running to stand still

Novembre 27, 2007

 

running to stand still
running to stand still

 

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're going

Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing Ha, Ah La La La De Day
Ah La La La De Day
Ah La La De Day

Sweet the sin
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out:
You gotta cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice

You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing…Ha La La La De Day
Ha La La La De Day
Ha La La De Day

Ooooh…Ooooh…Ooooh…

She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes

She will…
Suffer the needle chill

She is running to stand…
Still

    canzone mitica, album capolavoro (the joshua tree – 1987)

    RUNNING TO STAND STILL (CORRERE PER RESTARE FERMI), parla di una ragazza di Dublino dipendente da eroina.

    L’espressione “correre per restare fermi” rende perfettamente la condizione di chi deve procurarsi continuamente la droga solo per sopravvivere.

    era anche l’una e quella in questione (non era questa) aveva dei bassi da terremoto di 6° grado, come quello che stava per fare quello del piano di sotto (o sopra, boh…) quando ti ha gentilmente consigliato di ascoltartela con la cuffia!!!
