Theo - Listen [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Listen
Listen
(Yeah)

[Verse 1: Theo]
Nothing is promised in life except death (Woh!)
So if you’re gonna live life
You might as well live it right
I’m sorry to be so blunt
I’m trynna prove a point
Everyone wants to know
What’s gonna happen if I don’t win
I guess will never know
Wrote this after I saw myself saying Ye Grammy speech
Lost for words
Realised that half the things
I put in my songs
I can’t say it to the people I know
Tell me what’s going down
I’ve been as you say
So stuck up
Lost in my thoughts (Ah)
In my own world (Yeah)
That’s living the dream
Me avoiding negativity
Now I look around (Round)
Is this a fantasy (Sy)
I guess I’ve kinda lost sight of my reality

[Hook: Theo]
And I’m like
Girl Listen (x3)
I’m like Listen (x3)
I’m trynna let my songs be heard
Let my songs be heard
I’m letting my heart beat guide me
I’m letting my heart beat guide me
But the voice inside me
Still sings alone

[Verse 2: Theo]
I get it
We used to be so close
Now we are strangers with memories
Like what date are we on
I’ve defiantly lost track of time
We chose our separate ways
But it seems everyone won’t admit it
So they claim they have it all under control
So we fight the distance
Message each other things we don’t have the guts say in person say in person
Is it worse to lack emotion or reason?
Matters of the heart and mind
You say guys are the same
But still hope for the perfect man
Yeah that could be a good thing
But the good things in my life could be passing me by
Like you
Yeah you could be living the dream
But how often do you realise you are living it
We want more and more and more
I sometimes I wish we had our old times
What we had before
You were so down to earth
A big part of my world
You know the drill you would feel free
Break the girl code
And you would just call

[Hook 2: Theo]
And I would
Listen (x3)
I would
Listen (x3)
And you would let your song be herd
Let your song be heard
Let your heartbeat guide you
Let your heartbeat guide you
But the voice inside you still sings alone

[Bridge: Theo]
Trynna break through these four walls (break through these four walls)
Just lying on my bed (Just lying, just lying on my bed yeah. Just lying on my bed)
You can’t miss what you never had (Miss what you never had)
But you can envy it instead (hoo you can envy it instead, yeah you can envy it instead oh ho)
I guess it’s easier to commit to a dream
Cause I’m much more afraid to believe in us committing
I’ll be the second to admit it
Coz when it comes to you I’m so indecisive
These are the consequences
You will never get what you want
Until you make that decision
That what you want is what you’re gonna get
Sounds simple doesn’t it
No matter the distance
My simplicity has become my complexity

[Outro: Dew]
Undecided and yet my mind has already been made up
Ideas flowing and emotions running wild
Inconsistent and yet in a jumbled sort of sequence
These are the frustrated expressions
Of a patched heart afraid to scar over forever
Forgive me
Though I have everything to give
I have nothing left to hold
Now I am running from the walls that once kept me safe
They crash down around me
Yet the hit the ground so softly
Afraid and yet facing you I am brave
Look into my eyes and tell me what you’ve tried to understand
Confusion hurt and endless heartache
The beginning was almost as sweet to come s it was to end
No doubt in my mind
But so much disbelief at your indifference
Here I stand I have fallen and but I will rise taller than before
Because no promises could ever convince me that there was ever truth amidst this all
Broken but not tamed
Ruthless is life
And yet in all of the noise I find solace as I find myself alone
