Michael Malarkey - Through the Night and Back Again [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Mornings like this I feel like leaving
Though I'll have to hollow out my heart
I'm scraping out the insides of a pumpkin
Paint a twisted face and carve it out
Paint a twisted face and carve it out

[Verse 2]
Dress it up like someone else's nightmare
Candle flickering alive inside
And I'll keep it scowlin' on the doorstep of my love
So others are afraid to go inside
So others are afraid to go inside

[Verse 3]
Mornings like this I feel like leaving
Though I'll have to pick apart my brain
Like a flock of crows upon a scarecrow
If he could raise his voice they'd fly away
If he could raise his voice they'd fly away

[Verse 4]
Maybe those birds they keep him company
Maybe he considers them his friends
But I know they're not, they're just slowly eating him
And soon he'll be a shadow on the wind
And soon he'll be a shadow on the wind

[Pre-Chorus]
I've tried hard, oh darlin'
To keep the balance too
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
Tripping up back and forth like this
Slipping up back and forth like this
Kicking us back and forth like this

[Chorus]
With the pills
And the falls
And the thrills
Of seeing it all
Through the night
I'm back again (x2)

[Verse 5]
Cold nights like this I feel like stayin'
In the bedroom of a lady in the bay
But I hope by now you know I'll never leave you
Pack my beat up bags and fly away
Pack my beat up bags and fly away

[Verse 6]
The mind of a man is a simple place
A self sufficient cabin in the woods
So if you're movin' in you better keep your steady pace
Or you'll be living in this woods alone
Or you'll be living in this woods alone

[Verse 7]
Cold nights like this I feel like stayin'
In the darkness and the comfort of my cave
There's somethin' there for every little daydream
A spark that flickers up and turns to flame
A spark that flickers up and turns to flame

[Verse 8]
If you wanna fight me there then fight me
We can walk ten paces then turn
But if you want me dead you'll just have to shoot me through
Because I would rather die than see you in pain
I would rather die than see you in pain

[Pre-Chorus]
I've tried hard, oh darlin'
To keep the balance too
But it's not me, it's you
Who's kicking us back and forth like this
Tripping up back and forth like this
Slipping up back and forth like this
Kicking us back and forth like this

[Chorus]
With the pills
And the falls
And the thrills
Of seeing it all
Through the night
I'm back again (x2)
