Not really Z - Red Birds [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

"Red Birds" by Z

[Now waiting for public transit]

(Verse 1)

Cross dreams with a piece of mind
Them clean streets need a curb, then you'll see it lines up right?
You look good in them 3-d glasses
We're all paper cutouts without them, get to walking around
That old window; you winded yet?
I sent a check and a letter - forgot the address
A rock to padlock, pocket your past effort
I followed you half-steppin'; the first to break even
Yep... Treated slots as a constant
Pairing Black & white together, 'til it's obvious
But look man, I'm a lobbyist
I've got a place to yell, and I know the cost to switch
So don't wait for me.. don't worry, I got it
It ain't selfish if I do it on my own
And I made the me, that never worded you proper
Call back for them 5-4-3-2 dial tones

(Bridge)

So throw that, overlay away
I can tell you wouldn't go back
Photographs will fade and
You don't need to know

(Hook)

I would, walk along the graves of
Everything you say cause
I don't need a phoenix to figure out
How to wake up

Wake up with it
Don't take much to run it; we got them singin' like
La la-la-la, la-la la l-la
Sayin' pardon my cardinal, c-cardinal yeah

(Verse 2)

Don't cross that shadow with me, nah
A half-addict, back at it with Pete Rock
Now I won't tell you the category that we fall
Think of Blackbird with a level-headed key card
- though. Far-fetched the bar set
Wake up in the morning like, "We in New York yet?"
A sore neck sells, and a new watch works
It's last letter like you knew mine first, haha
(hold up) Them ain't dead words, those are red birds
Setting beds to cement, until your head hurts
Sit down, split how, you give out
Fitted crowns, the crutch reads, kick now
Feeling like the first bars from 'Lost Ones'
Without a seventh floor penthouse to fall from
Oh well, put a compass to chest
And stay late on my monthly rent, then let 'em know like

(Bridge[quietly])

(Hook)
