Nighttime Safari - The Voice [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1:
I found my voice like I was Adam Levine
But to truly understand you know you have to rewind
So let me set the scene... Silence
Thats what it was like when I was asked to give them my sense
Cause they told me that my two cents was a nuisance
So I wanted to speak up, but didn't want to become a part of their amusements
Or worse, this dude said "Man its gon' get violent
And I was like "woah, I'll just chill in the corner and be silent
So then my brains dichotomy is that I ought to be audibly
Speaking out for camaraderie, like man you know I gotta be
But then this other part of me decides otherwise
And this arguably the reason for my demise
As I divert my eyes and in turn shut my mouth
People needing living water but they were stuck in a drought
But I was putting it up or I was shutting it out
Cause they told me this was something that I knew nothing about

Chorus:
Every beat, every moment
Is a time that I have chosen
To rise up and find it, find the voice
Hear the sound in the silence
Hear the song as its rising
No more hiding, to find the voice

Verse 2:
I could tell you stories but it didn't matter the circumstance
Matter fact it didn't even matter their certain stance
Cause anytime that they were attacking my pertinence
I was off in the corner doing a certain dance
Trying hard not to step on some toes
Any thoughts I had, man I kept on some flows
So I liked rap so thats what I decided to do
I wanted that final check of approval on the side of the shoe (Swoosh!)
So I could just do it and prove it, I was good at this music
And infuse it, with the very thoughts that introduced it
Cause their was a whole culture that I was soon to find
That truly found a voice of empowerment through the rhyme
I found identity in a entity that didn't have the same skin as me
They said that I was whack and I was attacked by the enemy
I was being me and they would hate me for it
Masterpiece but saw me as the paint and they would penetrate me for it
... but I ain't tryna get dunked on

CHORUS

Verse 3:
So at first this music help me soar
Then there came a time when I fell to the floor
And as I lay there wounded on the ground
This is where the only voice I needed would be found
So I found boldness in the one who leads me
He spoke through me and this voice came easy
So I know its tough for us to climb that ladder
But don't ever let them tell you that your mind don't matter
I am asking you to free your mind, stray from all evil
I'm never going back cause I don't want to see a sequel
Eleanor Rigby, I see all the lonely people
I'm doing this for them, I know we all solely equal
I want to hear your voice drown out the silence
From the bottom to the top of them highlands
And if anyone ever tries to tell you not to
Thats just another reason that you got to

CHORUS
