The Metermaids - Blackout Baby [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

There's no picture going to do it any justice
No Polaroid, 35 millimeter, or a digital snap
Kodachrome won't capture the moment
You can't own it. There's no bringing it back

In fact, you can save on all your video tape
It's not the same the way the shot crops the frame. This is not just stop drop and aim

We're taking it from the front to the back
Side to side. It's time to drive
Time to ride. So climb inside
But I'm alive. Say it. I'm alive
And Imma live every day like it was my first

Isn't Brooklyn pretty?
The way she holds your fingers to the flames
She's calling your name in the street but the street doesn't hear your name

I don't want anybody to touch me
I've gone where you can't go
I've seen what you can't see
I know what you don't know
I've never been comfortable inside my skin
But now that I'm inside I'm not going back again

Blackout, baby
There's no tomorrow


Swear to god think I'm destroying something beautiful
Pictures speak a thousand words and I've been speechless with a burning on my lips
Eyes are open less than usual
Done explaining, from now on I'm hoping they just get my drift

Sometimes I wish this skin was mine, get in line, but I'm not into picking sides
Some birds are just too big to fly
Spin the bottle kiss the sky, it's live or die

All or nothing, taste of blood, the hands are shaking, I'm just trying to chase the sun
Now or never, a place to run, I'll pluck the strings, I'll fucking sing, I'll make shit up

Isn't Brooklyn ugly
How she holds your face in your mistakes
Yeah, it's great and the pay's lovely
Don't know what I have but there's nothing left that you can take from me

I've seen what you don't believe in
I was awake and you just slept
I've walked to the place the streets end
Smoke and fear on my breath

I've been what I thought I should be
I've ran through the city at night
I didn't look back once
I lived what I thought was life now

Blackout baby
No Tomorrow
There's no Tomorrow

I hear the music clearly, I taste the nicotene
I feel the buildings close in, I see the city scream
I hear you talk about me, I see your finger shake
I know the pain inside you, I hear the glasses break
I don't regret a second, there's honey in my veins
If there was no tomorrow, I'd keep it all the same
Please don't mistake my smile, cause this is not for you
This is not a place you've been, this is not what you thought you knew
