Adraxx - Man In The Mirror [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
I know you hate it when I’m looking in your face
And you hate it even more when I speak truth right in your face
No need to face it squarely, I’ll round up every phase
So we’ll take it from the bottom with no intentions to abase
Now listen to me, Imma say it as it is
I know you wouldn't like it with everyone hearing this
They've had the lie for far too long; it’s time to give yourself in
And please just listen with no interruptions when I’m talking
Where is that boy that was birthed to on that Monday?
As soon as I heard his cry, man I knew it was a great day
Your mum and dad were glad cos they knew you’ll bring them happiness
And yes! I was also counting on that happiness
You lived to expectation with that happiness for a few years
But then you made a choice to replace it with all those tears
And agony, I wonder if you felt the pain within
Cos me? I felt it deep within, I knew your heart was crushing
But no, you wouldn't face it, you chose the path of lies
It straight hurt, I doubt you know how all that made me cry
Deception got the best of you, devouring all of you up
I saw it, tried to warn you but you told me to shut it up
I did, I shut it up but kept hoping for a change
Cos I knew the good in you was never too far from your range
You walked your chosen path till you reached a crossroad stage
I saw and felt the joy you had when you turned over a new page
You let Him in last, all the years that He’s been knocking
And finally came to realize how your life was so appalling
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord was my greatest joy and
The way you embraced Him in the start was so motivating
But it didn’t last long, I kept asking what went wrong
You never answered me so all I had to say was “stay strong”
I guess it didn’t mean much, I know you never listened
And no one had to tell you cos you knew that you were falling
But like a daily routine you will never face it
Running back to what you left behind and you will take it
Practised what you never preached; “can’t beat them then you join them”
Ironic how you never practised what you preached to them
Whoa! Look in my face, don’t act shy, I know you’re not
The enviable courage you displayed was right on the spot
In all the lusting and the lying, the slandering and the what not
With all these and more you managed to untie that knot with God
In Christ, the perfect picture that you were
But now you’ve done your best defacing & leaving it so blurred
And all that is left of you is no better than a burden
Upon your body, soul and every other person
You don’t have to listen, I know (your) Conscience is hearing me
As faithful as I’ve been to you I can’t continue faking
I’ve had enough, I know have so you don’t have to lie me
We go back to His grace together man or I’m leaving!
Alone!
