Paroles:

[English]

Tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

Don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

CHORUS: I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

CHORUS: Become so tired, so much more aware

CHORUS: By becoming this all I want to do

CHORUS: Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me?

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control

'Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart, right in front of you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take!

CHORUS: I've become so numb

CHORUS: I can't feel you there

CHORUS: Become so tired, so much more aware

CHORUS: By becoming this all I want to do

CHORUS: Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

CHORUS: I've become so numb

CHORUS: I can't feel you there

CHORUS: Become so tired, so much more aware

CHORUS: By becoming this all I want to do

CHORUS: Is be more like me and be less like you

CHORUS: I've become so numb

CHORUS: I can't feel you there

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

CHORUS: I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Grammaire:

  • Tired of being what you want me to be

    ➔ Groupe nominal gérondif comme complément du sujet ; 'what' comme pronom relatif fusionné.

    ➔ L'expression "tired of being" fonctionne comme complément du sujet, décrivant l'état du locuteur. "What you want me to be" est une proposition subordonnée nominale agissant comme l'objet de la préposition 'of'. 'What' combine ici la fonction d'un pronom relatif et son antécédent.

  • Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

    ➔ Groupes participiales agissant comme adjectifs; Ellipse de 'I am'.

    "Feeling so faithless" et "lost under the surface" sont des groupes participiales modifiant le sujet implicite 'I'. Le locuteur omet "I am" au début.

  • Don't know what you're expecting of me

    ➔ Question indirecte; Préposition 'of' suivie d'un pronom personnel complément.

    "What you're expecting of me" est une question indirecte qui fonctionne comme l'objet du verbe 'know'. L'expression "of me" montre ce que vous attendez du locuteur.

  • Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

    ➔ Voix passive ('put'); Préposition 'of' suivie d'un groupe nominal gérondif.

    ➔ Le locuteur est à la voix passive, ce qui signifie qu'il reçoit l'action, il ne l'effectue pas. "Walking in your shoes" est un groupe nominal gérondif utilisé comme l'objet de la préposition 'of'.

  • Every step that I take is another mistake to you

    ➔ Proposition subordonnée relative ('that I take'); Accord sujet-verbe; 'Another' utilisé comme déterminant.

    "That I take" est une proposition subordonnée relative modifiant "every step". Le verbe 'is' s'accorde avec le sujet singulier 'every step'. "Another" indique une erreur supplémentaire en plus des précédentes.

  • I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

    ➔ Temps présent parfait ('I've become'); 'So' comme intensifieur; Verbe modal 'can't'.

    "I've become" indique une action qui a commencé dans le passé et continue d'avoir une pertinence maintenant. "So" souligne le degré d'engourdissement. "Can't" exprime une incapacité.

  • By becoming this all I want to do

    ➔ Préposition 'By' suivie d'un gérondif ('becoming'); Inversion pour l'emphase; 'All' comme pronom.

    "By becoming this" montre les moyens d'atteindre quelque chose. L'ordre typique des mots serait 'All I want to do is be more like me'. L'inversion met l'accent sur 'By becoming this'. 'All' se réfère à tout ce que le locuteur désire.

  • You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

    ➔ Temps passé simple; Préposition 'with' indiquant une association; Adjectif participial ('disappointed').

    "Were" indique un état dans le passé. "With someone disappointed in you" décrit la personne qui était déçue par 'vous'. "Disappointed" est un participe passé fonctionnant comme un adjectif.
