Paroles:

[English]

A place in the city, a chair in the bed

I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet

I wear smoke like a wedding veil

Make a meal I won't eat

Step out into the street, alone in a sea

It comes over me

Oh, I'm missing you

Yeah, I'm missing you

And all the things we used to do

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

We kissed for hours straight

Well baby, what was that?

I remember saying then

"This is the best cigarette of my life"

Well, I want you just like that

Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm

And it knocks me out

I didn't know then

that you'd never be enough for me

Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything

Now, we wake from a dream

Well, baby, what was that?

What was that?

Baby, what was that?

Do you know you're still with me

When I'm out with my friends?

I stare at the painted faces that talk current affairs

You had to know this was happening

You weren't feeling my heat

When I'm in the blue light, down to be myself right

I face reality

I tried (I tried)

To let (To let)

Whatever has to pass through me, pass through

But this is still a problem, I know

It might not let me go

MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up

We kissed for hours straight

Well baby, what was that?

I remember saying then

"This is the best cigarette of my life"

Well, I want you just like that

Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm

And it knocks me out

I didn't know then

But you'd never be enough for me

Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything

Now, we wake from a dream

Well, baby, what was that?

What was that?

'Cause I want you just like that

(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)

What was that?

(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)

Baby, what was that?

Grammaire:

  • I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet

    ➔ Verbe modal 'can't' pour exprimer l'incapacité

    ➔ La phrase indique que l'état émotionnel actuel de l'orateur l'empêche de faire face à son propre reflet. 'Can't see' exprime une incapacité présente.

  • And all the things we used to do

    ➔ 'Used to' + infinitif pour décrire des habitudes ou des états passés

    ➔ 'Used to do' signifie des actions ou des routines qui étaient habituelles dans le passé mais ne sont plus pratiquées.

  • Well baby, what was that?

    ➔ Passé simple sous forme de question

    ➔ La question se réfère à un événement ou une expérience passée sur laquelle on réfléchit maintenant avec un sentiment d'incertitude ou de confusion.

  • This is the best cigarette of my life

    ➔ Adjectif superlatif 'best' avec le présent simple

    ➔ La phrase utilise un adjectif superlatif pour exprimer le plus haut degré d'une qualité (bonté) liée à la cigarette à ce moment-là.

  • I didn't know then that you'd never be enough for me

    ➔ Passé Simple ('didn't know'), Conditionnel Passé Deuxième Forme ('you'd never be enough')

    ➔ Exprime une prise de conscience dans le présent d'un manque de connaissance dans le passé. 'You'd never be enough' utilise une structure conditionnelle parfaite pour décrire une situation hypothétique qui n'a pas pu être modifiée dans le passé.

  • Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything

    ➔ Passé Composé ('I have given') implicite avec 'Since' indiquant une période du passé au présent

    ➔ Bien que la forme verbale soit au passé simple, la clause 'since' implique une action ou un état continu de ce moment jusqu'à maintenant, ce qui fait du passé composé une alternative appropriée. La phrase pourrait également être écrite comme "Since I was seventeen, I have given you everything."

  • Do you know you're still with me When I'm out with my friends?

    ➔ Présent Simple dans les propositions principales et subordonnées indiquant un état présent et une action habituelle

    ➔ 'Do you know' s'enquiert de la conscience de l'autre personne de sa présence persistante dans la vie de l'orateur. 'When I'm out with my friends' établit le contexte de cette présence persistante.

  • Whatever has to pass through me, pass through

    ➔ Mode impératif ('pass through') dans une proposition 'whatever' agissant comme une proposition subordonnée substantive

    ➔ Cela utilise l'impératif 'pass through' deux fois : d'abord comme partie de la proposition 'whatever' fonctionnant comme sujet, puis comme le verbe principal de la phrase, donnant un ordre pour permettre aux expériences ou aux émotions de circuler librement sans résistance. "Whatever has to pass through me" fait référence à tout ce qui est inévitable ou nécessaire qui doit être vécu.
