Heart In A Cage
Julian Casablancas
Well, I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned
Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
I don't want what you want, I don't feel what you feel
See, I'm stuck in a city but I belong in a field
Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
All our friends, they're laughing at us
All of those you loved, you mistrust
Help me, I'm just not quite myself
Look around, there's no one else left
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
And I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Yes, the heart beats in its cage
And the heart beats in its cage
A Prisão Emocional em Heart In A Cage dos The Strokes
A música Heart In A Cage da banda The Strokes, liderada pelo vocalista Julian Casablancas, é uma expressão crua de sentimentos de aprisionamento e deslocamento. A letra reflete uma luta interna, onde o eu lírico sente-se preso em suas próprias circunstâncias, simbolizadas pela imagem de um coração em uma gaiola.
O início da música revela um descontentamento com a vida atual, onde nem as distrações ('fucking around') nem a estagnação ('stuck in the ground') trazem satisfação ou inspiração. Há uma rejeição a lições não solicitadas, indicando que o eu lírico já passou por experiências suficientes para aprender por si mesmo. A menção ao sol brilhando e aos filhos queimando pode ser uma metáfora para a inevitabilidade do sofrimento, apesar das aparências enganosas de felicidade ou normalidade.
A música também aborda a alienação e a solidão. O eu lírico sente-se deslocado, preso em um ambiente urbano ('stuck in a city') quando sua essência anseia pela liberdade do campo ('belong in a field'). A repetição de 'left' pode simbolizar um sentimento de abandono ou de estar à margem da sociedade. A solidão é ainda mais enfatizada pela imagem de comer sozinho às três da manhã. A música termina com uma aceitação melancólica dessa condição, reconhecendo que o coração continua a bater, mesmo estando preso.
Well, I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
Não me sinto melhor quando estou me divertindo
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
E não escrevo melhor quando estou preso no chão
So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned
Então, não me ensine uma lição porque eu já aprendi
Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn
Sim, o sol estará brilhando e meus filhos vão se queimar
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, o coração bate em sua gaiola
I don't want what you want, I don't feel what you feel
Não quero o que você quer, não sinto o que você sente
See, I'm stuck in a city but I belong in a field
Veja, estou preso em uma cidade, mas pertenço a um campo
Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Sim, fomos deixados, deixados, deixados, deixados, deixados, deixados, deixados
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone
Agora são três da manhã e você está comendo sozinho
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, o coração bate em sua gaiola
All our friends, they're laughing at us
Todos os nossos amigos, eles estão rindo de nós
All of those you loved, you mistrust
Todos aqueles que você amou, você desconfia
Help me, I'm just not quite myself
Ajude-me, eu simplesmente não sou bem eu mesmo
Look around, there's no one else left
Olhe ao redor, não há mais ninguém lá
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Fui ao show e lutei através da multidão
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Acho que fiquei muito animado quando pensei que você estava por perto
Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Oh, ele é deixado, deixado, deixado, deixado, deixado, deixado, deixado
And I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
E sinto muito se você estava pensando que eu roubaria seu fogo
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, o coração bate em sua gaiola
Yes, the heart beats in its cage
Sim, o coração bate em sua gaiola, tudo bem
And the heart beats in its cage
Oh, o coração bate em sua gaiola
Well, I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
No me siento mejor cuando estoy jodiendo
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
Y no escribo mejor cuando estoy atrapado en el suelo
So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned
Así que no me enseñes una lección porque ya he aprendido
Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn
Sí, el sol estará brillando y mis hijos se quemarán
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, el corazón late en su jaula
I don't want what you want, I don't feel what you feel
No quiero lo que tú quieres, no siento lo que tú sientes
See, I'm stuck in a city but I belong in a field
Mira, estoy atrapado en una ciudad pero pertenezco a un campo
Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Sí, nos dejaron, dejaron, dejaron, dejaron, dejaron, dejaron, dejaron
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone

