Speed on the Beat - Thanatos (Stories Through Music) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse One: Speed on the Beat]
What a wild wondrous journey it's been...
Delving through the mind of the Modern Man
First came death, then birth...then ascension, so...
The last portion of the puzzle is regarding death, again
I started from the bottom, but I flew past these ducks...
Even if it's takes five years for the world to catch up
Cat's up, no spoon, no cradle, no moon
I've jumped a broom, but your shark's circling again soon
Impending doom for the few who tried to build an early tomb!
I told you back when I was J dot, that I was leaving when I soon
Realized all the real eyes'd revitalized, sunrise...
And the spirits of the forefathers could sleep, without surprise
You surmised, Pre-Reprise, that I'd achieved everything
I had my family back and a cohesive CD
Your assumptions lacked substance, surface scratching with things...
Had to become my own happiness to truly spread my wings

[Hook x2]
I...reclaim what's rightfully mine
To become happy among men, part of you must die
But part must remain, to tell the scripture to prove it
That's why we did this, to paint our stories through music

[Interlude One:]
Why are you here?

[Verse Two: Speed on the Beat]
As Instrumentality has arrived, I've ascended above all beings
That once shackled me down with iron bars and shoe strings
Jesus, Yahweh, Muhammad and Jehovah
I thought that on Soul Revival, my homie True told you?
That if this world's run by man-made religion
Then we need peace on EARTH to achieve a world worth living!
Stop following blindly behind every man of the cloth and see
Thanksgiving dinner disguised as a feast
These rap gods disguised by the all-seeing eye
And no, that doesn't just mean Illuminati
Used to sympathize with the Shinji Ikaris
Of the world because my life never had a daddy
My mom was always coping with pain by drinking
It's a wonder ALL those traits didn't get passed to me
Used to run up on cats, had to flash the heat
Up in UMD parties, footlong shank ready on me, but now...I'm ready

[Hook x2]

[Interlude Two:]
"But you...you have something that you can do--that only you can do. No one is forcing you! Think for yourself and make that decision by yourself. Think about what you have to do now. Think about no longer having any regrets."
"LET ME PILOT IT! Please..."
"Direct hit on the third foundation..."
"Damn it, it's open...it's completely open!"
"...WHY are you here?"

[Verse Three: Speed on the Beat]
Didn't trust the world, and it didn't trust me
No wonder why I left Raquel, when she said she loved me
Foreign figure, they sent out antibodies
And HE tried to body Speed, but I rose above these simple things
Though thorns did spout, and flames I did breathe
I became my own daemon, and they became me
I guess to achieve that echelon, that so-call Freudian death drive
Had to kick in high gear, or my self would not survive
Life through death, and rebirth through demise
These are the true meanings of redemption's reprise
So if there's anything left for me to say, this is it
Goodbye! Au Revoir! Close Scene! Fin...
Guess I might as well utilize part of me, I've kept inside
(LET ME PILOT IT!)
In other words, death is a state of mind
So as Speed on the Beat offers himself to transcend to the skies...

[Hook x2]
