Josephine
I heard the name Josephine
It came to me in a dream
And I don't usually set too much store by the things these things might mean
But it was spoken with seriousness
More of a whisper than a scream
So now I'm waiting on some Josephine
To show herself to me
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody to wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me
So come now, Josephine, show yourself to me
So come on now, Josephine, give me what I need
I don't like to be needy but needs must
I can't stand being the person that I've been
I'm an impending car crash
And you're the first one on the scene
I'm a defeated commander
I'm a half-deaf composer
I'm a strange name whispered in a dream
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody to wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me
So come now, Josephine, show yourself to me
[Bridge]
So come on now, Josephine
Let's pretend it's Halloween
You come as a car crash
I'll go as James Dean
I'm Napoloeon on Elba
And you're a hundred days in 1815
I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved
And you're the only one who's ever going to know what they mean
Come on now, Josephine
Wake me from my sleep
I could have been anyone
But I ended up being me
I could have been wide awake
Could have been what you need
I wish that I was anyone except for just me
So come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Significado de la letra
En la canción 'Josephine' de Frank Turner, el narrador comparte cómo escuchó el nombre Josephine en un sueño y siente que tiene un significado especial. Aunque generalmente no presta mucha atención a estas cosas, la forma en que se mencionó el nombre despertó su curiosidad. Ahora está esperando que Josephine se le revele.
El narrador reflexiona sobre las diferentes personas que podría haber sido, pero en última instancia se siente incómodo consigo mismo. Siente la necesidad de alguien que lo saque de su letargo y le ayude a ser quien realmente quiere ser. Anhela encontrar a Josephine para que le dé lo que necesita y lo ayude a ser más auténtico.
En un momento de fantasía, el narrador invita a Josephine a jugar a disfrazarse en Halloween, donde él se convierte en Napoléon en Elba y ella en un accidente automovilístico. Menciona también las cartas que escribió a su amada inmortal, con la certeza de que solo Josephine comprenderá su significado.
El narrador anhela despertar de su sueño y ser quien realmente quiere ser, en lugar de sentirse atrapado en la incomodidad de su propia piel. Desea fervientemente que Josephine aparezca y lo ayude a encontrarse a sí mismo. La canción transmite una sensación de anhelo y búsqueda de identidad, con la esperanza de finalmente encontrarse a través de la presencia de Josephine.¡Espero que hayas disfrutado de la interpretación!
