MikelWJ - Soothsayer [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse One: MikelWJ]
What happens when I look at the ideas of my youth
After coming to realize that none of them are the truth?
It gives a chance for me to build up off some definite proof
Since that's the only honest way that I can see to improve
They said that I was a goner, talking 'bout death with dishonor
But I showed them all a smile and said that I was stronger
I gave them reason and rhyme to show them progress with time
And only cursed in my music to fucking drive home a line
See my belief in a God just left me coated in sod
So when you look into my eyes you'll see my passion is gone
Imagine giving your all to something and no one supports
So you're stuck with pillow cases building castles and forts
Inadequate for protection from different forms of deception
So you just hide under the blankets from any human detection
I'm hoping all for the best, although I'm lost like the rest
Throwing single paths of light into the darkness at best

[Hook]
Soothsayer won't you give me your view
Just say the words, I don't care if it's true
I've been feeling like my song's almost through
Soothsayer, won't you tell me what to do

[Verse Two: MikelWJ]
I've been feeling grim like the reaper just came and talked to me
Maybe it's the fact that I'm leaning on my philosophy
Making people think it's okay to come up and talk to me
And the second I flip every word becomes a hypocrisy
I'm getting used to this feeling of being left on my own
I just hoped it would have faded by the time I was grown
I'm losing sleep every night, waking up fearing for life
In cold sweats from nightmares, like this isn't right
I saw my future start to dangle by the edge of some rope
Over fires that were burning at the fibers of hope
And there were looks of approval from all the people below
And every single one of them was someone special I know
It's fucking pitiful, that I've been such an uncommitted fool
Just looking for an answer and always breaking the golden rule
So show me my future with everything it can hold
And tell me, did I ever get happy or did I just get old?

[Hook]

[Bridge: MikelWJ]
Call this my therapy, but there's one I need to know
Who will be there for me? And will I reap all that I sow?
Tell me the truth about this world we live in
Because I honestly don't know

[Verse Three: MikelWJ]
More money, more problems, that's all these people said to me
And everyone who doubted, well homie they're all dead to me
They said that things would change once they called me a celebrity
The only things that changed we're my close friend's integrity
I feel more lonely then ever, Craving to wipe my slate clean
Praised as a fucking savior before I was eighteen
For writing songs that were getting people through tough times
And most people found themselves in my dumb rhymes

[Hook]
