The Who - Athena [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Athena, I had no idea how much I would need her
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong
But I think I will get along
She's just a girl – she's a bomb
Athena, all I ever want to do is please her
My life has been so settled and she is the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl – she's a bomb

[Chorus]
Just a girl just a girl[x3]
She's just a girl

[Verse 2]
Athena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath
I felt like one of those flattened ants you find on a crazy path
I would of topped myself to give her time she did not need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath?
She's just a girl – she's a bomb
Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You got me requisitioned Blondie
She's just a girl – she's a bomb

[Chorus]
I'm happy, I'm ecstatic
Just a girl just a girl[x3]
She's just a girl

[Verse 3]
Look into the face of a child
Measure how long you smiled
Before the memory claimed
How long would children remain[x2]
Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her"
It felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter
And now you are stuck with a castrated leader
And I hate the creep, I didn't mean that

[Bridge]
She's a bomb
I just said it
She is a bomb
I didn't mean it, please
She's a bomb

[Outro]
Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
My life has been so settled and she is the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I get along
She's just a girl, she's a bomb[x2]
