David Dilin - Penny For Your Thoughts [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: David Dilin]

If ever I could find
Another girl whose rhyme scheme's similar to mine
Then I would pay a dollar for a quarter with this dime
And give her a penny for her thoughts and ask her what she's bought
With so much intelligence
What kind of house would you buy? Are you a resident
In a gated community with the president?
Or are you humble enough to buy a place
And give the rest to the less fortunate?
I mean knowledge is your currency
And you're the richest female I've met, currently
She'd pause for a sec'
But I would still feel the heavy ricochet of her each and every word in me
The silence was hurting me
Until I realized that she was just a thought that had occurred in me
Blush is red so my cheeks did the best they could do
With the red hues in burgundy

[Hook]

Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me what you've got, just don't leave me empty
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me what you've got, just don't leave me empty

[Verse 2: David Dilin]

And she'd say, "What are your thoughts? What are your instincts?
Everybody's full of 'em, but you look so empty
Where's the inspiration? What compels you?"
I gave her four plan words, "I can't tell you."
She wouldn't understand the abstractions of my thought process
The contents, the food for thought that's
Present on my table, but then she'd
Quickly switch the subject to some said fable
She'd label me a rock that could not be broken
I'd take it as a compliment. It really was the opposite
She'd tell me I have an unreached token
And it's unreachable because I won't become open
The fable was of Moses when he stuck his faith out
And put his staff upon the rock and watched the water rain out
"You've got so much potential, a streaming flow of water
But you'll just stay a rock if you refuse to talk your thoughts."

[Hook]

Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me what you've got, just don't leave me empty
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me your thoughts, I'll give you a penny
Give me what you've got, just don't leave me empty

[Verse 3: David Dilin]

And she'd say, "What are your thoughts? What are your instincts?
Everybody's full of 'em, but you look so empty
Where's the inspiration? What compels you?"
I gave her one plain word: Truth
