PM Dawn - Reality Used To Be A Friend Of Mine [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Maybe "Why?" is the question that's on your mind
But reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Reality used to be a friend of mine
Please don't ask me cause I don't know why
But reality used to be a friend of mine

[Verse 1]
I used to be friends with reality
She used to be a pal real close to me
But she tried to hide from me what was in store
Tried to house me but a house has doors
I was insane and the picture was crazy
So the relevance here seems to be a bit hazy
But I tried to explain this in the simplest terms
But she let the props[?] burn and it was my turn to say
("Roses are red, and violets are blue
And things are gonna stay that way, too")
And I was the nut to believe all of this
I figured life would just hand me bliss
Now I have to worry about certain doom
Or will I be here tomorrow afternoon
Now ask me about the future

[Sample]


[Chorus]

I remember Sandy gave me a hand
Now I'm known as the maniac man
Looking and searching for a shred of proof
Knowing any time this world could go poof
Now what might happen without me knowin'
That's why I find myself always tip-tip toeing
She tried to let prophecy sneak up on me
But I woke up, I told her "Yo, step off me"
What you want me to do?
You want me to sweat blood?
And hang up on your strings like a marionette does?
Go to the PM on the dock of the bay, sit
You need a clue
Go back to the basics
She needs to learn her ABC's
Her and I sail on different seas
She sees different from what I sees

[Sample]
Do you believe!?!
Hell no!

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I lost touch with reality
I keep it as far as I can from Prince Be
I just didn't run with the way she flowed
To where I just said "Yo, I gots to go"
But my heart wasn't ill or mad at her
I just chose to laugh at her
And disregard everything she tells me
Believe in her
And she's happy and healthy
What is real, a positive plane
Reality and life are not the same
As to her equivalence to what is real
She doesn't appeal to how I feel
Maybe I should try transchanneling her
(Prince, you're taking this trip to far)
Okay, fine, nevermind
But reality used to be a friend of mine

[Chorus] X 2

Chase the blues away
Take your mind off reality and leave her alone
