Paroles de la chanson
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Night, midnight, lose my mind
(When you get to my high, when you get to my)
Night, midnight
Oh, God, I'm clean out of air in my lungs
It's all gone
Played it so nonchalant
It's time we danced with the truth
Move alone with the truth
Ooh (hey)
We're sleeping through all the days
I'm acting like I don't see
Every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me
But my hips have missed your hips
So, let's get to know the kicks
Will you sway with me?
Go astray with me?
(Ah ha)
We're King and Queen of the weekend
Ain't a pill that could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
These are the games of the weekend
We pretend that we just don't care
But we care
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
Oh, God, I'm closing my teeth
Around this liquor-wet lime
Midnight, lose my mind
I know you're feeling it too
Can we keep up with the ruse?
Ah ah (hey)
B-bodies all through my house
I know this story by heart:
Jack and Jill get fucked up and possessive
When it get dark
But my hips have missed your hips
So, let's get to know the kicks
Will you sway with me?
Go astray with me?
(Ah ha)
We're King and Queen of the Weekend
Ain't a pill that could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
These are the games of the weekend
We pretend that we just don't care
But we care
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
When you dream with a fever
Bet you wish you could touch our rush
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
Midnight, we're fading
'Til daylight, we're jaded
We know that it's over
In the morning, you'll be dancing with all the heartache
And the treason, the fantasies of leaving
But we know that, when it's over
In the morning, you'll be dancing with us
(Midnight, lose my mind, midnight, lose my mind)
Oh, dancing with us, oh, dancing with us
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
Oh, you'll be dancing with us
(Can you feel it? Can you feel it?)
Dancing with us, us
(But what will we do when we're sober?)
Us
When you get to my high (midnight, lose my mind)
When you get to my (midnight, lose my mind)
Explication des paroles de Sober de Lorde
« Sober » est une chanson de l’artiste néo-zélandaise Lorde qui aborde le thème de la jeunesse insouciante et des excès de la vie nocturne. Écrit à l’origine pour son album « Melodrama » sorti en 2017, le morceau explore les réflexions de l’artiste sur la fête et la sobriété, mettant en lumière les sentiments d’égarement et d’isolement qui peuvent accompagner la recherche constante de plaisir.
Lorde s’est inspirée de ses propres expériences et de celles de son cercle d’amis pour écrire cette chanson, cherchant à capturer l’ambivalence et la complexité des émotions ressenties par les jeunes adultes. Une anecdote intéressante à noter est que le refrain de « Sober » a été en partie écrit par son ami Jack Antonoff, producteur de l’album.
En somme, « Sober » invite à la réflexion sur les excès de la jeunesse et la nécessité de trouver un équilibre entre plaisir et responsabilité.
