II Kings - Selfish [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: DMB]
Take a look into the broken mirror
Before the storm clouds and the night get nearer
Shards of glass makes the sight unclear
But we're 'bout to move into a golden era
Street lights are blinding - hypnotizing
Feel like they're trying to, stop me from finding
Keep left and there's only one way
Into the horizon the path keeps winding
But there's one thing I definitely know
At the end of time, there'll be judgment of the soul
And the only thing that's accountable
Is everything you are, not everything you own
Don't be so selfish
You don't know the hell this created all the needy and the helpless
Pride on the shelf bitch
Our music's free - we don't need to sell this.. so why do they say I'm..

[Hook: DMB]
Selfish, cause I'm not
Everything I have I would gladly give up

[Verse 2: Elusive]
I thought I had it figured out, but no
I guess life's not ready to let me, let go
On the surface, I might seem calm
But on the inside I feel like I'm gonna explode
I don't even know how to explain it
In terms you might understand
So I write these songs, to try to figure it out myself
And if I ever do, then you will be the first to know
But if I do blow, up
Then I guess it just must be a by-product of growth
And until then this industry is
Gonna try to keep on fucking us both
Cause II Kings ain't ever selling out
I would rather sell fish
But I make each one of these songs for you
So don't you ever try to say I'm..

[Hook]

[Verse 3: DMB (w/ Elusive)]
I would give up everything I earn
As long as I remember everything I learn
(Cause the things I gave up that mattered most to me)
(I know will one day return)
And that day is coming so soon
If you don't prepare then it's gonna consume
(Your body, like a werewolf)
(In the night underneath the full moon)
I'm lost, chasing a shadow
I feel like I just can't escape from this battle
(I'd been knocked down)
(But I'm 'bout to swallow my pride and jump straight back on that saddle)
But now that I know where I'm going
There's no need to pack my satchel
(Some might think I am lost)
(But I would rather that they think that than say I'm..)

[Hook]

[Outro: DMB]
Oohh.. They say I'm selfish
Ooohhh.. They say I'm selfish
They say I'm selfish
But I'm not..
