Thrice - The Messenger [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[verse]
Mark me with fear and trembling
Send someone else instead
I know my world is ending
I can't repay my debt

[pre-Chorus]
Can I carry such a heavy burden?
Can I move when I am paralyzed?
I see a fire behind a heavy curtain
I lean in closer and I close my eyes

[Chorus]
Kiss the coals; breathe in smoke
And I say, "Here I am, send me."
Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me, send me."
Free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me."

[verse]
Mark me with fire and send me
Among the living dead
They cannot comprehend me;
I watch the sickness spread

[pre-Chorus 2]
How can they hear me when their hearts are hardened?
How can they see me when they close their eyes?
So they can tell that I'm an easy target
A wooden saw is quite a way to die

[Chorus]
Kiss the coals; breathe in smoke
And I say, "Here I am, send me."
Lifts my soul, free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me, send me."
Free and so unafraid
"Here I am, send me."

"Here I am, send me."
