Al Loober - More or Less [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I want more sunny days, less muscle aches
Less Subway, where I’m underpaid
More managers that give half a care
When I get the nuts to say I want another raise
I need more time to kneed through my torn life
I need more than a second but less than a fortnight
Less commitment, less check boxes
More ability to say “Let’s get off this!”
Less episodes of heartburn
More episodes of Arthur
Less let downs that lead to getting slowly harder
More climaxes, less anticlimaxes
Less fluctuation like “Can’t we find balance?”
More fun, less feeling like I belong on a short bus
More strength to abhor lust, less doubt, more trust
More us, less them, him, she, and whatever’s in between
More tea, and more than anything

[Hook]
I want peace, moderation, I don’t wanna have to choose
I want more of the good things and less of the bad, and everything to come out flat and smooth
I want more doors open, yes then I’d sure be set… more or less

[Verse 2]
I want less homework, more education
More understanding and less school changing
More studio time, less student loan fines
Less of the stupid stuff I’ve been through my whole life
More rest, more food, more friends, more juice
I don’t want any more steps if I can’t step towards you
I want to love less but I can’t afford to
I need less girls in my life and more dudes
More inspiration for good verse making
Less burnt bacon, less reservations
Except in cases of more dinner places
I wish more things were less in our faces
More hellos, less goodbyes
I’d like to increase successes but lessen tries
I’d like to be a more generous tipper, yo
But it’s hard when you got so much less of this dinero
I want to be more understanding and less of a jerk
I want to be more focused on my deeds than what I get in return
I want to be less a messenger and more often a shooter
I want to be less embarrassed to say “Call me Al Loober!”
I’ve got more wants than I can list
And I wouldn’t be any more or less content if I acquired them
I want more or less of something else; I don’t know what it is exactly
And also really badly

[Hook]

[Interlude]
(sampled from Pride and Prejudice)
"He is rich to be sure, and you would have more fine carriages than Jane, but would that make you happy?"
"Have you no other objection than your belief in my indifference?"
"None at all."

[Verse 3]
I wish Lil Wayne would spit with more depth
I’m cool with the rain, but I wish it would pour less
Less forgetting unless I’m forgiving
Forfeiting has never led to more winning
More money or less places that need it
Less speeding on freeways, more taking the scenic
Less setting and regretting my own success vision
Less depression with the things my time’s invested in
Less offending friends with my awkwardness
Then again, I wish people were bothered less
Less holding real people to being more than human
Less bulling my friends with poor excuses, more good music
Lord, the truth is… I’m a wanting man
And it’s not Your plan to fill the wants we have
But I’m swamped, trapped, my flaws are stacked
Follow my thought track, God, all I ask

[Hook]
