SinSay - Kyle [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a story about a kid called Kyle
Not the brightest boy, but damnit he had heart
He always skipped class, never found it worthwhile
The streets were now his home cuz his home was torn apart
His parents got divorced by the time he turned six
But let’s just say this divorce wasn’t peaceful
Poppa left mom, kept calling her a bitch
When the real reason they split is cuz poppa fooled around
Being raised in a rough life of shared custody
Mom said one thing, poppa said another
Kyle and his little sister named Maggie
Would always end up doing wrong by one or the other
He loved his baby sister and he swore to protect her
After all in this war, they only had each other
When Kyle turned sixteen, he called his mom a bitch
And now moms got another enemy in the family

Chorus
Unh, don’t do it, I wish you didn’t go
And tear your family into two clans
All I wanted, I just wanted to be loved
Where my home would be my Haven

[Verse 2]
Now he was staying full time with his poppa
He’d only see little Maggie two weeks in the month
One year later their poppa’s new girlfriend
Told little Maggie she dressed like a slut
Things escalated and then became violent
At which point his dad had to take a decision
Because if Maggie stayed, then his girl wouldn’t
And that was the end of Maggie’s stay with poppa
When Kyle was a boy, his dad would never feed him
Even though he never was no stranger to the bottle
He never really felt as though he belonged anywhere
His mom was a stranger and his poppa was a roommate
Now mom feels that she deserves more money
She orders a court date, and arms herself with Maggie
Shes taking down poppa, he’s going to pay more alimony
Im going to let you guess whose going to help out daddy

Chorus
Unh, don’t do it, I wish you didn’t go
And tear your family into two clans
All I wanted, I just wanted to be loved
Where my home would be my Haven

[Verse 3]
Now little Maggie ain't so little anymore
And the only time he sees her is December 25th
There are so many words he’d like to her
But they’d all come out wrong, so he better with
Draw no attention, that was always his code
He always seemed to fear that under the spotlight
His anger would aim high, cock back and unload
And this is where our story begins to unfold
Kyle liked the drugs ‘cause they made him feel numb
He badly needed money, so he started selling some
Couple months later, a friend needs a hookup
This chick was coming over and things were looking up
On that same night, Kyle’s friend called
There was panic in his voice, he seemed so appalled
He rushed to the scene, entered and then froze
As he saw little Maggie, dead of an overdose

[Outro]

How am I to love, if I’ve never felt that feeling
How am I to live, if I’ve never found a meaning

Look at what you did to your kids
You should’ve been there when they needed you
But instead you chased your ex-wife
Doing everything to bring hell to her life
Now you all alone with no kids
I hope that you know it’s all your fault
You stare at your daughter, looking for expression
But your kid is in a coffin, her stairway to heaven
