Thomas Djossou - Break (Lights Out) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Welcome to my quicksand floored, glass box
Where the only thing that can save you is stop moving and pray it stops
I stay awake
How could I sleep knowing so much more awaits
Been so long since I last saw the broad day
Only way I can go is down, might suffocate
Before I bounce back, find myself in the same place
Different scene, running the same play
Behind the glass, always the same still faces
Emotionless, they just stand there staring
What’s wrong, my clothes? Have I got something in my teeth?
Do I walk funny to you? Do I talk funny to you?
And so standing there, I sink can’t run can’t hide can’t scream
The music’s too loud, I can’t think or was that my wown heart beating?
I can’t even tell
Pain isn’t real if it’s physical right?
No one could understand
Just let me out

[Verse 2]
Shut the door and shut the lights
This is a dead-end as real as it gets
This is 20 shotguns aimed at my heart
Set to go off at the first wrong step
But what’s a wrong step if not a step out of line
And what’s a bullet if not looks of disapprobation
Look at you, I mean me, I mean the reflection
I’m just saying, why am I still so driven by the need to satisfy my parents
Sheeps, if you keep running toward the cliff you better off down there
16 and you still headed nowhere
You ain’t got a job, goals or a perspective
You got okay grades, but look, life is unfair
If you didn’t have this mirror, who would you be talking to right now?
Do you think anybody cares how you feel right now?
You want to be left alone but you don’t want to be lonely
Because when you and the world meet
You don’t really know what it wants from you
Be yourself, not like that though
Every day you spend being who they want you to be
You look in the mirror and you don’t like what you see
But most importantly, how can you stop becoming who they need you to be
To be accepted?
