Dewy McGill - Life's a Trip [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Lost my energy, like a blockage in my chakras
So emotional in thoughts of self, with that I couldn’t prosper
But I realigned my posture and now i live life proper
Hypnotized, with eyes on prize, I live my dream like I’m big poppa
It shocks ya… I know, but man, it shocks me even more
How I switched it up and reach for heights I never thought I’d sore
Took a risk for something more, never fading to a bore
Explored in my mind and found a gift that could allure
Fans, friend, some haters, maybe turn friends into traitors
But the one thing that was greater was I was no imitator
I’m myself and I’m creator; of my realm - I’m dictator
So don’t get all agitated or I’ll serve you all like waiters
And cook up rhymes - my cuisine, for hot bars - I’m a fiend
Had to raise my courage first, inject some self esteem
Dreams – kept me going when I wasn’t real
Now I share those thoughts with you through music y’all can feel

[Chorus] x2
Life’s a trip – you only get it once, never twice
So I'll take a risk, pursue my dreams and claim a better prize
I won't sell my soul, for comfort or your safety
Cause I don’t know the day the reaper’s gonna come and take me

[Verse 2]
I tried to be the guy I thought they wanted… I concealed
The man I knew I was, I left him buried deep and sealed
‘til that breaking point, without a hope, I faced my fears
That had held me back and trapped in that depressive state for years
So call it my mission, to switch the human condition
No inhibition, with intuition, listing hope through all of the wisdom
Where predispositions, we give an incision and an omission
Samskara - all repetition, has been unloaded and now it’s forgiven
I’m living… within a higher frame of consciousness
Every action has reaction, evil has a consequence
No one is anonymous, we are not autonomous
We play our roles together, no one’s subject to a dominance
Ha, and I know it seems like just a fantasy
But can I be the man who somehow makes that our reality
Family’s the core where love is unconditional
But find that love for all and you’ll be closer to a miracle

[Chorus] x 2

[Verse 3]
My father told me once he tried to kill himself and nearly died
I still remember - I sat up that night and really cried
Couldn’t understand how one would try to take their life
Especially when you had a son and daughter needing him to guide
So I tried to show the light to him; heal his pain and pressure
Never knowing what it’s like to suffer in that state - depression
Was it a disease or just a call for more attention?
Or - just a burden manifested by his stress and tension?
But I found the comprehension when I felt that pain myself
And realised it was disconnection from my higher self
No chemical could set me free or put my mind at ease
It’s just I just needed to connect with god and find that inner peace
Please - it hurts me just to try and write this
But I need to do this, so no kids will ever do just like this
Suicide’s no answer you must stay right here and fight this
Realise that you’re eternal before you fade into the whiteness

[Chorus] x 2
