A Loud Heart - Ember [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Guante]
One month, seventeen days ten minutes
From the time I decided to test my limits
On the wagon but it moves so slow
No radio, no company, no—just the road
I need to figure this out, hopes and lingerin’ doubts
It’s so cold in the winter this house
Is so old and the floorboards creak when nobody’s walkin’
Though even ghosts don’t come around too often
I pass time starin’ outside at the sky
At the moon as it rises I
Stay hungry inside wakin’ up so early
But ain’t nothin’ to eat but cold turkey
So even though I ain’t thirsty
I just drink a little water and I hope that it’s working

[Claire Taubenhaus]
…There was a fire I put out
So it wouldn’t burn us down
But an ember hung around
And it’s still burning, even now

[Guante]
But this is not a song about a breakdown
This is not a song about love
I can quit any time that I want to
And I’ll tell you when I’ve had enough…

[Hook - Claire Taubenhaus]
Tell me what’s missing when I’m not kissing you
When we’re just talkin’ about what we’re goin’ through
I shouldn’t need to touch you to be satisfied
But when I said we could be just friends I lied…

[Guante]
Drownin’, sinkin’ down inch by inch in
The sea that apparently there’s other fish in
The definition of addiction is this
When you’d kill for the thing that’s killing you
I really do swear a single sip of what I tasted on your lips
Would help me come to grips with the fact that this is it
Twelve steps from the kitchen to the bedroom
TV preacher say He tests you to bless you
I ain’t Job I need a rescue
Rent’s due but can’t focus on nothing except you
When I turn the lights off in the apartment
I halfway expect you to find me in the darkness
It just still feels like something is missin’
And sometimes I wonder what the fuck was I thinkin’
And sometimes I wonder was it love or addiction
And sometimes I wonder is there much of a difference

[Claire Taubenhaus]
…When you ask what’s on my mind
I shake my head, I say nothing, say I’m fine
‘cause if you knew that it was you
And it was all the time
I guess I’m scared of what I’d find, terrified

[Guante]
But this is not a song about a breakdown
This is not a song about love
I can quit any time that I want to
And I’ll tell you when I’ve had enough

[Claire Taubenhaus]
Tell me what’s missing when I’m not kissing you

[Guante]

[Guante]

[Guante]
I can quit anytime I want to
