Clive - Quicksilver In The Hand [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

V1:
Set in the exodus of ringtones and messages
Texting your ex’s and you said that it was just a kiss
Messing with my head again, I’m wrestling with everything
I’ve been infected and I’m getting in a wreck--it’s hectic, quick
This chemistry better be left in the dust
If you’re clutched I’ll develop a lust
For your elegant touch that makes the fellas erupt
Letting down my defenses once got my head in a rut
Not that I’m celibate, hon. Just not ready for the drug
That’s injected in the blood when you’re bitten by that bug
I’ve really had enough, just kicked the habit
From that chemical bond that turns us into addicts
So, like a star I'll adore you from afar
Cause the closer that we are the more it hurts to be apart
And since it's just human nature
To give and burn, live and learn and do it later
Best friends can then turn to strangers
Situation stranger hence the danger
We sense when the line is drawn between
Hiding in quarantine and finding a floor to clean
I’m blinded by all I see, trying to cop a plea
But dying cause part of me is finding it hard to flee
Cause you, distinctively sing to me
Your symphony in sync with the imprint of peace
You ink on me, a tatted disease
That poisonous bite might bring a man to his knees
See I’m supposed to skate on that frozen lake
But when you’re close it breaks, and then I float away
So, no more rehearsals and running in circles
It’s time we decided to live in the real world
Come here girl, you can be the moth for a change
And I’ll be the flame that ignites your fall from grace

Chorus:
It’s so innocent in the beginning, but it’s a sham
Got you spinning the cylinder willing to kill a man
But will it last? Building pillars in the sand
It’s love...quicksilver in the hand

V2:
She made it hard to speak so I listened to my heartbeat
Steadily increase in speed, as my heart reached
Out to this girl, standing at the doorway
Destination undetermined--should we go or should we stay?
She said, “I don’t want to go, don’t leave me alone”
Didn’t want to let her go, so I followed my instincts
Even though she was constantly dropping me big hints
She was just another insecure teen, but she
Got me addicted to her like she was made of nicotine
Then it seemed like in a flash of light
We were inseparable, impeccable
And best of all we’d catch our falls when we’d slip
But the greater the love the greater the loss
We played a lot of games but it came at a cost
At the pinnacle of our relationship we came to split
The love bug came and bit, and made us sick
Guess I shouldn’t have been closing my hand
Love scarred us then darted away and broke all our plans
A moment that scammed both of us and slowly had snapped
A photo of past romance on our souls as we danced
The daylight doesn’t belong in the night time
And even though we know we still need something to believe in
Cause like fine wine, true love lasts a lifetime
But summer love doesn’t function in other seasons

Chorus

V3:
I’ll stop to smell the flowers but I also want to plant some
Romance some ladies and maybe get them to dance, jump
Hands up, this feeling I’m really glad to have but
Only cause the door to my inhibitions you slammed shut
We went the distance, she twirled my existence
Into another world--shipwrecked, I’ve been swept
Away by a princess, inflicted with pain
Injection’s infection’s affecting my brain
What a mystical game, this four letter word
A horrible curse that makes a prison look tame
But I’m on this detour, might as well enjoy the scenery
Gonna be with you, whether or not you wanna be with me
Either we turn back…or see where this road leads
Leave the Garden of Eden or see it and grow trees
Cause now it’s caught up in my flesh and it’s got me
Bothered and pondering questions like, should I honour
The affections by calling her hollering at her or
Should I exit? Might want to invest in psychiatric help
Caught her for a while to flirt
Losing my strength as I think of a line to spurt
Using a pen and it’s ink just to try and learn
If she’s a friend or a fling cause the lines are blurred
Crawling in my subconscious, contents are haunting
Launching thoughts of carnage consequently causing
Apocalyptic thoughts in the mind
We try to agree but can’t keep composure
We lie when we scream it's over, bleeding soldiers
In a war that gets colder, seeking closure...
Then the downward spiral begins
And the sounds of the sirens start firing in
Consequences of admiring sin, decided to blend
My crying within with a silent grin. See I admit, it’s...

Chorus
