Billy Conahan - A Hero's Journey [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Thinking bout you, I wouldn't know where to start
I'll write from the soul, and I'll speak with my heart
Craft a brand new joint, all we need is a spark
Give it a little character, this story an arc

Begin where I left off, Astoria Park
A riverside drive till the sunsets darkens the apartment
Impacting the night, trying to leave it's mark
Want to play the role, but I ain't fit for the part

In all honesty, this open letters no apology
If I bottle it up, it'll only then serve to bother me
Followed my curiosity, led me on this odyssey
Should've seen the signs, read up on my astrology

She said it's not you, it's my psychology
Conscious constantly aware of her anomalies
Not in the picture, but a fan of her photography
I'm Plato to her, but she is no Socrates

No apostrophe, son, she was never mine
Rise and fall like the moon, she was always set to shine
Diamonds in her eyes, dandelion wines
Tattoos, licorice, madness of the summertime

Find me reminiscing of rainy days in June
Wish would never stop, so we wouldn't leave the room
I assumed too much, maybe over ambitious
Often enough the fantasies turn out to be fictitious

So, Miss Mary Mac matching wits with the cat
Running circles the dogs, victory laps
Ya'll know it's like that, I know it's like that
But my heart will reside where the mics at

I hope you hear this then you laugh, and you write back
I hope you hit me where it hurts you know I like that...

Never heard a warning that you gave me
Never bought a record that you played me
All the times I was wishing you would save me
Now I know the one who needs saving

(Chorus)
If you've been where I've been before
If you've been where I've been before
If you've been where I've been before
If you've been where I've been before….then you know (2x)

(Laurie-Anne)
And why'd you make me wait so long, I'm about to lose it
Tell me what I did so wrong, you know I'm only human
Build me up to break me down to ruins
I want you to love meeeeee, like you love my music

(Chorus)
