Mind Over Matter - X.Y.Z. [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Willow]
I'm from a generation that they labelled as the lost ones
Saw the world different and had a couple problems
You could say my parents survived a storm
With a lot of people still learning right from wrong
And Vietnam showed us that we didn't want war
Like get up off their land yo if it's not yours
Politically aware ‘cause freedom was more
To us but our parents had seen it all before
Yeah in my top draw I had mixture of playboys
And money for the Pacman machine that'd take coins
Playing at the arcade asking out chicks
That 70's surfing culture I miss
And then the 80's came and hit us in a timely fashion
Like dad I don't need none of that bible bashing
Got a bigger thrill when listening to Michael Jackson
He said time keeps ticking, don't try to catch it

[Hook]
And we all sing in different keys
But somehow we all singing the same song
I don't know how we all singing the same song
I think it goes XYZ we dead though
I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead

[Verse 2: Smiles Again]
First they told us that we could fly
And then they strapped our feet with cement boots
Next they put a hole in our jet fuel
And told us dial triple zero for rescue
And my elder's think that I'm hell bent
4 thousand songs not one of them Elvis
Downloaded to the iPod on my shelf that
Never gets used I should probably sell it
But no time for that I got a lot on my plate today
So I'mma guess that I'mma get to it later
On ‘cause all the pennies that I earn from my day job
Goes to me allow me to be chewing my face off
My parents went and strive for my better way of life
But I'm always up a little late to ever say good bye
In the morning still I claim I never waste my time
And nothing ever my fault ‘cause I'm generation Y

[Hook]
And we all sing in different keys
But somehow we all singing the same song
I don't know how we all singing the same song
I think it goes XYZ we dead though
I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead

[Verse 3: Smiles Again & Willow]
I got a thousand friends online who I never see
Still they know about everything I've ever seen
And every day I gain a few more steadily
Mum says it wasn't like this in the seventies
Got my doors locked crime grew heavily
Trapped inside they prescribed me with sedatives
Tell me why they define us with a letter 'Z'
Full stop I'm the end of the alphabet

[Hook]
And we all sing in different keys
But somehow we all singing the same song
I don't know how we all singing the same song
I think it goes XYZ we dead though
I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead
Yeah I think it goes XYZ we dead

[Bridge: Vida Sunshyne]
For a minute I been complaining now I can begin again
See they hold me down and don't hold my hand
I won't show the doubt that I feel within
Before I can shout this all out to them
Take my time when
I'm under for pressure for living in
A place of destruction and innocence
I wait for the generations to listen in
