The Decemberists - A Beginning Song [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Let's commence to coordinate our sights
Get them square to rights, get them square to rights
Condescend to calm this riot in your mind
Find yourself in time, find yourself in time

[Chorus]
If I am waiting, should I be waiting?
If I am wanting, should I be wanting?
And all around me, all around me

[Verse 2]
Document the world inside his skin
The tenor of your shins
The timbre of your limbs

Now commence to kick each brick apart
To center on your heart
Starting with your heart (bright heart)

[Chorus]
If I am waiting, should I be waiting?
If I am wanting, should I be wanting?
If I am hopeful, should I be hopeful?
And all around me, all around me

[Outro]
Is it sunlight? Is it shadow?
It’s the quiet, it’s the word
It’s the beating heart, it’s the ocean, it’s the boys
It’s you, my sweet love (my sweet love)
Oh, my love (oh my love)
And the light, bright light
And the light, bright light
Bright light, bright light
It's all around me
It's all around me
It's all around me
