Original lyrics
Hey oh
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
You have taken a turnOh and all I taught her was everything
Oh I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I'm spinning
Oh i'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop awayAnd now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All I'll beYeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine
Translation
Hey oh
Vazias paint fabrics
Fish untouched by argila
Foram dispostas diante de mim
Like or body of um dia esteve
All five horizons
Spinning around your soul
Like a terra ao redor do sol
Agora o ar que eu provide e respirei
Rumo mudouE tudo or what teach the foi tudo
Eu I know that she owed me that she used
And agora minhas more bitter
It is sfolam abaixo das nuvens
What a day it was
Oh as images foram
All washed in preto
Tattooing tudo
Eu saio for a walk
Fenced sou
for some children jumping
Eu posso feel your laughter
So why is he murcho?
Oh, the confused thoughts that spin
Ao redor de minha cabeça
I'm spinning
Oh i'm spinning
As fast as the sun can be doneAnd agora minhas more bitter
I packed broken glass
What a day it was
Oh as images foram
All washed in preto
Tattooing tudo
Everything or love turned bad
Transform my world into a drain
Tattooing you, what a vejo,
All that eu sou
Tudo o que eu sereiYeah
Eu sei that some day you will have a beautiful life
Eu sei que você will be a star
No ceu de um outro alguem
But why?
Because?
Why can't it be?
Why can't it be, no me?
Analysis of the song
A letter gives music possui uma forte emotional charge that is enhanced by Eddie Vedder's plucked guitar and vocal hair. Or a set of a melancholic tom à song, which is the central theme or end of a love affair.
A first stanza is about or abandonment that the singer sees as the departure of the beloved person. As argila fabrics, which were previously used for artistic creation, are used as static objects in sight of the singer. A figure of solidão is placed as something sterile and inanimate, as if pulling or feeling daquilo that or near.
Vazias paint fabrics
Fish untouched by argila
To lose an important element: I have been proven or have changed from rumor to a large part or reason for sadness and for or feeling of abandonment - mainly when the loved one was the object of devotion, ao redor do qual or cantor orbitava as centro do seu universe. How to return to being or what was before It is a great questão placed.
Like a terra ao redor do sol
A change as an essential element, no love relationship appears in the second verse. The element of succession in the relationship arises as a further reason for the relief or the break, the composer's life is completed as a trade.
E tudo or what teach the foi tudo
Eu I know that she owed me that she used
Or that you follow one of the deepest images of the song: more than that. A figure reminds us of a repetitive, obsessive behavior. As we nuvens take us to something superior, which is acclimatized to the singer, as a place of the past, where the images reside that one day was born. Barely subtracting or preto I collect the boas memories, how did I get a tattoo of preto or that one day was colorful and happy.
Transform my world into a drain
Tattooing you, what a vejo,
The musician was aware of his sadness, but he did not understand. He is capable of perceiving the world over and over in the "good moments", therefore he does not get to catch the joy, as I have seen I do not stretch over as children jumping. Or singer sat confused with sadness that or near.
Fenced sou
for some children jumping
Eu posso feel your laughter
So why is he murcho?
Or the theme of the escape that brings the life of the singer closer to the loss of the beloved person and resumed in song. Thus, I collect broken glass as a metaphor for two thieves of a broken heart.
At the last stanza is a kind of crescent, the verses are sung in sequence with long vocais interspersed with the words. The last regret for the lost of the beloved person: the singer acknowledges the qualities of the, accrediting that all the dreams of the will be realized, but it hurts that it will not be not your ceu.
Meaning of the letter
A letter of the song tells the story of the suffering caused by a love breakdown. Or I took melancholy and the most memorable image of the escape that surrounds the person who lost or be loved. OR recognition of the value of the person who was lost Also, I am a mark and a non-composer mourning species.
To lose the mourning only the central elements of the letter. Or lost love is represented as the death of a beloved person. The final verses that contam on a star are not reinforced in this image, like someone who dies and goes to a ceu.
Or grunge movement
Or grunge is a subgenre of rock that emerged in the 1980s in Seattle. The style of music that became world famous did not begin two years 1990, as a disco release. Have, do Pearl Jam, e do Nevermind, do Nirvana. Aesthetically, the ficou movement made from simple and stripped clothes, torn jeans and flannel shirts.
Inspired by hardcore hair, punk hair and popular protest music, like Neil Young's ace, or grunge se You appear as a counterculture movement, criticizing the consumerist society and emptying the end of the secular XX. Another important characteristic is apathy and a certain niilismo nas canções.
I did not start two years 90, there was a kind of feeling of emptiness caused by the rise of the consumer society. Thus, new generations were pressured to obtain financial success and continue the wave of optimism that saw the Berlim wall remain and the valuation of the stock exchanges. Boa part of the nova geração was unsatisfied with this, not true, false self and social pressões. O grunge arose as a form of escape from criticism of the current situation, mainly from mass culture and from the entertainment industry.
Musically or movimento é bem amplo, encompassing a great variety of compositions. Or I use distorted guitar as a common characteristic, which I see as punk influences, despite the rhythm of grunge music being slower.
