Time - Black and Gold [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Time]
Coffee before work, a little liquor after
Routine and cope, it's all disguised by laughter
His generation built guilt, Chevys and wealth
My generation can't talk about nothing but itself
You can't make wine from the grapes of wrath
Only choke on the dust from your families past
I know the right answers, but I don't believe them
I got goals, but I'm afraid to achieve them
I wanna be the scarecrow that scares the eagle
But I'm too scared of opinions by people
The best ideas don't survive, they get buried alive
Regret was his bride cause he married a lie
The geese were flying in a V for vanish down south
As the big dipper poured stars and champagne in my mouth
He had empty bottles to go with his promises
I filled em all with messages just for the piranha's lips

[Hook: Time]
Coffee to wake up, beer to go to sleep
We work all day then we try to eat

When i was young i had a Michael Jackson glove
Some people can't walk so they use addiction as a crutch
We used to share laughter, now we share coffee and silence
I never knew not talking or fighting could be so violent
Alcohol's the anesthesia, life is the surgery
Addiction is the assistant trying to murder me
He tried to drown his sorrows but they learned to swim
Caffeine and nicotine, liquor's got a lot of friends
In a town called obsession that was built by dependence
The population's jonesing cause there's no one to defend it
Enslavement is chain-less, when your master's a a habit
Anger and withdrawal comes when you can't have it
Coffee and beer I used to think they were nasty
I never knew when i got older they would catch me
When i grew up I realized it wasn't about the taste
But in all actuality it was the problems they erased

[Hook: Time]
Coffee to wake up, beer to go to sleep
We work all day then we try to eat
