Thrice - Madman [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Our course is coarsely plotted
[verse]
On a map of shoddy dreams
But hindsight will reveal
Time's moving faster than it seems
Maybe I'm just selfish
Cause I've got nothing left to give
I'm still a foolish boy
I've got a lifetime left to live

[pre-Chorus]
I was swinging like a madman
Not quite sure what I'd felled
And I might never understand
Exactly what it was I'd held
Now I watch the sun descending
From the weathered gravel roof
And I recall the sky [this guy?] once told me
That all lies lead to the truth

[Chorus]
So I'll look the other way
And I'll turn a deafened ear
And I'll talk of distant lands
Pretend I was never here

[verse]
Reality beads on my skin
Like a slicker in the rain
But now I feel it's soaking in
And I begin to feel the pain
I fight the urge to run to you
This is how it has to be
We've got to step away
Right now we're just too close to see

[pre-Chorus]
I was swinging like a madman
Not quite sure what I'd felled
And I might never understand
Exactly what it was I'd held
Now I watch the sun descending
From the weathered gravel roof
And I recall the sky [this guy?] once told me
That all lies lead to the truth

[Chorus]
So I'll look the other way
And I'll turn a deafened ear
And I'll talk of distant lands
Pretend I was never here

And I'll look the other way
And I'll turn a deafened ear
And I'll talk of distant lands
Pretend I was never here
