Somos - Familiar Theme [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

How to escape a familiar theme?
An idea you're at home in
If you're not careful it could crush you
Like a straitjacket

I wanna know how to break new ground
Like a long distance runner
My face is contorted into a grimace; he wears a half smile
That you hate him for
He wears a half smile that you hate him for

We had a strong foundation
But could not pass the test
And a lack of blame is not our problem
It's been passed around from mouth to mouth like rumors in a broken town
When you watched it rise and fall, you'd forgotten that

What you had is never coming back
What you had is never coming back
I need a window to see out of
I need some time so I can count down
To the day that I could tell you
That I know just where I'm going

I tried to drink from the well but it had dried up
I tried to live off my hands but they've been tied up
People sick with ambition, hunting a reputation
To advance their position they will try anything

If their boots on your neck, you should shake fast
Glue your eyes to the floor, push a fake laugh
Keep your head down, but keep your eyes wide
To the floor, keep your head down

What you had is never coming back
What you had is never coming back
I need a window to see out of
I need some time so I can count down
To the day that I could tell you
That I know just where I'm going

What you had is never coming back
Looking back to a simpler time
What you had is never coming back
Familiar faces you can recognize

I need a window to see out of
I need some time so I can count down
To the day that I could tell you
That I know just where I'm going

All you want is a simpler time
Familiar faces you can recognize
All you want is a simpler time
Familiar faces you can recognize
