Fall From Grace de Roger

La canción "Fall From Grace" interpretada por Roger y con letras de Sage Francis nos sumerge en un viaje introspectivo a través de las emociones y experiencias de un individuo que se siente perdido y desconectado de su origen. La letra refleja la lucha interna por encontrar un sentido de pertenencia y dirección en medio de la desolación y la soledad que parecen rodear al protagonista.

El narrador expresa su incomodidad con las normas sociales y la superficialidad que lo rodea, mostrando una actitud crítica hacia los patrones establecidos. Se cuestiona el significado del hogar, la identidad y el destino, planteando dudas existenciales sobre el propósito de su camino. La metáfora del viaje como un proceso de descubrimiento personal resuena a lo largo de la canción, destacando el contraste entre la aparente seguridad del hogar y la sensación de estar perdido en un mundo caótico.

Las referencias a la infancia, a la soledad del sistema de acogida y a la búsqueda incesante de conexión emocional añaden capas de complejidad al tema central. El dolor y la alienación se entrelazan con la esperanza de encontrar un lugar donde pertenecer, donde las múltiples facetas del ser puedan converger en una identidad cohesiva.

La estructura musical de la canción complementa magistralmente esta exploración emocional, con acordes melancólicos que subrayan el tono introspectivo de las letras. Instrumentos como guitarras acústicas y sutiles arreglos vocales contribuyen a crear una atmósfera íntima y reflexiva, reforzando el mensaje lírico sobre el anhelo profundo por encontrar un hogar tanto física como emocionalmente.

En cuanto al contexto cultural en el que se lanzó la canción, es importante considerar cómo temas como la identidad, la alienación y la búsqueda del sentido de pertenencia resuenan con audiencias diversas en diferentes contextos socioculturales. La naturaleza universal de estas experiencias personales permite que "Fall From Grace" conecte con oyentes de todo el mundo que han experimentado momentos similares de introspección e incertidumbre.

En resumen, "Fall From Grace" es mucho más que una canción pop convencional; es una obra profundamente emotiva que invita a reflexionar sobre temas universales como el amor, el dolor y la búsqueda constante de autenticidad en un mundo cada vez más deshumanizado. A través de sus letras poéticas y su poderosa interpretación, Roger nos guía en un viaje lleno de emociones encontradas e inquietudes existenciales que resuenan en lo más profundo del corazón humano.

(Sage Francis)
It's time to rethink every fact that is imaginable
Survival instinct dwells in a past that is inhabitable
I happen to pull fast ones over the slow parole board
Who likes to speak to de-fanged wolves who cry sheep
Time seeps into our skin, age indicates how long we've been lost in space
I keep putting expressionless looks on my face
An awful waste of human skin who waits for Autumn to begin
My fall from grace will do me in too late
(I'm out of season)
No spring chicken, summer romance novel writer could win a prize
It's Nobel , go to hell in a riding vehicle that he winterized
I change my mind more often then my undergarments
Aout abortion and other nonsense
I'm an orphan who comes from Providence
I am a sign from God! ...to the parentally misguided

(And I know...)
This state is not an ocean, not an island, not a road
If I don't know where I come from
How do I know where to go?
It's not where you're from, not where you're at
It's where your going... and I am going home
(And I know...)
This state is not an ocean, not an island, not a road
If I don't know where I come from
How do I know where to go?
It's not where you're from, not where you're at
It's where your going... and I am going home...
...to where? The land of the lost souls
Feeling a loneliness that really only exists in abandoned foster homes
How many images of missing kids can be fit onto a milk carton?
Framed, they're starting to look the same
Starting to say his name, and claim privileges
As if they found HIM!
The strangest little kids surrounding the circle of false friendship
Rings of fire are connected at the elbow
Cause they're tired moms unexpectedly let go
The Velcro light component that keeps there unit cohesive
It's the music! So we give reasons to get sober
Life experiences to hum to
These kids play Red Rover and look for weaknesses to run through
With reckless abandon they stand and refuse to go down
Pinballs in their machine bounce between abusive homes now
If its fight or flight, they'll just choose to throw down
Ain't nothing like beating a dead horse, riding it through a ghost town
I move with no sound... I used to think I was invisible
Til they stopped me mid-stride and said
"I think I seen a picture of you..."
Picture that, I said "Nah I just got one of them faces
Placed next to an expiration date that changes"
I kind of look familiar, my name is on the tip of your tongue
The lost look on my face makes you play dumb
"Say something colloquial
I need to get my bearings and a feel for where I'm at"
But you ain't hearin' that
They shout "freeze!" I'm a tourist trapped by townies
Who put bounties out on me in all surrounding counties
Before I bounce, I hear them shout
"Can someone help us out, PLEASE!"
We're all alone in the foster home
Killin' ourselves with the house keys...
Not every broken home can come equipped with a fix-it man
And it's a smelly mess once the shit hits the fan
Kids just stand in their circle jerks with their dicks in the sand
Saying "FUCK THE WORLD" cause they ain't got no girl
But who do they think I am?
Think again, I'm not that quick to plan ahead of time
I'm two steps behind the schedule, they pretend to have read my mind
I think they just misread the lines in the palm of my hand, 'cause
They're random scars caused by slap boxin' with landlords
I ran with the dogs till I realized they were all mutts
Turned bitch once the dog catcher caught up
Forced into trucks, boarded up, put to sleep in the pound
Being an orphan sucks, but I'm through with sneaking around
I see my frown posted up on street lights
And telephone poles, from what they show it seems like
I never grow old, from what they show it seems like
I never go home, and that doesn't seem right
Cause they won't let me grow...
And this is where some go
To avoid the sunrays and the noise of subways
Emerging introverted, unemployed and unshaved
I feel rewarded offering a finder's fee that I know no one will pay
And this is where some go
To avoid the sunrays and the noise of subways
Emerging introverted, unemployed and unshaved
I've got multiple personalities and my inner children are runaways

(And I know...)
State is not an ocean, not an island, not a road
If I don't know where I come from
How do I know where to go?
It's not where you're from, not where you're at
It's where your going... and I am going home...
To the land of the lost souls
Feeling a loneliness that really only exists in abandoned foster homes

I feel rewarded offering a finder's fee that I know no one will pay I've got
Multiple personalities and my inner children are runaways
I feel rewarded offering a finder's fee that I know no one will pay I've got
Multiple personalities and my inner children are runaways
I feel rewarded offering a finder's fee that I know no one will pay I've got
Multiple personalities and my inner children are runaways...
(kids shouting until end)
