Atlas and the Astronaut - Flight I [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
The story's spread across a sheet of paper
Like a crook without a cause
Twenty-six
Twenty-five
Twenty-four
Now hit the floor
Above the cluster of stick and twigs
I stand with the game rigged
To win
Club in hand
Now it's time to land
This one

[Chorus 1]
Forgive me this day
It was the only way
To get things going

[Verse 2]
Time to board the ship
That's set my path
Underneath the match
Number one
Let's get the ball rolling
Dodge now
They're yelling
Excuses through a heart-snaped piece propelling

[Chorus 2]
To the front of the cockpit
Insert the key and lock it
Among the trapped ones
Pick the kids that's the most beautiful

[Pre-Bridge]
Lift him up
For all the people to see
And they'll

Know that his star is rising
[x2]

[Bridge]
You've got to worship this boy
For you saved his life
Throw your head back
It'll be in the epitaph
Eruption of time and place
Has made this bed a grave

[Chorus 3]
The angels sing
But do you hear it
Don't be surprised
When they come to claim
Linoleum is where the blood was stained
The metronome clicked
And the clock rang
But it's too late
To back out of this fight
The beautiful boy
You've taken his life

[Outro]
And we'll know
That his star is rising
But you've taken his life regardless
