【歌詞翻訳・意味解説】The Fray/ザ・フレイ You Found Me/ユー・ファウンド・ミー【歌詞翻訳・意味解説】

アメリカの4人組ロックバンド。
バンド名の由来は「Fray（口論）」から。

彼らの代表曲とも言える「How To Save A Life」、「Over My Head (Cable Car)」で成功を掴み、現在もアメリカで非常に高い人気を誇っている。

なお、同曲は第49回グラミー賞にて「ベスト・ロック・パフォーマンス賞」と「ベスト・ポップ・パフォーマンス賞」にノミネートされた。

第1連に出てくる「西」が具体的に一体何を意味するのかはわかりません。

西洋理知主義による論理的思考を指すのか？合理性を指すのか？

せめてこのFirstとAmistadの角がどこを指すのかわかれば、まだしも手がかりになると思うのですが。
First Avenueなのか？First Streetなのか？First Boulevardなのか？
またAmistad Streetなのか判然としません。

当然どこの場所かもわかりません。
テキサス州の田舎町にそういう場所があることはわかったのですが、これがいわば原野の真ん中。
他にもいくつか候補があったのですが、どれもしっくりこない。

おそらくここをお読みになった方は「どこなんだよ」とお考えでしょうが、私にもわからないということを先にお伝えしておきます。

[Verse 1]
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, “Where you been?”
He said, “Ask anything”.

[Verse 2]
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

[Chorus 1]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin’ on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

[Verse 3]
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who’s ever known
Who I am
Who I’m not, who I wanna be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

[Chorus 2]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin’ on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

[Bridge]
Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been callin’
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
Ya never send me no letters
You got some kinda nerve
Taking all I want

[Chorus 3 and outro]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin’ on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin’ on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
Why’d you have to wait?
To find me, to find me
