Ruse - We Are Who We Are [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
It's too much. When I'm alone, I don't wanna do stuff
Today, they made fun of my new cuts
I'm a loser, told my so-called friend I had a new crush
The next day, she crushes me sayin I'm a faggot and f***ed up
I guess he was like the rest of em
I should know by now; it's a cycle, a f***in pendulum
He was laughin when it happened
I needed him and, instead, he was laughin at my sadness
They say that it gets easier with practice
But the impact hits harder everytime they get at it
Try to hide my reaction but sometimes I just crack and
That's when they start blastin me. This is Hell
I'd get help but I'm scared of it as well
Everytime I try to open up, I'm quickly shut down
I'm gonna give up cause I just can't keep this up
How am I supposed to when not one person gives a f***?
I need a friend. Too far in for them to stop me though
Just hopeless hopin for a decent end
It won't happen but it doesn't matter
Nothin does. We all know the world'll keep movin after
I close my chapter. I'm sure those assholes'll be happier
When I'm dead. Sorry mom and dad, I tried my best but I failed this tried test
I feel the air rising in my chest. I guess it's time for death. Goodbye, cruel world
Signed, Ted

[Hey, just remember that we are who we are
When you hear about a dead kid that was pushed too far
Nonetheless, anybody can change
Especially you, if what I've said has boggled your brain
Hey, just remember that we are who we are
When you hear about a dead kid that was pushed too far
Nonetheless, anybody can change
Especially you, if what I've said has boggled your brain]

[Verse 2]
You know it's not okay. Was it the way you were raised
That makes you think it's okay to get off on their pain? Use your damn brain
Ever went to school scared day in, day out, afraid of what they'll say? Wonderin if they know your real name?
No, you haven't. You don't know compassion
Your heart is black and your soul is ashen, quit f***in laughin
And wipe that grin off your face. You'd never grin again
If you saw him with his blade while in his head, your words are replayed
This isn't a game when you're the one with emotional strain
Another broken vain, just hopin they won't notice again
You know what they'll say: Emo, cut your bangs
Do us all a favor and cut deeper so you'll finally just go away
That kid is hurt! Stop f***in makin it worse!
He is on the verge only cause he is diverse!
I hope you hear this verse and you realize what he's worth
And try to apologize before he's submerged under dirt!
But you won't! Your views don't change when you don't give a f***
You hear me but you'd rather put him down than listen up
You're the demolition of compassion and empathy combined
You're the reason fifteen kids died at Columbine
(Instrumental)
So what's the point if they don't listen to what I say?
Well the victims need to know they aren't alone with this pain
I haven't traveled down that road, but I've seen it happen all the same
No sense, it makes. Seeing a kid bullied makes me shake
Cause such disdain to another human being is insane
Instead of doggin him, talk to him. That kid's days
Are made of constant pain. Filled to the brim with hate
And he didn't do a thing. There's no way this is his fate
Take this s*** off his plate. You alone can reinstate
Happiness in his life. Give him a clean slate
You can't take everything away but it'd be great
If you gave him someone to relate to. Believe it or not, you can ease the pain
Give him a decent day. A reason to stay
When he wants to leave this place, be his reason to delay
He needs it. Hey, I know you can
Stop pushin him away and take his hand

[Chorus] x3