All of those you loved, you mistrust
Todos aquellos a los que amabas, desconfías
Help me, I'm just not quite myself
Ayúdame, simplemente no soy yo mismo
Look around, there's no one else left
Mira a tu alrededor, no hay nadie más allí
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Fui al concierto y luché a través de la multitud
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Supongo que me emocioné demasiado cuando pensé que estabas cerca
Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Oh, él se queda, se queda, se queda, se queda, se queda, se queda, se queda
And I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
Y lamento que pensaras que robaría tu fuego
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, el corazón late en su jaula
Yes, the heart beats in its cage
Sí, el corazón late en su jaula, está bien
And the heart beats in its cage
Oh, el corazón late en su jaula
Well, I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
Je ne me sens pas mieux quand je m'amuse
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
Et je n'écris pas mieux quand je suis coincé dans le sol
So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned
Alors ne m'apprenez pas une leçon car j'ai déjà appris
Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn
Oui, le soleil brillera et mes enfants brûleront
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, le cœur bat dans sa cage
I don't want what you want, I don't feel what you feel
Je ne veux pas ce que tu veux, je ne ressens pas ce que tu ressens
See, I'm stuck in a city but I belong in a field
Voyez, je suis coincé dans une ville mais j'appartiens à un champ
Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Oui, on a été laissé, laissé, laissé, laissé, laissé, laissé, laissé
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone
Maintenant il est trois heures du matin et tu manges seul
Oh, the heart beats in its cage

Tous nos amis, ils se moquent de nous
All of those you loved, you mistrust
Tous ceux que tu as aimés, tu te méfies
Help me, I'm just not quite myself
Aide-moi, je ne suis pas tout à fait moi-même
Look around, there's no one else left
Regarde autour de toi, il n'y a personne d'autre là
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Je suis allé au concert et j'ai lutté à travers la foule
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Je suppose que j'étais trop excité quand je pensais que tu étais là
Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Oh, il est laissé, laissé, laissé, laissé, laissé, laissé, laissé
And I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
Et je suis désolé que tu pensais que je volerais ton feu
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, le cœur bat dans sa cage
Yes, the heart beats in its cage
Oui, le cœur bat dans sa cage, d'accord
And the heart beats in its cage
Oh, le cœur bat dans sa cage
Well, I don't feel better when I'm fucking around
Ich fühle mich nicht besser, wenn ich herumalbere
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground
Und ich schreibe nicht besser, wenn ich im Boden feststecke
So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned
Also belehre mich nicht, denn ich habe schon gelernt
Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn
Ja, die Sonne wird scheinen und meine Kinder werden brennen
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, das Herz schlägt in seinem Käfig
I don't want what you want, I don't feel what you feel
Ich will nicht, was du willst, ich fühle nicht, was du fühlst
See, I'm stuck in a city but I belong in a field
Siehst du, ich stecke in einer Stadt fest, aber ich gehöre auf ein Feld
Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Ja, wir wurden verlassen, verlassen, verlassen, verlassen, verlassen, verlassen, verlassen

Alle, die du geliebt hast, misstraust du

Hilf mir, ich bin einfach nicht ganz ich selbst
Look around, there's no one else left
Schau dich um, es ist sonst niemand da
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Ich ging zum Konzert und kämpfte mich durch die Menge
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Vermutlich wurde ich zu aufgeregt, als ich dachte, du wärst in der Nähe
Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Oh, er wird verlassen, verlassen, verlassen, verlassen, verlassen, verlassen, verlassen
And I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire

Non mi sento meglio quando sto fottendo in giro
And I don't write better when I'm stuck in the ground

So don't teach me a lesson 'cause I've already learned
Quindi non insegnarmi una lezione perché ho già imparato
Yeah, the sun will be shining and my children will burn
Sì, il sole splenderà e i miei figli bruceranno
Oh, the heart beats in its cage
Oh, il cuore batte nella sua gabbia
I don't want what you want, I don't feel what you feel
Non voglio quello che vuoi, non sento quello che senti
See, I'm stuck in a city but I belong in a field
Vedi, sono bloccato in una città ma appartengo a un campo
Yeah, we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Sì, ci hanno lasciato, lasciato, lasciato, lasciato, lasciato, lasciato, lasciato

Look around, there's no one else left
Guardati intorno, non c'è nessun altro lì
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Sono andato al concerto e ho lottato tra la folla
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around
Immagino di essermi eccitato troppo quando ho pensato che tu fossi lì
Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left
Oh, lui viene lasciato, lasciato, lasciato, lasciato, lasciato, lasciato, lasciato
And I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
E mi dispiace che pensassi che avrei rubato il tuo fuoco
