Vidéo : Sophie Hunger – Security Check

In a second
from heaven to pit
Nothing nothing nothing sticks
I’m 21st century sick

Sophie Hunger a écrit cette chanson en passant la sécurité à l’aéroport d’Heathrow et comme souvent des petits riens font remonter les débris et les vestiges d’une histoire d’amour défunte. Beaucoup ont des singes dans la tête mais le cachent, lost in transition. Sans doute la plus sincère et la plus généreuse des chansons de cette automne.

Sophie Hunger – Security Check

Cried in the cab through security check
Put your toothpaste and my shoes in a separate box
Little do they know about the monkeys in my head

I cried at the gate, and bow to the crown
Feeling your hands as they pat me down and
There is nothing safe – safe about me now

It’s too soon
It’s too soon
It’s too soon to cry
No one jumps with their hands behind their backs

It’s too soon
It’s too soon
It’s too soon to leave
I don’t want – I don’t want to be free

Cried in the plane, fastened to my seat
Falling as we rise 37,000 feet
Is anyone else lost in transition ?
There’s no emergency plan for this kind of crash
Just because I feel it doesn’t mean that it’s not there

It’s too soon
It’s too soon
It’s too soon to cry
No one jumps with their hands behind their backs
In a second from heaven to pills
Nothing, nothing, nothing sticks
Twentyfirst century sick

Am I doomed mom
I can read the room but i can’t write one
So don’t forget, no don’t forget
To leave your lights on
