Amity - Burning Bridges [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1:
You wake up to your alarm at six in the morning
Living a boring life is harmful – sitting and yawning
Thinking that all of your dramas will be hunky dory
Beginning the story of your struggle through a Monday morning
Twenty minute shower, stiff in suit and tie
Then the mirror frowning, thinking ‘who am I?’
Ready in an hour, read the paper ‘till your coffee’s cool
Late to work and you complain about the cost of fuel
Working a nine to five pigeon-hole job
You get told time will fly so you grip and hold on
But the work is piled high with a bitter old boss
And the money is like a bribe but you live on the dole/
Often sick of the whole lot – it shouldn’t be the end
You finish late again, you sook and break a sweat
You drink away your pay and put yourself to bed
Just to instigate the pain and do it all again

Hook:
Watching your options go up in flames/
And every foundation crumble at your feet
Build a bridge, get over it and burn it/
And you’ll see how humble you will be
(There's no turning back)
Watching your options go up in flames/
And every foundation crumble at your feet
Build a bridge, get over it and burn it/
And see if you can stomach the defeat
There’s no turning back

Verse 2:
What do you do when your saviour won’t save ya?
The Lord is lawed so you’re the alpha omega
Suburban bourbon and you have it straight, no chaser
You skull it but you know it’d take a no-brainer
You have a synapse and the last straw sn-aps
Walking audible tracks then the paths all collapse
A normal life is border-lined so cauterise the wound
Either fall or fly, the more you try, the more you’re likely to
You may die in cold blood but not in vain
It’ll stop the pain but it’ll come around like helicopter blades
Question everything and avert the stray sheep
You've got to spread your wings and learn to break free
But you’ve burned your bridges and there’s no turning back
So you burn your pictures – they get thrown in the trash
You burst the hinges and you open the latch/
Only to return the wishes and draw both curtains back
But you know that there's no turning back
No, there's no turning back


(Hook)

Verse 3:
We don’t all get where we want to go in this life
We have ideas but we don’t get to know what it’s like
It’s easy to get lost on a road that divides
But that’s what loved ones are for and I owe it to mine
So if you’re thinking this life is not enough/
And you’re craving something more, then try to soften up
Appreciate the little things, admire what is done/
For you – live, laugh, love and be nice to everyone
Despite this, I understand why you’re taking purges
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life making burgers
But that doesn’t mean I live like each day is urgent
Live life one breath at a time and embrace your purpose
You can smoke a pack of cigarettes a day
Slow suicide and every night, drink to vent the pain
But once you realise that you’ve given them away
You’ve taken your first step on the path to live a better way
