Byron Henderson - The Minimum [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook: Broken Bells sample]
Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many heads to analyze

Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
They want to get up in your head...

[Verse 1: Bless]
Surrounded by sinners
Hop off the porch approached by a menace
Ten minutes go by
You said it's too quiet
It's just serenity
You're Monica but pretend that you're Kim to be
It sickens me that you're even a memory
Won't cope with the gossip
If loyalty to Hali & Valeria is fake
Forget it, I'm an impostor
Even shooters can get shot quick
That's ironic because if you're looking for psychotic
Then I'm not it
Though emo ties to the rise of a God
Animosity slides through a mosh pit
Poverty squashed it
All I hear is silence and all I see are eyes
But they're not on me, so thank God
Good Kid, Mad City
Life or death, are you with me
If you're looking for me
You're in the wrong place to find dude
And you'll figure that out as soon as you stop trying to (So)..

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Bless]
Living my life like I'm living right
In the midst of a lie united with popularity
Probably friendships dying
Without anybody caring to see if their friends are frying
If I'm suicidal again then Monica must be mine
If I'm suicidal I must be hers
Don't hear any spoken words
All I see is a blur
My dude, through all the red-tape and the politics
I'd much rather kill myself than live the lie you did
Without a doubt C-R-N-A-M
Mayhem is taking over
You must be mistaken
For heaven's sake what a waste
Your forsaken soul has a trace of memories in this place
Now it's burning down in your face
Diary of the hated
As I curse you all in Jesus' name
I won't have a leg to stand on and that will ease the pain
Even when society breaks even
I'm owning my moment for life
You couldn't live your life for the moment
Diary of a good kid
Lightest boy with the biggest heart
When I retire from this life
Your dying lies will be the cause of total silence on this earth
Before I die I have to toss Hali & Vale up to the sky
As the kids who never lost
Good Kid, Mad City
Life or death, are you with me
That's scary to me
Please appeal to your peers until you're carried to me
But shots vary to me (What up!)

[Hook]
