Voss - Soak It In [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

First lightning stuck
Twice at once, it might be luck
Then our line was cut by flying sparks
Inside the dark and our eyes were shut
Grew closer each night we touched
Which might be cause your grip tightened up
Fight and fuck, hate and love
Bite my tongue, taste my blood
Babydoll, take it all
Ain't nobody gon' break your fall
Trust ain't involved, only chances
We had one too many last dances
Truthfully, it ain't how it used to be
Thanks to my interest's truancy
Built it up, burned it down
Filled the cup, slurped it out
Curtain's down, the show's over
Buzz is gone, we're stone sober
Drenched by her melted cold shoulder
So I rolled over and told her...

[Hook - Cold War Kids and Voss]
"Now hang me up to dry
You've rung me out too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the white wh-whites of your eyes"

And when I look into your iris
I wonder why you even tried this
Ripped your heart out through your eyelids
Dripping blood with nothing to dry it
[repeat]

Honestly, I got scared
Didn't mean to put you in my crosshairs
Taking aim without knowin' it
Too grown for this game of blame
Babydoll, it ain't your fault
Take my thoughts with grains of salt
And heal the cuts, seal 'em up
Happiness ain't something you feel enough
You live with struggle, an open journal
I'm in my bubble, I closed the circle
Won't open yet, don't hold your breath
I wasn't thinking when I wrote them checks
So I bounced, gave you no regrets
Forgive me, I'll get my clothes and jet
So the stress left her soaked in sweat
She turned to me with lost hope and said...

[Hook]

Why'd you even try this?
Ripped your heart out through your eyelids
But that's the beast that I lie with
Now, now...

"Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the white wh-whites of your eyes"
