Cher - The Fall (Kurt's Blues) Lyrics






Never even knew you
But I heard your note today
You talk about injustice
And how we look the other way
I knew full well your meaning
But my world just moves too fast
It's a shame about your future
It's a crime about your past

Was there no one who could save you
From the prison of each breath
Like Rapunzel in her tower
Isolation equals death
Was there no one who could rescue you
From the prison of your pain
Am I tougher or just lucky
Our fate didn't end the same

But my heart has run on empty
Since I heard the fuckin' news
We're a heartless, Godless culture
We'd walk nowhere in your shoes

For me it's 6:30 in the morning
And my moods as black as rain
I am 30 light years older
But I understand your pain
They'll all hate you
'Cause you left them here
To struggle on their own
I'm sorry you saw no choice
'Til death chilled you to the bone

But my heart has run on empty
Since I heard the fuckin' news
We're a heartless, Godless culture
We'd walk nowhere in your shoes
Well the good news if there's any
Is you ever lived at all
But our country kills its heroes
We just raise them for the fall

    I get this song is about Kurt (RIP). But it also fits very well into celebrity worship culture.

  2. J.... ....

    Thank you, Cher, for writing this beautiful song. RIP, Kurt 😢

  3. M.... C....

    This is just beautiful. I have goosebumps and tears.

    A queda de blues de Kurt cobain

    Cher

    Nunca te conheci
    Mas eu ouvi sua nota hoje
    Você fala sobre injustiça
    E como olhamos para o outro lado
    Eu sabia muito bem o seu significado
    Mas meu mundo apenas se move rápido demais
    É uma pena o seu futuro
    É um crime sobre o seu passado

    Não havia ninguém que pudesse te salvar?
    Da prisão de cada respiração
    Como Rapunzel na torre dela
    Isolamento é igual a morte
    Não havia ninguém que pudesse te salvar?
    Da prisão da sua dor
    Eu sou mais forte ou apenas sortudo?
    Nosso destino não terminou o mesmo

    Mas meu coração correu vazio
    Desde que ouvi a porra da notícia
    Somos uma cultura sem coração e sem Deus
    Nós não andávamos em lugar algum em seus sapatos

    Para mim é 6:30 da manhã
    E meu humor tão negro quanto a chuva
    Eu tenho 30 anos-luz mais velhos
    Mas eu entendo sua dor
    Todos odeiam você
    Porque você os deixou aqui
    Para lutar por conta própria
    Me desculpe você não viu escolha
    Até a morte te esfriar até o osso

    Mas meu coração correu vazio
    Desde que ouvi a porra da notícia
    Somos uma cultura sem coração e sem Deus
    Nós não andávamos em lugar algum em seus sapatos

    Bem, a boa notícia se houver alguma
    Você já viveu alguma vez?
    Mas nosso país mata seus heróis
    Nós apenas os criamos para a queda
