Clive - Still Breathing [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

V1:
Life
VI never thought I'd ever long for a better one
Was better off when I wasn't fond of anyone
Cause those we love will leave us choking up and seething
For the past when they leave us, ghosts among us beating hearts so fast
We can feel them reaching out when we're alone and that's
Something I hope will last
These droopy eyes are as huge as the moon tonight
Illuminate the room with light, still they'd produce a gloomy sight
Brooding, right? Yet I keep it moving cause I choose to fight
Throw on my raincoat and start climbing up the highest mountain
Crying out to fly over the rainbow
A naive outcome, now I'm counting down the days till death taps on my shoulder
But cause I know it's worse on the other side, it holds me sober
Yet when putting things in perspective just doesn't work
You realize that pain is relative, that I'm relatively assured
Might go for a little dip, a bit of a swim never hurt
Unless I decide to never rise to the surface
But would it make a difference? I'm unsure
Cause ever since you left I find it hard to breathe

V2:
It's okay
Let me go, let me float down the ocean
Let the foam surround me soaking every bone
Any moment now I'll close my eyes and go
Where the angels call…
If I jump, will you break my fall
And save me from this anger and these painful thoughts? Distraught;
Take me far away before I face the rocks, I'm afraid I may just drop
But I don't, cause I know you wouldn't want me to
Cloaked in the most bittersweet moment
The choking weight of a roaming neurosis clashed with a hope for growth
Vision losing focus. What is there really more to do?
There's only so much youth I can afford to lose
It's pouring and you aren't there to stop the storm
Like you used to, I walk in your shoes for you
And people think I've locked and stored
Those awful thorn roses in my cerebrum and closed it
But the truth is I'm bruised
On the inside but since I love you what's ironic is
I'd never trade these memories in for a spotless mind
But all that I can think of now is how a quick drive
Ended in you watching life slip by in a chopper ride
But then I check my pulse, still here
Check myself, 'there there, get down from this pier'
I'm not proud that I'm here and you wouldn't be either
But either way, before I leave here I just mean to say I miss you
