Deflect - Runaway [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Produced by Tone Jonez]

[Intro: Deflect]
Some call it the art of peer pressure
I would go further to say its the crux of human nature
(This is wreckin' me, everyones opinions on me settin' me behind what I know I need to find
This is settin' me behind on the times, livin' in a state of fear like Kim Jong Un rulin' my mind)
All of us usin' up our lives just runnin' around
Feeding insecurities by tearing others down

[Chorus: Deflect & Robert Stanley]
I don't belong here
I don't get it
Pressure surrounds me, I’m going to drown
I don't belong here
You don't get it
Live for approval and die when you lose it
I’m a runaway, I’m a i’m a runaway, I’ma i’ma runaway, I’ma I’ma runaway
I ain't ever gonna stay, Ever ever gonna stay
You can you can getaway, you can you can

[Verse 1: Deflect]
Have you ever had the feeling everybody 'round you turnin' on you?
One minute they pleasin' you, the next they burnin' out you
Everything you do becomes a headline for a tabloid
Like they runnin' a massive stand holdin' all of their noise
Pressure growin' greater round you
Fluctuatin waves of sound surround you
Begins to mentally pound you
Into the sound underground
How i gon' get out?
All i see are fabricated doubts
All about my inability to stay down low
I needa go
Take me away

[Pre-Chorus: Deflect]
Take me far away, take me far away, to a place where i can see, oh where i can see
Show me a new way, show me a new way, livin like this every day is slowly killing me
Why do your words hit me so hard
Why does your view leave me with scars

[Chorus: Deflect & Robert Stanley]
I don't belong here
I don't get it
Pressure surrounds me, I’m going to drown
I don't belong here
You don't get it
Live for approval and die when you lose it
I’m a runaway, I’m a i’m a runaway, I’ma i’ma runaway, I’ma I’ma runaway
I ain't ever gonna stay, Ever ever gonna stay
You can you can getaway, you can you can
(Alright what they sayin' 'bout me now?)

[Verse 2: Deflect]
He said I shoulda broken up with her two years ago
And she said I can't rap because i'm white, so I needa go
And they mad
Cause of somethin' I said
Three years ago
When I was a middle schooler, thinkin' that i was cooler so
People tell me everything they think i should have done
Discontent with my decisions and hatin' what i've become
Their words about me spreadin' like the bubonic
Soon everyone is thinkin' i'm back drinkin' gin and tonic?
I’ve all but lost it

[Pre-Chorus: Deflect]
Take me far away, take me far away, to a place where i can see, oh where i can see
Show me a new way, show me a new way, livin like this every day is slowly killing me
Why does your view leave me with scars
Why do your words hit me so hard

[Bridge: Deflect, Robert Stanley & Monielle]
I don't have to fit into your box
I don't have to be an insider
I don't have to be who you want me to be
I have an audience of one

[Verse 3: Deflect]
I'm never gonna give into your lies
I’m never gonna let you go lead me to my demise
I won't live for approval or acceptance
Cuz then I'd just spend my entire life scramblin' around completing your checklist
But that life ain't mine no more
I won't live under fear of you
Secure in who I am, cause theres Somebody Higher who
Accepts me, directs me, affects me, and met me
And that's Somebody worth livin' for, and not your affections
God, take me there

[Outro: Deflect]
Away, take me far away, to a place where i can see, oh where i can see
Show me a new way, show me a new way, livin' like this every day is slowly killing me
I won't let your view leave me with scars
I won't let your words hit me no more
Everybody’s gonna have somethin' to say
No matter what they do, they,re just gon' talk anyway
Forget them. I won't live for them

[Spoken interlude: Deflect]
If you have a problem with the way I act, bring it to my face
Don't just sit around and gossip about my past disgrace
The culture you've formed of secret hatred should
Give you a clue as to why I'm so misunderstood
