Shawn Phillips - Numb To It [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Numb To It by Shawn Phillips
Album: The Growing Pains

(Verse 1)
Im on the path I was given, its just another mission
This worlds made of cells, were all in a prison
If it was my decision, ide beg you all to listen
Light shining through a prism to a new dimension
Learn about ascension, its all in your beliefs
A world analyzed by the power and the greed
Balance on this beam before it leaves a hole in me
Cause its hard to see the truth were taught to deceive
Become a working man with dirt on each sleeve
No mind to undermine the goals they want to reach
Devine time to be your own kind and retreat
Forget every lesson that you learned til this beat
Use every word I speak to lure defeat
A game where the playing field is open to the streets
New players up against the varsity team
Carve the score in stone with nothing but my bones

(chorusx2)
Cause every intentions good
But this bad decision making
And now im mis understood
Take me as a gimmick
Really its all good
I barley catch feelings
My body is all numb

(Verse 2)
Follow my every move, be my shadow
Im building bridges from the oustide of a castle
Who knew becoming a king would be a hastle
And doing it is hard while im dealing with these assholes
But I learn to make it work
Took it all for granted when I heard about the percs
Now im left standing with my hands covered in dirt
From diggin real deep, the treasure is in the heart
The art is in the brain and you gotta learn to tame it
Once you do the beast in the cage goes crazy
I feel like an animal and nobody can contain me
Just say your proud of me cause you really can't blame me
For wanting money so bad
Cause growing up its something I never had
Ide love to see me dad come begging for the cash
Ide probably give him shit and tell him to whip his ass

(chorusx2)
Cause every intentions good
But this bad decision making
And now im mis understood
Take me as a gimmick
Really its all good
I barley catch feelings
My body is all numb
