Anemic - Still Waters [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
People always doubted me and thought I'd never reach my dreams
But now it seems someone's gotten through my seams and seen the real me
And I feel opened like you cut into my veins
But at the same time, I feel a connection that we've made
I feel like I can trust you, you've seen who I really am
And what I really do, when I rap, I'm no longer mad
It's kinda sad where I was before to see that I've made it here, away from fear
Only afraid of fear to eat me but I won't let it get near me

Just because you never saw my spirit in tears
Doesn't mean my soul doesn't hurt, my heart and mind have gone to Hell and back here
They've made it, and music has saved it
Now I'm waiting for my chance to get here and I'll take it
There will be so many people I'll meet and look forward to seeing
And if any of them doubt because of my personality
That's alright, you're like everyone else who started with my dream
I just want you all to remember, still waters run deep

[Verse 2]
When I was growing up, I always used to be really timid
Minded my own business, sick with all these uncertain feelings
I was filled with creativity while I was trapped by reality
Who knew I'd grow up to be so vicious with this mentality
Inside my mind, as a child, I was fighting a fight
Praying and hoping to God that I'd never reach that one night
I didn't want to be left in fright because I was being picked on
And treated like the normal class, learning my left from my right

I know I didn't deserve it, it hurt they didn't know I had potential
Essentially, I'm upset that you didn't think I was gifted, I felt mental
Just look at me now, I'm opening opportunities myself
Too bad you didn't see this in me six years ago when I really needed help
Getting out of this hole, I was already filled with talent
But then it vanished and I had to relearn it and make learning a habit
I was tired of that crap, opened my chances in high school without my father
And low income, I made it, these are no longer still waters

[Verse 3]
I've been making so many friends along the way
I think this is cut out for me, rap's the place I'll stay
To this day, it's helped me cope with suicide, bullying, and pain
I retaliated, attained a grip on life, and now it's maintained
Just wait, some day you'll see me on the stage and I will have made it
Going from being timid and shy to making my way through tough mazes
Amazing the fans by showing them still waters turning to fast rapids
My growth is rapidly having an impact on my rapping

Used to think my life was crappy and that was a handicap
Enjoy life while you can and let the waves guide you, ride it while you can
Trust me, it'll all get better
When everyone knows what runs under those waters like bad weather
This song is the peak of emotion and the center of a storm
The center of the anger, getting real before I end the war
It's getting cold more and more as you wait longer, so take advantage of
Your opportunities, please understand that life is short
