Slint - Don, Aman

Rien de gros, mais pour donner un peu de vie à TT, j'ai pensé partager mon obsession de la semaine (et oui, on parle vraiment d'une obsession, quasi-folie à la limite). Voici donc les parole de la troisième plage de Spiderland, le meilleur album jamais écrit.

À mon avis (et selon ce que j'ai lu), la chanson traite d'aliénation et de réalisation personnelle. Le premier thème via la distance de Don par rapport au party où il se trouve, le second quand il part en voiture et se réveille le lendemain. On nous laisse toutefois sur un fin plutôt ambiguë : qu'est-ce que Don compte faire? (He knew what he had to do). Si on met la chanson en relation avec celle qui la suit, on pourrait penser à la seule décision réellement philosophique.

Je vous laisse lire les paroles et interpréter la chanson selon votre gré. Pour vous aider, je joins un clip.

Don, Aman
Don stepped outside
It feels good to be alone
He wished he was drunk
He thought about something he said
And how stupid it had sounded
He should forget about it
He decided to piss, but he couldn't
(A plane passes silently overhead)

The streetlights, and the buds on the trees, were still

It finally came, he took a deep breath
It made him feel strong, and determined
To go back inside

The light
Their backs
The conversations
The couples, romancing, so natural
His friends stare
With eyes like the heads of nails
The others
Glances
With amusement
With evasion
With contempt
So distant
With malice
For being a sty in their engagement
Like swimming underwater in the darkness
Like walking through an empty house
Speaking to an imaginary audience

And being watched from outside by
Someone without a key

He could not dance to anything
Don left
And drove
And howled
And laughed
At himself
He felt he knew what that was

Don woke up
And looked at the night before
He knew what he had to do
He was responsible
In the mirror
He saw his friend
