​mewithoutYou - Tie Me Up! Untie Me! [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
I was looking at the leaves, climbing to the tops of the trees
But you were nowhere to be found
Just beneath all the green you were buried like a little seed
Among the roots and underground
I was licking at the leaves, but I was in short sleeves and you
You were like some sickness that I caught
And my sweetheart moved away, swept off like garbage in the alleyway
And I need more grace than I thought

[Bridge]
(Oh, please, brother, I am far... brother, I am far away... brother, I am far away from everything
Oh, brother, I am far... brother, I am far away... brother! I am far away from everything good!)

[Verse]
She's like a hot cloth on a fevered head
And like a needle she leads me (while I follow like thread)
Tie me up! Untie me! All this wishing I was dead is getting old
IT'S GETTING OLD!!
... it goes on, but it's old
I was swimming through the waves for what must have been days
But could find no relief
When I started sinking down I thought for certain I would drown
Until I saw you in the ocean
Underneath all the bright colored fish tell of a treasure in a dull shell
"Such subtlety, so easily missed!"
You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love
And I'm the living example of 100% the opposite of this
(If I ask the same questions... well, yes, sir, I ask the same questions
Well, maybe I repeat myself from time to time
But if I ask the same questions... and then I know I ask the same questions
It's because everyone who answers me is a liar!!)
She's like the hot cloth on a fevered head
And like a needle she leads me (while I follow like thread)
But you untied me... didn't You untie me, Lord?
And now I haven't even thought about killing myself in almost five months
