Seth Sentry - Strange Lot [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Seth Sentry]
A faint ghost through the raindrops
Pace a frozen train stop
My brain throbs as it wanders to my day job
On my way to the place that I hate most
Strange though how I'm still
Afraid of getting laid off
And every day feels the same with a different date
And every face looks as plain as an empty frame
So sick of waiting for the painter
To begin to paint the plain away
For now our testament to emptiness and..
Thoughts ricochet, through my fickle pickle brain
Rain trickles down the grimace
Same image different name
False search and my soul's
An impulse purchase
Round here we serve beer not purpose
"Step Aside"

[Hook]
When I wake up, my mind is full of dread
In the evening, sleep as though I’m dead
I'm so tired, sad and lonely
Happy when I'm dreaming only
Wana break free
Ain't escaping here
Cause I'm tied down
Paralyzed with fear
Every days the same but everyone has changed
I can't let it side, better step aside

[Verse 2: Seth Sentry]
We all look so morose
Soaked overcoats, hope comatose
Folks know the ropes, don't row the boat, just float
Don't delay, don't you go and chase the blown away
Umbrella cross the motorway
Tell them keep a poker face
For the joker's sake, hold your plate steady while we load it up
And smoke your face pretty while your throat is cut
Yeah
Things that go bump, know what's up
Only showing love through the drugs and the modem plug
Moments past only last in photographs
Show some gums for the picture homie
No we couldn't give a lonely fuck
So they don't smile they just show their teeth
And sit below the streets on broken rollercoaster seats
With today's valid ticket like this trip
Is where they're all supposed to be
But don't be difficult the warning posters read
And if it all amounts to this, then all aboard and count your chips
A flock of dirty pigeons fighting over
Water fountain sips
"Step Aside"

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Seth Sentry]
Now I could learn to hide a smirk behind a smile
In a nice designer shirt, life of work, buy a pile of dirt
And plant a house in it
Past the shanty town limits, where the angry crowds picket
Pick a hand-me-down image
And being the average bloke, the same person that you know
That hates work but has to go
To pay for the back he broke, toiling in the fields
What's the point of putting poison in their meals
When a coin will have them oiling up the wheels?
For the rich man's chariot, they're carrying
A figjam arrogance and shrink-wrapped happiness
"Hand it out"
Same shit different brand name
"Gather around"
Same slip different cash claim
Wait
Welcome to the day it was rocket science
And watch grey become a ying-yang compromise
Throw the canary down the mineshaft with a gas mask
For the last laugh
Tip your bar staff
"Step Aside"

[Hook]

[Out: Seth Sentry]
(ooooo, ohh o)
(yeah yeah)

And welcome to the day that the daisy chain
Breaks from the weight and strain
But everything remains the same
And welcome to the day that the painter came and
Astounded every critic with a thousand
Different shades of grey
And welcome to the day that the sweat from every brow
Was ours to keep
And every pawn was proudly crowned a queen
And welcome to the night that while the captain slept
We abandon ship with our lanterns lit
Singing
"Step Aside"

[Hook]
