Manchester Orchestra - Choose You [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

The invention of the ship
Was the invention of the shipwreck
I tried to find out who I was
By jumping off the deck
I intentionally clipped the intervention like a trip wire
Picked a color, tried to bribe the bygone back into its bed

I don't, I won't, I don't choose you

Underneath the Christian Court
There was this saying in the bricks
That you don't determine greatness
By a man's intelligence
No you won't determine greatness
Till you really start to dig
And you find out all those empty things
That he lets discourage him

I don't, I won't, I don't choose
I don't, I won't, I don't choose you

I tried to walk away
You broke the cast and tried to say
"I am not the man you knew
I am not the man you choose"

So you're back to back a wasted age
I tried to plead, you tried to pray
"I am not the man you knew
I am not the man you choose"

I don't, I won't, I don't choose
I don't, I won't, I don't choose you
