Jordan Miché - Tiger Sharks [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

No matter how hard
He tries to fight it
He’s a broken man
Crucified
To the phone poles

Upside down
Blue sky
Becomes sidewalk
As the wires and the crows
Become numbers

Playing hopscotch

Watching as the planet
Climbs a rope
Into the sun

In his eyes
Flies a dragon
Breathing fire
Through its lungs

With a broken halo
As a weapon
He slices the rope
As gravity
Claims its victims

White trash
With a magnifying glass
To the diameter of pi
One kilometer
Up in the sky

He’s out to burn the world down
He’s going blind
And he can’t stop
Staring at the sun

We pass through time
As children in the swimming pool
Try to reverse its flow
And watch how quickly
It turns into ice

Raindrops become bullets
Grass becomes razorblades
People become statues
As the wind slashes at your face

Frustrated

Kicking at the dirt
As it breaks his toe
In this box of glass
And he can’t
Punch through the window

With bloody broken fists
It’s like he doesn’t exist
Naked in a trance
On a bed of nails

He sits and waits

All the cherries gone
Nothing left
Except the pits
He ate

Sitting at the table
Of the saints
He hates to say their names

Puking up the hate
They take his plate away
Ashamed

To show his face
He’s too disgraced
To try and cover up his nails

Pull me from this rose bush
Bathe me in lemonade
This barbed-wire crown is so rusty
The floor is dusty

Plus
She took my gun away
I can’t escape this wall of lava
Want to run away

Derail this train of thought
And rot
In a sunny grave

The rum tastes funny today
Just ask this tummy ache

Destiny and Fate intertwined
Love
Hate
The mistakes made

The hurt face
The dirt taste
The worms as they slave
To make these earthquakes

Burn
Baby burn
Smoke it to the fiberglass
And light it with a pay stub

Wake up
Silly clown
Where’s your makeup?

That piss drunk monkey
On the cymbals
Says he hates love
And wants a refund

Face the mistakes that you made
Stare in the bottom of the barrel
And you’ll find
The tiger sharks ate your reflection

Face the mistakes that you made
Stare in the bottom of the barrel
And you’ll find
The tiger sharks ate your reflection

Face the mistakes that you made
Stare in the bottom of the barrel
And you’ll find
The tiger sharks ate your reflection

Face the mistakes that you made
Stare in the bottom of the barrel
And you’ll find
The tiger sharks ate your reflection

Face the mistakes that you made
Stare in the bottom of the barrel
And you’ll find
The tiger sharks ate your reflection

Face the mistakes that you made
Stare in the bottom of the barrel
And you’ll find
The tiger sharks ate your reflection
