Ani DiFranco - Not Angry Anymore [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Growing up, it was just me and my mom against the world
And all my sympathies were with her when I was a little girl
And I've seen both my parents play out the hands that they were dealt
As each year goes by, I know more about how my father must have felt

[Chorus]
I just want you to understand that I know what all the fighting was for
And I just want you to understand that I'm not angry anymore
No, I'm not angry anymore

[Verse 2]
She taught me how to wage cold war with quiet charm
But I just want to walk through my life unarmed
To accept and just get by like my father learned to do
But without all the acceptance of getting by that got my father through

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Night falls like people into love
We generate our own light to compensate
For the lack of light from above
Every time we fight a cold wind blows our way
We can learn like the trees, how to bend, how to sway and say

[Coda]
I, I think I understand what all this fighting is for
And I just want you to understand
I'm not angry anymore, no, I'm not angry anymore
