, avec une interprétation empreinte d’émotion et de vulnérabilité. Sa voix puissante et soulful donne une profondeur supplémentaire à cette ballade poignante.

Cette reprise de « Walk On By » par Lola Young est un bel hommage à la musique soul des années 60, tout en restant ancrée dans la modernité grâce à son interprétation unique et captivante.

Cette chanson est un rappel poignant de la douleur de l’abandon et de la difficulté de laisser partir quelqu’un qu’on aime, et Lola Young réussit brillamment à transmettre cette émotion à travers sa performance vocale touchante et sincère.
