Alex Schechter - Parade [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I did it on my own
No agent
But I’m booking shows
I’m just reflecting on
What I started long ago
Friends in the crowd
Fam in the crowd
Never really spoke
But damn, they can hear me now
Catch me in my city
Man I love my city
It taught me how to live
That dirty water is so damn filthy
You gotta work hard ya and
Your time will come
I guess I’m next up
Just waiting to see what I will become


(Hook)
See those hands sway
See those hands wave
As we lift em up
This is our parade

Lift your hands higher
Let our dreams amaze
As we lift em up
This is our parade

[Verse 2]
I’ve been writing verses
I’ve been taking courses
But I’m living in a dream
And making my life worth it
Who are you to say
That this isnt me
Who are you to say
That I can’t just be me
I turn haters
Into celebrators
I always give 100
But I know my music can be greater
It’s my drive
It’s my passion
What gets me through
And if you’ve been following
I just want to say thank you
So we go hard
And we always will
Never forget the past
But we live for the thrill
Of being on stages
And always going harder
So when we blow up
We won’t forget who we are
Because this parade
Is what helped us through
It was the light in our tunnel
And why we still pursue
But I found what I love
And I found what I want
So I picked up a pen
And I tried writing songs


See those hands sway
See those hands wave
As we lift em up
This is our parade

Lift your hands higher
Let our dreams amaze
As we lift em up
This is our parade

[Verse 3]
Back then I was broke then
Still kinda hard to comprehend
The struggles we had to go through
Another day ya
Another dead end
Now my times are spent
With a piece of paper and my favorite pen
Trying to find the right verse
And use it as an excuse so I can vent
This is what I always dreamt
Told myself I’d be content
But it isn't easy
When your true love doesn’t pay the rent
Lost a lot of friends
Woke up looking for a trend
Decided I’d try poetry
Shit
Look how that went
Have you ever been so in love
That you can’t see straight
Trying to find the right excuse
To make it seem ok
Boston you raised me
Atlanta you made me
Who I am today yes
And everyone else is family
So we parade
Gather in the streets
Let’s live in the moment
Party on the concrete
So we parade
Gather in the streets
Let’s live in the moment
Party on the concrete


See those hands sway
See those hands wave
As we lift em up
This is our parade

Lift your hands higher
Let our dreams amaze
As we lift em up
This is our parade
