Deca - Surface Tension [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I was just lounging
Staring at the clock, right?
I could feel the world turn
Burn when it got right
Something came over me
Through me, splattered on a loose sleeve
Profusely, the youth need
To follow where the truth leads
I’ve walked the wild side with no read
With demons pitching pills for dirt cheap
Saying, “I’ve got what you need.”
Low down dirty sinful
Heavy bankroll
Worked every angle
Converse with angels
They say these are the end days
A time of retribution
We point to the sky
And chart the planet’s movements
But can’t measure the cause and effect of thoughts
And would rather stargaze the night away
And play connect the dots
Or watch Asher Roth child on the Magnavox
And all your favorite rappers throwing up the rock
I’m at a loss
It’s not a diss it’s more
Dismissive of big business
Not in my interest

[Hook]
The night I was born
The Moon turned to fire red
My poor mother cried, “the Gypsy was right”
And she fell down, right down baby

[Verse 2]
Yep we’re mislead
We don’t get a bad genre for walking the cliff’s edge
Either wind up dead or sick in the head
Get your mind right
Infinite potential but the physical is finite
I’ll stick a needle in the all seeing eye
Release the most high, that you beasts demonize
We all fall and rise
Alter our lives
And tear down the walls of your large enterprise
My mind’s eye’s opening wide
Catch a fork-tongued demon by the tail
But all joking aside
I do not make deals with devils
Soul rebel
The Moon’s a fiery red
It’s raining rose petals
And everything’s dreamlike
Everything’s changing
The fisher of souls will pull a shark out the main stream
I’m maintaining
I was cool and now I’m staring at the clock and got lost in a daydream

(uh huh) x 3

[Hook]
The night I was born
The Moon turned to fire red
My poor mother cried, “the Gypsy was right”
And she fell down, right down baby

[Verse 3]
In the belly of the beast
Where police on a centipede
Creep in the street
Then they reach for their piece and squeeze
And then the enemy is gonna sleep
When they see an enemy’s in the deep
I’m in need of release
When the evil feeds on the meek
Gotta keep both feet on the ground
Speak through the beats that pound
Coveting a district, city, and town
Hold me down
If you don’t hold me down
Put these devils in a hole in the ground
Unholy ground
Take a look around
Tell me what the world needs now
I was just lounging, I could feel a turn
I could feel it breathing deep
Universal man, with the world in the palm of your hands
Now’s no time to sleep
(wake up)
