Transit Gloria - Shenanigans [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

One day I woke up with a girl I'd never seen before, and said
"Hi, my name is Stephen, who are you?
And how'd you end up in my bed?"
She looked surprised, confused, astonished, maybe just a little sad
Said last night was one of the craziest that she'd ever had
I proceeded to inquire, then she told me a story that blew my mind

Apparently I...

Tried to steal a cop car
Got my ass kicked at a bar
Ran through Boston with no pants on
Didn't make it very far
TP'd a 4 star hotel
Climbed a building then I fell
Tried to ride the subway with no pants on
It didn't go over well

It didn't go over well

One day I woke up in a land I'd never been before, said
How'd the fuck I get here, where are my clothes
And why is that tiger so mad?
The natives looked surprised, astonished, maybe just a little sad
Said last night was one of the craziest that they'd ever had
I proceeded to inquire and they told me a story that blew my mind

Apparently I...

Booked a flight to Italy
Stole a boat and sailed the sea
Climbed the pyramids of egypt
Not a legal place to pee
Crashed a random Shaman dance
Still not wearing any pants
Led some rebels to revolt
And guess what, it didn't go over well

If my friends had been there
I think it would be another story
They would have saved me from myself
(They would have saved me from myself)

So here's to homies that will never ever leave you all alone
Here's to all my tightest bros

I am lucky to be alive
Am lucky to have you guys at my side
When I'm too fucked up to walk a line
With the spirit of youth we live each day of our lives
So thanks for the memories, and thanks for the times

The truth is pain led me here
Then planted it's seed inside
It sprouted, grew into guilt
Took root and multiplied
But in the course of a year
I struck it down, and it died
The ashes turned into fear and
Swept me away with the tide

Wake up and look in the mirror
Cold eyes look frightened and wide
I aimed, I missed, I was scared
But wasn't justified
I will not crumble and tear
I'll find a way, I'll survive
This burden's one I can bear
And it's what makes me alive
