The Pilot Kids - Bridges [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I close my eyes, only to see that I’m frozen in time
I hoped it would be that I’d open the skies
But, lo and behold, these clothes are all dry
This ego of mine
Needs no rewind button— as much as I know that I’ll find nothin’
Constructive by goin’ behind
I still have this notion to try
But why?
I stare at this box of home videos and nobody knows about
The commotion that goes on inside of this mind of mine
It’s violent
The tapes in this closet are taking me hostage
The thought of it’s making me nauseous
Like, “Wait, if I watch it, will I see that
I’ve washed away in the process of change and I’ve
Fuck

And I know that you’re only here to keep me safe
A sneaky arrangement of DNA
And to be quite frank, I appreciate it
But it’s been 22 years and I need my space

So I’m tearing you down. You held me back--
“It’s not so bad”
"Don’t tell me that!”
Compel me to act!
I’ve seen my lane, now I need to take this leap of faith!

I wanna be lost— I wanna be stranded without a clue
And whenever you ask me how everything’s going
I wanna say “Fine, and how are how?”
And have it be true

[Pre-Chorus]
Looking at this bridge outside my window
I feel like I’m almost on the other side
I don’t want to waste my time
I’m gonna grab my bags and go. (oh-ooh-oh)
Cuz nothing’s gonna last forever—
And I’ma watch it all burn down

[Chorus]
All burn down
Down, d-d-d-down
And I’ma watch it all burn down

(I wanna be lost— I wanna be stranded without a clue
And whenever you ask me how everything’s going
I wanna say “Fine, and how are how?”)

And I’ma watch it all burn down

[Verse 2]
If you would lay off my mind, I’d sleep
One day off, I grind my teeth
Cuz I feel like I’m way off where I’d like to be
But
In chaos, I find my peace
Oh—
You know me better than I know me?
All you ever do is say I’ve got a finite reach
And it’s time like these that I realize
I ain’t even looking for the motherfucking limelight
These are my journal entries disguised by beats

What a breath of fresh air

I finally see that the point of it all is for anybody living with a mind like me to be set free
Or at least see that you don’t need that voice!
(despite what it seems like)
It seems likely if hindsight sees in 20/20, then the present eye’s 3D
Cuz people like us
We think so much
That we end up basically chilling
Yeah, roll that up, man
Smoke that blunt and pretend that it’s making you brilliant
We say, “I don’t care about that, but yo— if i did, it’d be way fucking different.”
Afraid to move forward
Afraid to be vocal
We can’e even make a decision
It’s much easier to look back on life like
“We could have been whatever we wanted to if we just tried.”
It’s much hard to fail while you’re chasing a vision

I wanna be lost— I wanna be stranded without a clue
And whenever you ask me how everything’s going
I wanna say “Fine, and how are how?”
And have it be true

[Bridge]
"So it’s possible to see the end, then begin
Start looking into the future of what you would like to accomplish
And where you would like to go, the person you would like to be
And see if you can’t get a better picture of the finished objective
See yourself there
See yourself in possession of."
-Jim Rohn

[Outro]
Looking at this bridge outside my window
I feel like I’m almost on the other side
I don’t want to waste my time
I’m gonna grab my bags and go. (oh-ooh-oh)
Cuz nothing’s gonna last forever—
And I’ma watch it all burn down
