Barenaked Ladies - Aluminum [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
How, in every visible way, you shine
As if the stars in your wake align
Almost impossible to malign
But just below where you shine, you burn
Although I know it, I never learn
Just goes to show that I can't discern

[Chorus]
Aluminum to me
Aluminium to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just Aluminum

[Verse 2]
Illuminating just what you want to show
You'd never rust, but I'd never know
You can't be trusted, I can't let go

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Every time you're here, I forget
When you leave, you leave only regret
Every time you're here, I forget
Everything
You're so lightweight, how can you survive?
Recycling moments from others' lives
You're not as precious as you contrive

[Chorus]

Yeah, you're just Aluminum
