MARINA (Marina and the Diamonds) - The Family Jewels [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I can't break the cycle, am I just a fool?
Falling down like dominoes, hit by family jewels
Pass it down from kid to kid, shame will never end
'Less I decide to go to it, will I see the end?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ooh, don't you find it strange?
Only thing we share is one last name
Did I beat you at your own game?
Typical of me to put us all to shame

[Chorus]
Welcome to the family jewels
Coal to diamond, sold to fools
Welcome to the family jewels
Simmering sapphire, can't keep his cool
I can't keep my cool
I can't keep my cool

[Verse 2]
Family said that I decided, to live a loveless life
Is it my fault we stay divided? Cause I got too much pride
Pass the parcel, wrap, unwrap, and open up the locks
Out come flying all the secrets of Pandora's box

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, you think I'm unfit
Little did you know that I was cut for it
No glass slipper will ever fit
Cause I could never see a diamond in it

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And when we're in the dark, it echoes in your heart
And when you're far away, it beckons me to stay
And when we're in the dark, it echoes in your heart
And when you're far away, it beckons me to stay

[Chorus] (x2)
