Scroobius Pip - Love Like This [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

Years-years-years ago, my mother used to say to me
She'd say: "In this world Elwood, you must be-" she would always called me Elwood
"In this world Elwood, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant."
Well for years I was smart; I recommend pleasant. You may quote me

[Hook]
If I'd known there was love like this
I'd have grabbed a fucking scalpel I'd have slit my wrists
In the goddamn delivery room
Hell I'd have jumped back in the womb
Love be the shit that's gonna seal my doom

[Verse 1: Scroobius Pip]
Just cause you made our bed didn't mean you had to lie in it
And look me in the eye saying together 'til we die and shit
Well feel my fucking pulse cause I ain't fucking dead yet
Listen close as it echoes through your headset
When we first met
I didn't know what I was doing
And I guess you were sick of that girl's boyfriend you were screwing
Instead of thinking in my head, were you worth persuing
I should have looked into your eyes and seen a storm was brewing
But you needed a new angle so you intercepted my life line
I must admit you were looking good, so I granted you my time
Behind every acute angle, you find an obtuse one
As a hand caressed my thigh over my head a fresh noose hung
But with this one
I really thought I could trust her
We'd got all close over time
I thought that maybe I'd sussed her
I threw my heart shaped anchor with all the strength I could muster
It fell short and ripped the hard seabed up in clusters
But that didn't faze me, I just kept on going
With my chest ripped open and my heart still showing
I was naive like that, see my mind was still growing
I thought with trust and persistence that the love would start flowing
But it didn't so I pushed and pushed to invoke
New levels of love but instead we just broke
And at that point you chose to let me in
And that's where all the problems began to begin

[Hook] X2

[Second Verse]
Now just suppose I was to juxtapose your soft white cheek against my nose
Would you look me in the eyes and fall in love like the T.V. shows?
Or maybe if I took a rose
An envelope with a note enclosed
That told you that the love I have inside me like a flower grows
Would it really make any fucking difference?
Cause it shouldn't
Would you sell yourself for one cheap gesture?
Cause I couldn't and I wouldn't
I know that's all it'd take to win you back
But I ain't looking to soil my shoes on such a well trodden track
So you can take your love by numbers and put it up there on the rack
And impose your shit and baggage on some other mindless hack
And just suppose I was to juxtapose my tightened fist against your nose
Releasing blood with colour deeper than the deepest rose
Releasing streams of anger that we all have yet no one shows
Release me from the fucking chains of heartbreak that you still impose
And that'd be wrong and I ain't gonna do it
But there ain't no harm in putting this plot in my mind and walking through it
So fuck you for still spending time with my friends
And fuck them for not knowing what's appropriate and when
And it's fuck up that all the good times seem to blend
Into one big fucking mess from the beginning to the end
So take a good look at my face
And you'll see this little smile seems out of place
But go ahead and look closer but I'll never let you trace
The tracks of my tears
