Pontifex - Soul Meta [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]

Dear World, what are we so afraid to face
Love takes risk, so we seek a more comfortable place
Look me in my eyes shake my hand, let’s know each other
One human family, one people, my sister, my brother
Look me in my eyes, know me, not my prototype
Love takes risk it’s so much easier to feed off hype
To just draw lines around you, put you in a box and lock it
Think I got you all figured out, and put you in my pocket
We define each other by preconceived notions
We know all there is to know but it’s a pebble in the ocean
Fear drives the train as the world grows more hostile
Why are we swayed by anchors & actors & not the Gospel
To admit I don’t know everything & that I need to turn
To put love above else, seek wisdom and discern
That’s where the real lessons are learned
The only antidote to the poison is radical love
Put down our guarded hate filled hearts & seek what is above
Noisy gongs and clanging cymbals is all they hear
Only love can answer the questions
Who am I? and Why are we here?

[Hook]

Born for such a time, put in on the line
Heart of the city
Time to come together soul meta
Soul of the city

[Verse 2]

50 years later we gonna still march on
Till love and respect of every person is the norm
Born or unborn color creed to be respected
Hate and anger sell news we just choose to redirect it
These for profit storms are not free at last
Burn ua careless trail and then dash for the cash
And leave us in the trenches to fight some battle
Cowboys at the rodeo I guess we’re just the cattle
Lead, follow or get out the way, that’s what they say
So put me on the frontlines to pray
With a cross on my shoulder the size of the Hancock
Love is the answer, it’s our banner and we can’t stop
And the world spins on
We got a press on, think for ourselves and be strong
Cause in the end, love’s the one that remains
We gonna stand arm in arm, & maintain, maintain

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

You were born for such a time
So raise the banner of your love as high as you can
Peace and justice is found in the unity of every man
Hate speeches, rhetoric to divide must cease
Stand with your convictions and truth in a spirit of peace
The fruit of the spirit is love and else is just vain babble
Soul Meta, change the heart, change the mind & win the battle

[Hook]
