G, The Wiz - My Light [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus: Chloe Chaidez]
Maybe on a Sunday night, pop music in the acid light
I remember when your sister died, slow motion on the satellite
I remember I was lying in my bedroom, wishing that a love would come to me
Flesh for fantasy

[Verse One: G, The Wiz]
I should’ve known better when you told me
Said you were sick
Don’t worry, shit happens
I don’t think you can never ever lose me
Damn, that much is true
Because every single night I still think of you
Your mom, dad, and sis they all miss you
I really wish this never had to be true

Take me back to the time when we felt alive
Lost in crime
In the Arizona crash where we both survived
And something in the stars made us align
Despite the fact that opposites attract
It was 2002 after 9/11 attacks
I had the kind of skin that got blamed for that
But we were in love with scars to match
That we came from a past not many would have
You saw me through my collar painted blue and a hat
You were the kind of girl raised rich in a high class
We began to see a life where our love would soar past
Every politician spitting fear from loose facts
Just because they rage war who the fuck said I’m like that?
That didn’t even matter by the time we got back
We lived like strangers down in sunny SoCal
I guess who were afraid what they’d think of you
And even if you said a word it’d be to late too…
I’m sorry on my life that I couldn’t save you

I’m sorry

[Chorus: Chloe Chaidez]
Maybe on a Sunday night, pop music in the acid light
I remember when your sister died, slow motion on the satellite
I remember I was lying in my bedroom, wishing that a love would come to me
Flesh for fantasy

[Verse Two: G, The Wiz]
And to be quite frank
Sometimes I think the world didn’t have to know
Just how the story of our love will go
They always ask me if had a girlfriend
What does it matter; those friends are lose ends
Why the fuck does he write about girls he never met
But if you knew me, know I’m not full of it
All that bullshit nonsense
I had a good girl but the stars they fought
Put us in a tight spot so they can test the lot
Two young kids lost in a wild pool of thoughts
As the world ticked on like the hands of clock
I still get chills when the car engine shot
I knew you knew then I did what was best
If I had better grip I would’ve put it to rest
It was at the high curb I knew I wasn’t that blessed

Ten years later at the scene of the accident
I recall every sense it sticks like magnets
The hate crimes live and I just cannot stand it
And like sea shells I could hear the sirens
I touched my lips I could taste the iron
Thoughts come back I could hear you crying
I wish you would’ve said that you were dying
It’s your story that got the fame, but still

[Chloe Chaidez]
(They don’t even know your name)
(They don’t even know your name.)

Rest in peace

This is my eulogy
I’ve lived a long life as I reach my thirties
Sometimes I hold back on being flirty
I’m still the same, but a little less lonely
I went to Spain and I went to Paris
You came along and it felt like magic
My heart it floods like Monday traffic
When I think of us and how we had it
If I met you sooner, could’ve kept you safer
But the odds of that were not in our favour
The world itself is in constant danger
No trust in the man on the morning paper
I still fear that my skin puts me in danger

They say love is the finest when you least expect it
Between goals in life it’s not an easy target
So if you have it good never try to abandon
You see I loved you so I put you first
You’re the only one who knew me at my worst
Your smile never gave me a second chance to guess it
But damn, I really do miss it
