Otitis - Piano In The Dark [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[VERSE 1]

Ayo, it's two up in the morning with the lights off (lights off)
Insomnia got me up, time to write more (write more)
Tryna make some more beats, when my fingers hit the keys
I'm pleased, feel like everything alright, y'all

In my life, y'all really don't know what I'm feelin' day to day
So if you look me in my eye and see all of the hate and pain
Know I could be bangin' out some colors like it's Bathin' Ape
But music took to raisin' me, blame it for tryna save me, hey

I coulda sold drugs, coulda been a stickup kid
Coulda been an old thug, loadin' clips and shit
Coulda caught a chrome slug, from a pistol, it's
All thanks to music I don't do it, it's ridiculous

Don't think cash when I write my songs
I wanna last way longer than the time I'm gone
So next time you see the flash of my iPod on
Know I need it just to last, and do right from wrong, hold on

[Hook]

Softly, as if I play piano in the dark
Softly, as if I play piano in the dark
Softly, as if I play piano in the dark
Found a way to channel my anger, now to embark

[Verse 2]

Listen close to the message I move along to ya
There's a reason I'm aggressive in my songs, do ya
Know what it's like to fight the past, can't move on to a
Bright future? Music'll move me, keep my head on cooler

Softly, as I play piano in the dark
Know that every piece of rappin' comin' from my heart
No, I do not choose to speak happiness, singing larks
Cuz I ain't been a part of that sappyness, it's been hard

Bars are theraputic to me, it's an art
Disregard all the stupid talk, it plays a vital part
In the process of healing, let it rock till I feel it
This my Glock, and I'm killing all my got damn demons

To embark, on a sound mission
'Till I live around bliss and
'Till I'm in the ground
Hope everything all around glisten

Embark, on a sound mission
'Till I live around bliss and
'Till I'm in the ground
Hope everything all around glisten
