Miles of Bones - Winter [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Winter is taking over the world again and there's nothing we can do
The falling leaves are just a backdrop, one result of a dying world
I've gotta write this song again, erase those lyrics that I wrote
They're just the words I had because I had you
I've got nothing left to prove, and just a little more to say
I know you never thought you'd see the day

[Verse 2]
This song's been kicking at my door, keeping me up at night
Screaming "you don't go down, not without a fight!"
This city's been caving in my head, cracks in my skull
Run from my crown down to underneath the streetlights
If I stay here for four more full years
If I smoke one more cigarette I know I'll never quit it
But if my lungs no longer breathe, then I'll still blame the city
If tomorrow I can't kneel it's not the saw, it's just the unreal

[Chorus 1]
And I know, I know they say nobody gets out alive
And I know, I know you say I'm only wasting my time
And I hope I'm gonna find a way to make it alright
Cause I've been way too long here, I can't hold on, dear, tonight

[Verse 3]
I've been calling out, I've been full-hearted screaming
I've been trying to bridge the canyon between plans and dreaming
I've been taking my toll on the atmosphere
Driving my friends everywhere, blowing smoke rings crystal clear

[Verse 4]
Away with you vultures, I won't spill my guts unless my blade slips, so I'll take my chances
I'll take the last bus back to Nat Sci, back to the apartment where there's good scotch and wi-fi
You know you'd have to blow my brains out, and leave me no doubt that I've been knocked out
But there's no barrel that stretches from your lips to my forehead, so don't you even say it

[Chorus 2]
And I know, I know they say nobody gets out alive
And I know, I know you say I'm only wasting my time
And I hope I'm gonna find a way to make it alright
Cause I've been way too long here, I can't hold on, dear
I'm just hanging on here and I can't go on, dear, tonight
