Dimitri & The Scarecrow - Knots [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

KNOTS
Written by Dimitri D. Kwenda

Intro:
(Harmonies) whisper:
Close your eyes, visualize, come alive, inner eye..(x3)...
Imagination...
Become...

Verse 1: Dimtri
Close your eyes and try to visualize
Freeze the time then materialize
Bring your life into a fringe of hope
And let it break the failures to which you're roped
I know that there's a place where you go
You don't struggle to cope no, you hold your own
It's not an easier place, a tough knot to hold
Claw your way up, be bold and strong
But you open your eyes and you realize
Unexpected upsets in your life
You try to improvise and try to stay in line
Summon your strength again in a sigh
And for the record, I see your effort
I believe you'll get there in your persistence
I know the long road you're walking on
I'd throw the tow rope to tow you home
Yet, here is something you've got to do
Alone with no one else helping you
Tired muscles but grit your teeth
A defining struggle never for the weak
Trust in yourself, have self-belief
You won't need the help you seek desperately
RELY ON - your shoulders
STRIVE ON! - Soldier

Chorus:
For dreams ahead oh I find... (Knots)
Knots deep
I cannot keep these down (morsels)
Morsels of misery to clowns
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't be a piece so weak a fiend
To leave your dreams bequeathed to greed...



Verse 2
The shimmering glitter, the envy of all hopefuls
The daydreams lost in the shadow of potential
Magazines, television, radio, society
The rioting passion in desire for immortality
Just to freeze life in the eternity of memories
To achieve just to die clenching a fist of victory
Sacrifice, a chance you can't capture twice
Passing life hoping to catch an erratic spotlight
In the plurality of the demands of fame
Where stylistic fashioning is in a constant trade
The stakes will know the wind from eternal lungs
All consuming in consideration to none
Stun the unsuspecting sons of complacency
Serendipity is luck that won't suffice adequately (CONFLICT)
...between majority and priority
We as MCs are merely state property
Subject to the greed, indebted to the need
The excellence achieved in an amalgam of these
Poetry in motion, we're battling emotions
Rattling these bones in the hope we're going to bring home
And under the pressure we become the most impressionable
The power of demand antagonizes obligation
The life of a role model is not fulfilling
To be true to yourself stand against the tide of opinion

Chorus (x2)

SELF BELIEF WILL UNTIE THE KNOTS - THE STRENGTH OF THE DREAM
DON'T LET YOUR MIND STOP (x2)

SELF BELIEF WILL UNTIE THE KNOTS - HARNESS YOUR DREAM
DON'T LET YOUR MIND STOP (x2)
