Clive - Last Legs [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Another year's passing by and these tears haven't dried
But I'm just thankful I'm still here and alive
Analyzed my position and pushed the fear to the side
And reappeared with a vision to put the keys in the ride
Shifting my gears and go drive, steering my wheels with new tires
Bearing in mind it's natural to go through perilous times
See, we are only alive for a few decades
So, we gotta try to survive them through headaches
Chest pain and stress and just sustain the pressure
In this chess game with every piece that we are supplied
Trying to maintain the pace of peace against the pace of war
Instead of bleeding and dying rather believe I can rise
Everybody's telling me that sky's the limit
Kinda nice to think it but I'm still trying to get above ground
I've signed sealed and delivered these tired miserable feelings
I've lied dormant but it's time to get on up now
Pushing on through the loss pain and Kubler-Ross stages
Looking on to the future, dark days are gone
Silent tension remains, but soon the song will fade in strong
And paintings will start changing colours later on
From the bluest shades to the most lucid of rays
On a beautiful day, that feeling you've been waiting on
Sunlight on the snow, fire and ice
The balanced contrast in life inspires my desire to fight
Focusing my eyes on the sights high as a kite
Dying for flight in the quiet of night
Silence is quite deafening when you're listening with a rioting mind
Wrestling trying to find a vessel to lessen the cries
Testing your head and assessing your plight, questioning why
Then remembering we're destined to die
And the rest of your life just isn't quite as festive
Especially when you recognize death is nigh
But are we selfishly blessed in disguise like an animal left in the wild
To die so you and I get to survive
I guess we assign roles to ourselves so our souls can be self-satisfied
Living the saddest lies till we're older and frail
Noticing there life passed us by and I
Know it's unfair cause time is death's sidekick..
So I'm just trying to get by quicker than a geek filing in line for the next sci-fi flick
But I'll pace myself cause patience helps
To bring some restoration in the face of hell
Well, some say my flows are too emotional where's the bravado
They ask me if I'd like a baby bell with my Frappato
I just choose to use my music for therapy I don't
Care you're not hearing it those who feel it will cherish it, I know
Now that I know how it feels to hit rock bottom
It's a lot harder to bring me back down
So I talk in past tense, I was on my last legs now I'm a millipede
My remedy came down from the heavens seeing sounds
With my inner eye, minimized my enemies I'm getting by
On what my pen applies, and my energy
Lonely hearts masqueraded with
Closing scars and happy faces it's
Growing dark and cats are raining
But I'm holding on to what I oughta to smash the pain to bits
Cause even if your heart's unavailable for a while
You should still be able to smile, I've awakened the child inside
Chasing my trials goodbye, and tribulations been replaced with desires to climb
Higher than the fire burning inside of me a permanent drive
Only concern is dying of cyanide
So, when the fog is faded to and I'm on top of things
We'll take the Big Smoke and coma city as compliments
Cause I'm autonomous on the mic with a chronic itch to
Spit with common sense topped off with an honest edge
Every sonnet penned is like talking myself off the ledge
So when I stop to rest I look like the walking dead
A zombie wandering on and on in the fog
My relationship with mental stability is on and off again
We've reached the opposite end of where the song begins
And my face is growing long, so just play this song again
