Thrice - Listen Through Me [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

See these ragged shoes?
The soles have worn straight through, while I've proclaimed
The king who sang the blues
If you've got better news then make it plain

He laid aside his crown
All our crimes he carried
Was lifted from the ground
And with our burdens buried

Listen to me, though I speak of sober things
Listen through me, though a man of lips unclean
I speak truly what you only think you've heard
Everything hangs on a word

Sparing no expense, he made recompense for all the earth; this story's an offense, so get down from that fence and bless or curse

He laid aside his crown
All our crimes he carried
Was lifted from the ground
And with our burdens buried

When shadows all had clung and the light diminished, he emptied out his lungs, crying "It is finished!"

Listen to me, though I speak of sober things
Listen through me, though a man of lips unclean
I speak truly what you only think you've heard
Everything hangs on a word
