Sloth - Island Dreaming [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse One]
Roasting in the sunlight
I’m burning getting freckles
I don’t like the beach
I brood like Logan Echols
I’d just like to swim but the sharks want to eat me
There’s no way to travel cause the jets all beat me
Pat me down and with a frown I’m sent to take the bus rout
Walk the ground climb a mound like I was a Roman war scout
See the barren wasteland of the suburbs it’s war now
Class on class just like the spelling bee award wow
Trophy just for trying like consolation mayhem
Teachers teach me everything but we don’t want to pay them
So preach from the streets friend hoist your signs high
Don’t hide behind Tweety bird or sly will tan your hide
But I’m reading war and peace on the beach with some coke and rum
Learning peace from the east there’s a breach in my fun
Knock over the sand castle getting grain in my shorts
Blowing the whistle is such a hassle it’s just a game in the reports

[Hook]
It’s not what it’s seeming
But it’s island dreaming
It’s not what it’s seeming
But the sunlight is gleaming
It’s not what it’s seeming
Yeah it’s island dreaming

Yeah it’s island dreaming
… it’s island dreaming

[Verse Two]
I’m red like lobster
Cooked like a mobster
I’m not a Goodfella
I don’t hang with robbers
I’d just like to eat but the tide keeps coming in
Washing away my wallet while my patience is running thin
I just want lunch sit with a hunch to not feel the hunger pains
Tighten my belt just one notch has the world gone insane
Green food green girls like my name was Shatner
Free to brood free worlds I’m a bad actor
So I keep a straight face sit in my place while the world burns
Pocket ace I’m a disgrace and now my stomach turns
Like I don’t sleep well if that’s at all
But I spend all day in bed like a broken wall
East floods to west and now we’re all drowning
Meek meets the best and everyone is clowning
We’re all embarrassing our selves again
Lets just go swimming in a one piece my friend

[Hook]
