Cecil Otter - Le Facteur [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Do you feel like no one needs you?
Do you feel like all the joy is gone?
When a bitter dream, cracks through your grinning mask:
Look beyond the shattered pieces
And clear the wreckage

[Verse 1]
I got a closet full of broken legs that I don't wanna stand on
It's planned wrong. It's like, "I don't understand, Mom."
The same, sad song and dance gone awry, on demand
On the fly, cross the land, by and by, ride or die
Left high and dry, run into the sandbar
Praying for a high tide or a run-in with the land shark
A landmark, anything that signifies a hope
That I'll be going back to charting open water. I can taste it
Face it. It's time to let the birds out of their cages
I'm out of my patience. I ain't seen a lighthouse in ages
Pages are cluttered, I'm undercover
Wishing for a lover, while I'm singing for my supper, like:

[Hook]
And she dances like the ocean
By candlelight. A fan of my devotion
A phantom of the floating opera
And she honored my system
But I'm the victim
She brought a pax on my wisdom

[Verse 2]
Blood-drunk with an incurable hangover
And I'm unsure if I'll stay sober
It's like, I know it ain't over
Your heart belongs to me now, but it's certain to change owners
And it's that strange odor, more than fishy
That's got me warped and shifty, fishing in a lost cause
Lock, stock, and two smoking earlobes. Some third-grade De Niro
With a hero complex, zeroed in and singing
And dancing, for the bullets flying at my feet
While I feed her hunger, she's harassing me
But I turn it around, casually
Light a match and watch her laugh-factory burn to the ground

[Bridge] x2
She holds that pose, where no grass grows
Just a cold black rose, on an old back road

[Hook 2]
And she dances like the ocean
By candlelight. A fan of my demotion
A phantom of the floating opera
And she honored my system
But I'm the victim
She brought a pax on my wisdom
And she dances like the ocean
By candlelight. A fan of my devotion
A phantom of the floating opera

[Outro]
Why should we be at such desperate haste to succeed?
And in such desperate enterprises?
Look beyond the shattered pieces
And clear the wreckage
