MC Crae - The Lake of Hell (Living In The Shadows) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse I]
Where have I been/Where am I going/What have I done?
What is my name/who are my friends/where am I from?
What is this place/What is my character/Why am I shunned?
What am I doing? How am I playing the part, why am I wrong?
I have been hiding in the shadows a little too long
Somebody came into the woods and pulled me out with they prongs
Somebody forced the melody of a stupid song
Inside my head, until the day the earth is gone
But until that day comes, I’ll have to avoid the traps
I’ll be paranoid of that/which is the noise of phat
I’ll be the boy of the poster/In which destroys the notion
That its okay to blaze the maryjane that employs commotion
In which obliterates the beautiful view that is the ocean
That commandeers the probs of peers and toys with emotion
You want it here? No problem dear/I know that its gross man
In the lake of hell is the place you fell just because you dipped your toes in

[Hook]
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside


[Verse II]
So I came home/rose from the lake/back in the shadows
Everybody there looked at me different/reacted a hassle
No acceptance just the difference that ruffled the tastles
But nobody talked/I simply walked/march back to my castle
In my mind I tackled the consequence of what happened
There were burns on the arms which turn came from the lake in which I sat in
And I guess that the people of the land of the shadows didn’t patent
The engagements that I made to graze and blaze that I practiced
It became a nuisance/I became so stupid
So I took the bruising/And created a blueprint
To get my life on track/My time was gone and back
Underwent a modification/Coming back in a Pontiac
Asking how hard is that? Let me tell you life’s not simple
Old friends judge and treat you left bleeding/a popped pimple
I made a mistake and I can’t hide in the ground/underneath it like a limbo
But if I look forward I can have a better thing to be life’s symbol

[Hook]

[Verse III]
Let me tell you what the stories all about
Sometimes we make decisions other people like to doubt
Sometimes we don’t know how but we end up in collisions
And living without a conscience and no one can be responders
Yeah/And that’s a problem with the people
We make one mistake can’t see each other as equals
And we elevate ourselves above em/we on a steeple
We try to look in other’s eyes but we too high to ever see em
But if we don’t/we could slip into a silence
Not out of choice/out of other’s mental violence
See ourselves as a giant/the other person tiny
But we all just too stubborn to love another and combine it
We all have problems/We need others to solve em
But we allergic to help/Like angels carrying pollen
So open your ears/and invite/your peers
To save you from that lake you stepped in once out of fear

[Hook]
