Josh Joplin - Half A Century High [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

In the tube where I was born
I could have sworn
There was so much to see
There was so little left to be
But I was free
World at my command
Through the dots I ran
Looking for a man
That looked like me

And now it can be told
I'm a quarter of a century old
But I'm a half a century high

In the tube where I was grown
I was alone
The figure on the floor
The dream behind the door
The sound was low
Ballgame on the street
Disappeared behind my feet
Out of breath my heart would beat
To see a show

And now it can be told
I'm a quarter of a century old
But I'm a half a century high

In the tube where I was killed
I was fulfilled
The lies of light would bend
I'd stare until the end
And then again
Fascinated by the fad
I gave all the mind I had
And whenever I was sad
I had my friends

And now it can be told
I'm a quarter of a century old
But I'm a half a century high
