Adam WarRock - Sticks & Stones [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
Man i feel like a step away
But there's really nothing left to say
At the end of the day when i think back to it
Kids are so mean with the words that they say
And i know that i can take the pain
But they all don't feel the same
Cause sticks and stones you know the break the bones
And the words we say don't fade away
What's the worst that's left with a careless breath
Post from an account; an anonymous address
Point and laugh when i'm sitting at my desk
Til i'm red in the face and it's tight in the chest
And i let that sit and fester
The pain it lingers; the hurt it pesters
When i feel all alone in the world
And the people around me just sit and laugh
That's when a voice inside of my head just says
"leave that pain the past; you've got so much to live for
And it gets better cause the pain don't last"

[Hook] X 4
Sticks and stones might break the bones
Words that we say hit close to home

[Verse 2]
Every geek, every nerd wanna speak a couple words
But they're never really heard so they keep it in
All the hate and resentment; it soaks the skin
Poisons the water in the well from within
So we drink from it and we're thinking this
One thing could just send us over the brink
With a knife to the wrist or a bottle of pills
Another part of it kills, just think (what?)
All the family that loves and misses you
Every life that you touched in an instant
No, you never thought very much about yourself
But it's all those people; they're your brothers and sisters
And every stick might break the bone
And every stone might cut the flesh
But the words really all stay deep inside
Some wounds stay fresh til death (yes)

Let go of all the hatred
Let go of all the pain
Cause the people that hurt
They only do it cause they hurt the worst
Just something you can't explain
And those scars they get tougher
And those wounds they go deep
Through the years it'll make you into somebody stronger
I know it's kinda hard to believe
Those tears, that humiliation you know it taught me
How to be a friend to a person when they're hurtin' the worst
Cause i used to be just a nerd and a geek
And now
I don't even remember the names of the bullies of my youth
And now i kinda wish i could go back and tell 'em the truth

It's like, sticks and stones might break my bones
But the words you say don't define me
Cause i grew up as the years of the bullies and the tears
And i left all that pain behind me
Now i put a message in the music i make
To the kids who don't yet get irony
To those who used to make fun cause i was a nerd
At the top of the charts where you'll find me

[Hook]

[Outro]
If you feel how i feel
Then put your hands up like that, like that
If you've dealt with all the hate
Then put your hands up like that, like that
If you love yourself
Then put your hands up like that, like that
If you wanna let go
Then put your hands up like that, like that

Like that
