Calvin Johnson - Palriga [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Pearly blended nasty and nice
When you clothes shopped that night I gave in without a fight
I already had too many that week
Unprepared to do battle on so little sleep

I don't care about your other little boys or girls
Snail trail across this town that's your choice and you will
Don't believe you want this to end
Some things seem so natural by your side
Like exploring haunted houses and laying out at night
Staring at the branches and the backlit sky
That moment was complete
Nothing unfilled about it

Other times, blank slate
Slate vain with promise, anticipation
Confusion and desire
Desire and confusion
Since before the beginning
Always start when I hear your name

Gurrr means let's purrrr
It was an awful lot of fun and you seem to concur
Tracing a summer diary
Full of similar scratches
Only deeper, is a proper way to say
Goodbye

Girl playing pear-shaped a ruthless carpet beggar
I'll hope for the former and pray for the latter
Amanda kiss and hug would bore you to death
So please take back all those kind things you said
Hopeless romantic means naked ambition
And sparks fly frantic and naked stays hidden

Such a cold dismissal
Like letting out the cat, blowing on a thistle
You did me a favor by cutting me off
I did myself the embarrassment of showing how soft I could be
A total cave-in
A total cave-in

Your curiosity
Finally
Stared me down

Watching you dissect the other side
Is an endless source of amusement
And pride
You carved your initials on their learning tree
And bored a hole through the arrogant heart of their breed
So many layers covering up what's deep inside
Doesn't keep it hidden from my sight
You're afraid I'll see there's nothing there
But there is
There is

When you conquer that fear
It's gonna be tremendous

So, flowers for a self-made superstar
Don't wait, go and buy yourself a really good cigar
You already have something better than fame
An inner-strength that's growing everyday
Growing everyday

Thanks for the bread
Salt and kindness
If I hit another dead nerve I'll call your highness
When you read this letter aloud
Be careful to emphasize the rusty tune horn half
Beg bittersweet taste of my crown
When it's been tossed around
When it's been used as a testing ground

A girl, a plan, a canal
Palriga
A girl, a plan, a canal
Palriga
A girl, a plan, a canal
Palriga

Palriga tramples through the loneliest of towns
The isolation is tremendous

You be the girl
And you always will
