Jay Young - Glass House [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1] (MikelWJ)
I think I've got a drinking issue, or is it a thinking issue?
Or is it a thinking leads to drinking leads to sinking issue?
Go ahead walk in my shoes, take a look at all that I do
And tell me then if you think I'm weak, like you already do
When the whole world's leaning on me, telling me they know that I'll lose
That's when I took all my hate, and threw it down on these fools
And I've been told that nice guys always finish last
So I keep my heart colder than every winter past
And in return, I'll live a life filled with loneliness
And no one in this room truly will know what lonely is
And I've been cursed; I can never open up to them
That's why I drink like I never had a single friend
So if you see me, don't ever make an assumption
Turn and walk away, I'm just trying to function
So I can sit here in solitude with no way out
And throw all these fuckin' pebbles at my glass house

[Hook] (Jay Young)
Yeah, I've been alone, struggled on my own
I've been to Hell and back, welcome to my home
If you've been the same, you are not alone
I've been there with you, for me it's not unknown
Even though I'm living it up everywhere I go
I'll never forget about the times that I was feeling low
You got a friend in me, if you can feel me
I'll walk with you on this boulevard of empty streets

[Verse 2] (Jay Young)
Problems rising every day, I gotta put them down
But it's getting harder to ignore they're gaining ground
Too many popping up, it's hard to deal with some
So I'm only focused on getting rid of the smaller ones
The bills are piling up, they'll topple any minute
So I'm focused on a nine to five, I'm all up in it
No friends outside of school, there's no time for that
All I have is school, work and sleep, with some rap
And if the nine to five doesn't work out in the end
It's back to the fields to start this hustle up again
Man of the house, the pressure's right on top of me
Cuz my sisters' eyes are always looking out for me
So if they see me fall, then they'll fall too
What kind of model would I be if I let that come true?
I gotta get it man, no distractions in my head
There's no time for breaks, I can rest when I'm dead

[Hook] (Jay Young)
Yeah, I've been alone, struggled on my own
I've been to Hell and back, welcome to my home
If you've been the same, you are not alone
I've been there with you, for me it's not unknown
Even though I'm living it up everywhere I go
I'll never forget about the times that I was feeling low
You got a friend in me, if you can feel me
I'll walk with you on this boulevard of empty streets

[Verse 3] (Jay Young)
Broken promises I can't keep, what's up with that
I'm turning into a liar, but I can't fight it back
Bouts of depression, sadness, anger
They all cloud my mind, I feel like I'm in danger
From myself, too many people let down
I know I promised you I'd take you to the fairgrounds
I wanna treat you right, cuz you lived my life
You went through everything I did, in a different light
You had your own problems, some I can't explain
But you and me, both, we're no strangers to pain
We're connected, bonded by traumatic events
Side effects and casualties of our heritage
I just wanna hold you close, we can work it out
An overdose of happiness, I don't have a doubt
That you and me can move together from our past
And leave behind our houses made out of glass

[Hook] (Jay Young)
Yeah, I've been alone, struggled on my own
I've been to Hell and back, welcome to my home
If you've been the same, you are not alone
I've been there with you, for me it's not unknown
Even though I'm living it up everywhere I go
I'll never forget about the times that I was feeling low
You got a friend in me, if you can feel me
I'll walk with you on this boulevard of empty streets
