Tekst piosenki
[Intro]
Golden palace, perfect luck
Emerald gates that never shut
My life is everything I dreamed that it could be
And I just can’t get enough
I must have the Midas touch
And nothing could ever ruin this for me
[Verse 1]
Oops, I spoke too soon
Fell off cloud nine, woke up in a tomb
My skin is grey, my eyes are vacant
Clothes are bloody, mind is tainted
I fell asleep and I woke up in a warzone
They’re throwing grenades like, like they’rе playing cornhole
Or hacky sack, I’m always under attack
Got some bullеts in my back, now I don’t know how to act, ’cause
[Pre-Chorus]
All the people that were singing my praises
Brought their shovels, started digging my grave, and
Yeah, yeah, now I’m reanimating
All the people that were singing my praises
Are getting nervous ’cause they know that I’m raging
That’s how the story goes; it’s a tale as old as
[Chorus]
Dirt and the earth and the grim reaper driving the hearse
Old as hurt and a thirst for people to do their very worst
Happy ever after turn into disaster
’Round and around we go, it’s a tale as old as
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Tale as old as
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Tale as old as
[Verse 2]
Methuselah, am I losing ya?
Let me say it plainly, no confusion, yeah
Everything I’ve ever loved turned into a nightmare
These demons don’t wear gloves, no, they don’t fight fair
Now I’m all black eyes and bloody knuckles
Gone are the days of innocence and ruffles
Mirror, mirror, give me a clearer, clearer view
Of what the hell I should do
Before I go off like a nuke, ’cause
[Pre-Chorus]
All the people that were singing my praises
Brought their shovels, started digging my grave, and
Yeah, yeah, now I’m reanimating
All the people that were singing my praises
Are getting nervous ’cause they know that I’m raging
It’s how the story goes; it’s a tale as old as
[Chorus]
Dirt in the earth and the grim reaper driving the hearse
Old as hurt and the thirst for people to do their very worst
Happy ever after turn into disaster
’Round and around we go, it’s a tale as old as
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Tale as old as
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na, na
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Tale as old as
[Outro]
Golden palace, perfect luck
Emerald gates that never shut
My life is everything I dreamed that it could be
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
W dalszej części tekstu widzimy reakcję otoczenia, które wcześniej chwaliło bohatera, a teraz odwraca się od niego i symbolicznie „kopie jego grób”. To buduje motyw fałszywego uznania i szybkiej zmiany nastawienia ludzi, gdy sytuacja się pogarsza. Narracja pokazuje też narastającą wściekłość, traumę i utratę kontroli nad własnym życiem. Powracające odniesienia do śmierci, wojny i katastrofy nadają całości mroczny, niemal apokaliptyczny charakter. Tekst można więc interpretować jako opowieść o upadku z iluzorycznego raju do świata pełnego przemocy, zdrady i psychicznego wyniszczenia.
