Rise Against - Prizefighter [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Oh, I am not yours, bleeding on your dancefloors
Gather around the spectacle hanging from a string
And are you so tired as you tremble on the high wire?
Ready now to come down, but no one's listening

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm drowning in your waves

[Chorus]
'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
Oh, I am not something to be fenced in
In case I run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
'Cause I don't belong to you
Oh no, I don't belong to you
Or anyone else

[Verse 2]
Is this a hell of my own making or a castle in the sky?
Is this fruit here for the taking or forbidden? Tell me why
To these shadows I might break down, to the walls I will confide
Will you watch this building burn, or will you run into the fire?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm drowning in your waves

[Chorus]
'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
Oh, I am not something to be fenced in
In case I run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
'Cause I don't belong to you
A-no, I don't belong to you
Or anyone else

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, or anyone else
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Bridge]
Bathed in light, we come alive
Slow motion coming back around
Like oceans, breaking down, hey!

[Chorus]
And I am not a prize that you compete for
Or a horse that you can break
And I am not something to be fenced in
In case l run away
I am not a sideshow in your circus
Or a trophy on your shelf
'Cause I don't belong to you
No, I don't belong to you
Or anyone else
Or anyone else
