Elliott Smith - Memory Lane [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
This is the place you end up
When you lose the chase
Where you’re dragged against your will
From a basement on the hill

And all anybody knows
Is you're not like them
And they kick you in the head
And send you back to bed

[Hook]
Isolation
Pulled you passed
A tunnel to a bright
World where you can
Make a place to stay

But everybody's scared of this place
They're staying away
Your little house on memory lane

[Verse 2]
The mayor's name is fear
His force patrols the pier
From a mountain of cliche
That advances everyday

The doctor spoke a cloud
He rained out loud
You’ll keep your doors and windows shut
And swear you'll never show a soul again but

[Hook]
Isolation
Pushes you ‘til
Every muscle aches
Down the only road
It ever takes

But everybody's scared of this place
They're staying away
Your little house on memory lane

[Bridge]
If it's your decision
To be open about yourself
Be careful or else
Be careful or else

[Verse 3]
Uncomfortable apart
It's all written on my chart
And I take what's given to me
Most cooperatively

I do what people say
And lie in bed all day
Absolutely horrified
I hope you're satisfied

[Hook]
Isolation
Pushes past self-hatred
Guilt and shame
To a place where suffering is
Just a game

But everybody's scared of this place
They're staying away
Your little house on memory lane
Your little house on memory lane
