Hiatus - Off To The Races [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro-Lana Del Rey]
You're lying with your gold chain on
Cigar hanging in your lips, I said "Hun
You never looked so beautiful
As you do in that moment"

[Hook]
And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now we're going in
To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin
Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe
You are my one true love, you are my one true love

[Verse 1]
Told myself I was done, no need to revisit
But I couldn't resist the urge to rub your nose in it
You were the key to my happiness, I changed the lock
So your last ditch effort to turn me never touched my heart
See life is a race, knew what I wanted from the start
And knew from the day we met, I wanted you to be a part
But I never predicted that we'd fall all apart
I'd I'd lose a part that I didn't need all along
You hit me, thinking I'd come back of course
So I hang up saying it could never be the same as before
So you text me angry, you're not in love anymore
And I'd believe it, but see I'm not on drugs anymore
But you are and they're holding tight as ever
Maybe that's why you still see me in your forever
But if happiness is the finish line then I beat you there
So karma must be real cuz since we broke up he ain't treat you fair

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Remember our bad breakup? Rapped about it in every song
If I'm honest with myself I stayed down for too long
Threatened suicide, was crazy about you
Funny how some space made me forget all that crazy around you
Should've left you where I found you, whipped over him
No, take that back, made me the man that I am
Molded into a new shape by your torturous hand
Turned me into a new, better person and man
All those nights I spent, sleepless and stressful
"Just drinks with your girls, staying faithful"
Wish I could've never known the devil that had got into you
Slept with three people, two girls and one dude
Your rationale says 'truth or dare, plus drunk out my head'
So for some reason you don't see the wrong that you did
And I'm completely stunned from that
Took it to a place where there was no coming back
On the phone, you just want the old us back
All I can think is I wish I could get my cum back
On and rebound and get back in the game
And I did, found a fiery new flame
With red hair that could burn a man to ashes
Who appreciates everything in me you took for granted
If happiness is the finish line I beat you there
Always thought that when you put the baggage down I'd meet you there

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
You want me back, want one last kiss
But the man that loved you, he no longer exists
Patched up the wounds, now I'm showing off scars
And pulling the shrapnel up out of my heart
Friends in disbelief, still I ain't ever dissed her
Like C'mon let her have it, she left you for your sister
Na, no need, my happiness is the best revenge
Cuz see I found mine, but she ain't found her's yet
Eight bars left, but this time it'll kill you
Cuz you still blame me for doing what I had to do
Threatened restraining orders, said I was after you
Don't understand that I'm happier after you
If happiness is the finish line I beat you there
And honest to God I no longer care
Cuz love changes, a thug changes
And soul-mates become strangers, word up

[Hook]
