XVRHLDY - The Crutch (Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX rework) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Lust is nothing but love and trust at the same time
Lust is nothing not love or trust don't you dare lie
Lust is nothing but love and trust at the same time
Lust is nothing not love or trust don't you dare lie

Thoughts of ascension
Cost of redemption
Lost in the trenches
War with the senseless

[Verse 1: XVRHLDY]

Monochrome greys and hope, paint days
Finesse game played, should quit but crime pays

They want to murder me in time
They want to watch me tick away

I get hunger pains from the lack of monetary gain
And the medicine my man attained

We pedal hurt just to kill the pain
Break/brake lives just to kill the pain
It's a bi-cycle well oiled chain
It's ironic how that cycle made

Nerves are chords
Heart, percussion
Drugs cause/solve destruction


[Verse 2: XVRHLDY]
I'm a manic pessimist, charismatic to a fault though
All I really know is barcode
I just sold another dream
Took a ratchet to the art show, She can barely say Picasso
I'm so Georgia O'Keefe, Matisse, and Basquiat
Winter solstice, I rock the blue fox
Hennessy beach party, a new hatch

Trying to feel something
Just numb to it trying to feel
From afar I'm no good up close


Love me, from afar I'm no good up close (Repeat 4x's)

Give me your love
While I can still feel
I need your love
I need to feel real
I need to be healed
