Lovejoy (band) - Baptism [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: William Gold]
It was a cold comin' we had of it
Just the worst time of the year
And now the sordid want to get in
They don't know the ship is sinkin'

[Pre-Chorus: William Gold & Joe Goldsmith]
But if you play the saviour, will you make me holy?
If you play the saviour, will you make me? (Huh)
If you play the saviour, will you make me holy?
If you play the saviour, will I ever be?

[Chorus: William Gold]
There's blood in the water
You always baptise a little too roughly
You say that I need this
But do I get to disagree?
There's blood in the water
You always baptise a little too roughly
You say that I need this
But do I get to disagree?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: William Gold]
I think at some point, I wanted to do something
Remembering one point I wanted to make a new world
But it's getting too late and the old world has changed
Gettin' out of the hospital, stayin' insane
When I see my reflection, I don't see myself
When I see my reflection, I see someone else

[Refrain: William Gold]
In my heart
In my home
In my heart

[Bridge: Joe Goldsmith & William Gold]
There's blood in the water, there's blood on my shirt (Save me)
When I see my reflection I see someone else, oh
And I don't know if I got it, I don't know it won't hurt
When I see my reflection, it's somebody else, oh
So do I just bore you or something much worse (Save me)
I don't know if I got it to be somebody else
So let it be said, the baptism's over again

[Outro: William Gold & Joe Goldsmith, William Gold]
When he walks, his arms stay by his side
When he talks, his eyes never meet mine
How do I trust him?
