Hotel Books - Lungs [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Scream hallelujah until you cough up blood
Cause the devil came for our minds but he left with our love
So I looked into myself for something I knew nothing about
Scream hallelujah until you cough up blood
Cause the devil came for our minds but he left with our love
So I looked into myself for something I knew nothing about
And found no solutions but found a lot of doubt
And slowly found out my heart was a trap door waiting for the right one to fall in the center
So she would take a final bow and become mine forever
I found a pocket of comfort and acceptance and called it love
But it was just another season that would end with leaves falling into mud
So we found ourselves in a new world where we would have to live out a fear and call it living by faith
A journey of forgetting who we are so we could remember our place
And we tried to read maps backwards to lead us back to the beginning of the journey
The only place we could walk hand in hand and not feel so lonely
Then those maps of tangled lines became our footprints in sinking sand
We're being washed away by waves of trusting each other to feel complete
But they came up short until we both felt alone and empty
No breadcrumbs laid down to lead us back to safety
We thought this was built to last until we died but even that doesn't mean forever
At least not in my mind
I trust in my ability to love more than I trusted love
And I trusted your smile as your emotion not a mask to cover up your hand scooping up buckets of blood
We would travel far and see many new things
And we believed we could be anything
As long as we had each other
But the bother came when another stayed long enough to give you the feeling I did when this journey began
And now our hands are completely stained red
As we journey to see new country roads connected to the broken dreams of families
The roads lined with animals waiting for their turn at the slaughter
Reality on the roads we see and a metaphor for our sons and daughters
Cause the blood on our hands was the only way to keep the root of our love watered
And we have nothing to believe in but we still wanted to die like martyrs
And when someone came to carry me on this journey
The blood of our past flooding our beliefs
I watched someone come along and part the red sea
But even on dry land I couldn't breathe
Because my body built an immunity to your apathy
And that's all I needed to believe love was the reason I could stand on my own two feet
Scream hallelujah until you cough up blood
I inhaled this world for so long
I tore out my lungs
I tore out my lungs
I tore out my lungs
