Clive - Exordium [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Push me in 'til I can't find
My way out, defenses breached
Under siege
I will cash in these chips tonight
Join the choir I can't see. Follow my lead
And I'll leave

Tabula rasa, a thing of the past
Don't think of bringing it back, only a blink it can last
And after that, no sink and no bath can get us cleaned
And we'll only feel serene when we get to sleep; rest in peace
I wonder if I slumber long enough if I'd go under
If the pain is numbed, I'd never have to suffer
Under the blanket covers, gone are my scabs and blunders
If I just had the courage that could be the answer, huh?
Well, I shudder at the fact I'm even entertaining the thought
Cause we think, therefore we are and that's the dangerous part
Life is a game that has taught us to be afraid of tomorrow
Fearing the day that will call us to pay back change that we borrowed
A whole arcade filled with quarters we can never retrieve
Like time... will it ever be free?
Instead of blaming the author, I'll keep penning sixteen's
And take away the pain I foster whenever I need to get some relief
So here I stand, my last resort
Trading glances back and forth with the mirrored man, I slam the door
Scared and torn cause I carry more weight than I've had before
The day that my paramour waited for me to save her and then perished
All in vain because I dared to forge a sword using the fire and earth, Aries and Capricorn
Awake with Captain Morgan sailing with no map in store
A vagabond inculcating my impulse lately
Through the corridor into my room bordered by these corners I sit
Dormant inside my torment and sip Coronas
Hoping to get some holiness in the midst of my loneliness
Only to slip down in the rabbit hole
Knowing that I'll get out when I travel home
Just hoping these smoke and mirrors will disappear for a moment clear
It's getting colder in here, the angels are closer, nearer
Hold me, carry me home. I'm almost there
