Buck 65 - That's The Way Love Dies [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

That’s the way love dies...

It starts when you’re a kid hiding in your room
Trying to forget. Decide and then assume
That
Everyone’s a threat. Names go in a book
Fire in the eyes. Flames show in a look
Burns a hole right through and out the other side
Days were filled with shame while my mother cried
I fell into a trap. Been in it ever since
I’ve seen a lot of things. Still I’m unconvinced
But I know the Devil’s real
He’s got a pretty voice and plays the pedal steel
He visits me at night when I’m sleeping like a log
I find it hard to breathe. Beaten like a dog
Death comes from above. Nothing underneath
Another one released. The number of the beast
Staring at the sun. The need to clear the air
Everything at once. A little here and there

Chorus:
Love drained my heart dry. That’s the way love dies
Tears fall from your eyes. That’s the way love dies
That’s the way love dies
Yeah, that’s the way it goes. The pounding of the drums
Waiting for a train - a train that never comes
Silence of the moon. Violence of the stars
Pedal to the floor. The science of the heart
Picking of the flowers. Handling of snakes
Breaking of the rules. Gambling. Mistakes
The ugly head is reared. I wonder who to call
Nowhere else to turn, fist goes through a wall
... Acting just like kids
Cutest little girl, knife between the ribs
Wander in the dark. Pacing in a cage
Removal of her beauty, replacing it with rage
So much on her mind, probably more than most
Run away from home, turn into a ghost
Promise that was made that day was such a joke
The whole thing disappeared in a puff of smoke

[Chorus]
Little here and there. Almost over night
When you look away. Right before your eyes
Lying in your bed. When you least expect
