Guante & Big Cats - If It Bleeds, It Leads [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

It started in the east, so we headed southwest
Dust in our veins, something to pray to
Flyin’ ‘round circlin’ without rest: vultures’ wings on our angels
Stay tuned to the static, life in my backpack twenty five years
Time passes this could be a dance if we weren’t all alone
Callin’ home but nobody’s there to panic
Just keep movin’, use the head start
Blood to my brain no time for the heart
Just flow on our own, keep headed for the sunset
‘cause that sunrise keeps comin’ up dark
These lungs are parched, breathe in the evenin’
Sharp as the summer now my feet won’t stop bleedin’
And I can’t help but think that eastern horizon would love a drink
I always saw the skyline as the teeth of a devilfish
And the full moon as the bait; now we swim from a broader grin
We run, we do not look back, we escape
On foot, on bicycle on horseback
On to the end by any means necessary
And we could tell those whom we pass by everything we know
But we don’t and I don’t know why
Eventually they’ll catch it on the news
And scream, or drop their dinners
Or lock their doors, or get their kids dressed
Or start their cars or cross their fingers
And those of us who had people on the inside
Won’t have to hear it from a well-dressed stranger
Struggling to hold back tears on the TV
Before the signal is lost completely

And I just want to go home
But my home is haunted
And my heart is weak
My boughs are broken, cradle is fallen
But take my coffin, set it on fire
To warm this night and light this road
And if I should catch a bad one
Rig my body with an IED so I can go home
I just want to go home
But my home is haunted
I just want to explode
In the name of progress
In the name of God
Break my bones and grant them sharpness
Cut my face and make me the most beautiful
Creature in this darkness
