The Natural Profane - Natureland [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]

Want to run away to Natureland
And push the world away
Another day, another phase
It’s so amazing to me
Want to run away to Natureland
And push the world away for you
Another day, another frame
It’s so amazing

[Verse one]

Every now and again I reflect on my past
And look back at all of these friendships I’ve had
These eight millimeter two-reels that I watch in my head
From a small desk with a cabernet sauvignon in my left hand
Are what cause me refine my perspective, be thankful
For the impressions these people all left so many years ago
Lock every demon in the closet
During scenes when I want the audience in the theater to be silent
I’ve had my difficulties
Still have regrets
I’ve spent so many nights in this head getting upset
But you can’t limit your thought process like that
And then expect from the universe
What you never bothered to give back
It’s all about ebb and flow
Forgiving and letting go
Learning how to show love to an enemy when you dread it most
And realizing that this external world has no effective control
Over the lens through which you see it
Welcome to your show

[Chorus]

[Verse two]

Look
Perfect worlds don’t exist
Out of chaos comes order
Peace after violence, purpose from death
Every achievement we see throughout history
Has one common ingredient that was needed to make it happen
Conflict
That clash of ideas that gives birth to new breath
And without that, there would be no such thing as a next step
Now is there a lot of darkness out there? Yes
But a lot of us tend to forget
How much beauty around us there really is
The projector keeps humming
I can feel myself sinking into something of a slumber
As relief washes over me
And this kind of sleep is unknown to me
Watching the reels reach the very last roll
But the film keeps on fluttering
With the screen’s light reflecting off a glass that is now empty
Green pastures
Enjoy the breeze
Take one glance back before you leave
Take my hand and teleport with me

[Chorus]
