Young Whippersnapper - Ambition [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I wanna be an inspiration, pale kids all across the nation
Looking up to Cale so they wanna date an Asian
Looking up Cale on a Google search engine
Making up jokes, tweet looking for a mention
Making up puns--better yet, try to make 'em rhyme
Really put some thought in it, yeah, taking time
I wanna make you think, wanna make your mind spin
At the same time making mine, then
Your brain is yours--that's really cool
When it brainstorms, man, it rains, it pours
And the ideas come and they won't stop coming
Now the river's gonna flood and it won't stop running
Need a levee or a barricade, now you're sitting there at eight
Making up a scientific theory like you're Faraday
And your thoughts ignited now--without even trying, wow!
Better get a pencil and a paper now and write it down
Wow, that's powerful, really profound
And really confounding when you try to scribble it down
The adrenaline bounded, now it's whittling down
And now you're piddling 'round because you're fizzling out
Man, listen: What you need's just a little ambition
A spark, a seed to precede a damn vision
And it doesn't cost a penny, man
Looking like you're pretty ambitious getting driven like a minivan
Wait--you're saying that's all that it takes?
Well, no--there's talent, too, and all the mistakes
You gotta get through for it all to fall into place
If you wanna run you gotta crawl and fall on your face
And if you feel out of place, like a six foot tall being
With a head shaped like a football golfing
Then I wanna say that you're the only one who's got it figured out
What's confidence without a little doubt?
What's consonance without a middle vowel?
What's consciousness without a bigger 'wow'?
What's an idea? Got it right here
Pay a mind's ear here, man, listen
An idea's nothing without the ambition
