Marlon Craft - MARATHON [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
You know, I always listened to music that brought me back to a moment in time
'Cause I think the game is such an emotional one
That I always tended to listen to music that brought me to a moment in time in which I had a certain emotion
Whether it was calm, whether it's excited, excitement or whatever
You know, that's what music does for me
It's not just listening to music just to listen to music, but it—
Whether the music's gonna put me in the right emotional setting that I feel is important for that day

[Verse 1]
'Cause I been dreamin' of еpiphanies, hopin' that they get to mе
On my shoulders, mini-mes garnerin' my sympathy
All they want is love, yeah
I know that's enough now
Used to think I needed enemies, just wanted some empathy
Turns out, I actually am tough as I pretend to be
Found it in the love, yeah
I know I'm enough now

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause what's a feelin' but a moment? Yeah
All these feelings I was holdin' in
Baby, that's just time lost
Baby, that's a high cost
'Cause what's a feelin' but a moment?
So I been out here tryna own it, shit
Promise I'm gon' try hard
But my God

[Chorus]
Yeah, everybody get tired in a marathon, yeah
But we gotta carry on
Thank God it's a marathon
Lot of baggage in that carry-on, yeah

[Verse 2]
I done lost so many moments to the anger
Tryna cover up the places where the pains were
Fight or flight of soul, mine always felt in danger
Life dealt me a hand, I just said, "Bet," but truth is
I ain't wanna wager, I need me a sure thing
So I bet on me now, baby, I'm maturing
Holes in my soul, they was cryin' out for nurturing
Had to let go of all the judgment that the world bring
And sing it one time, yeah
Your voice don't always sound like how you thought when you find it
You only get one clock, it don't stop, can't rewind it
You carry on with baggage 'til you realize you the pilot
I'm looking in the mirror on some fly shit
There's certain things in life I wanted faster 'til I realized it's all about timing
Failure come, it's all about tryin'
Ain't no ticket to life, you can't buy it

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause what's a feelin' but a moment? Yeah
All these feelings I was holdin' in
Baby, that's just time lost
Baby, that's a high cost
'Cause what's a feelin' but a moment? Yeah
So I been out here tryna own it, shit
Promise I'm gon' try hard
But my God

[Chorus]
Yeah, everybody get tired in a marathon, yeah
But we gotta carry on
Thank God it's a marathon
Lot of baggage in that carry-on, yeah
