Текст песни mei (Echolyn) с переводом

I find myself wishing for a ladder

To climb from this car

Did I say I loved you today?

Driving over hills and by beaten lonely towns

I think of you more now I’m gone

Outside it is blue and green

And everything once blurred is clear

I am part of the peripheral scene

That shines like cathedral glass

The sun breathes against the window

But its warmth just fades away

The humming road whispers low

It says sometimes you feel alone

Cause sometimes you are

And hope lies dead upon your shoulder

The signs are passing like ghosts

Too late to turn, too late now

Too late when, too late for everything

The road turns me away

From the last light of the day

Too late now, too late when

Too late for everything

We share more than the end

A tragic blend of cocktails with a kiss

My love grows anxious

Waiting for the cure — picking sores

We were careless

To be taken by such misery

That tastes of violence — the saints are silent

God won’t perform here anymore

My love is pale

A perfect shade of fear

Balled up on the floor

In need

We turned away the sun

Cold, empty, alone

Embrace the violence

The saints are silent

God won’t perform here anymore

Fade away, far away

I’ve lost all feeling

I go and come back

Like memories and symptoms

They go and come back forever evermore

Part of me remains abandoned in a circle

And part of me moves on

The wipers move back and forth confessing

The scenes pass through my eyes

Slipping through darkness

Deeper than oceans

The miles can’t purify

My dashboard glows cold liquid red

The miles tick on and on

Rainfall adds to a beat, lamenting

What’s been said and done

Out here there could be giants

I want to walk in their shade

Introduce me to a brand new kiss

Help me forget my love

Push thru another mile — one more day

Cash the promise of escape

Out here I am immortal

Live thru me

Sky has opened

Suppose I could ignore the rain

Should I listen to all that’s golden

And the ghosts of its curse

Ray: What have I done

Chris: Here I am

Brett: Live through me

Love is right in front of me so appealing — lies

Whispers drag me

Into this lonely place of misery

Where flies drown with beauty queens

Where tomorrow goes to die

Whiskey numbs me

Love rots in my heart

Broken men drink to heal

Their sting from a loaded flower

Poet’s eyes of fire

Burning holes

Drunk on his own words

Spit to gold

Poet’s Vegas smile

Twisting necks

Everybody’s friend

Face to face

Whispers want me

To drag the poet down

Whiskey wants me

To give in, give up, give out

There is no lamb, no hope

There is no garden, no peace

Tall proud, stand up loud

Nation national tradition traditional

Anthem icon march on folk song

In the fields and on the heath

I lose strength through joy

Mothers cry for the fatherland

Fathers cry for the motherland

God is with us, manifest destiny

Protect, avenge, remember old glory

Discipline, adrenaline

Revenge old glory

Don’t tread on me, don’t ask why

Right as rain, John Wayne

John Doe, GI Joe, GI Jane

Hatred twisted into pride

Fear twisted into obedience

For the good of the cause, Marshall laws, no quarter

I’ll be back, 5 stars, mars, red rivers

Markers, stones, bones

Living days like a sidearm

I loved the way I could repay

Pride has got me by the bootstraps

The trumpets sounded every day

Did I dream of stars and gardens

Tended rows crushed flat and dead

I saw you fall divine in shadows

Baptized in moonlight turned to red

I saw an army ripe ascending

Rising as the righteous do

They did love peace as a means to war

They trampled gods they overthrew

There in dust and sweat and power

I saw you drive spike into flesh

Now the blood is on your gamble

Spilling clean upon your bet

I hear the road beneath my wheels

Spin and roar

Spit my teeth blood and tongue

Dashboard Jesus on the floor

Smoke and glass and twisted steel

Hard to catch a breath

Hard to pay from all of this

Devil in my ear

Scratch keeps humming

Your end is not the end

Your life is not your life

Your time is mine to spend

Try to climb from all of this

My hold is weak and spent

Feel the ladder slip away

Devil rakes my back

So sorry my love

Gave you my everything

Made you my day

Became a part of me

No more wishing you away

Where were my kinder words

Where were my open arms

Where was my time for you

It was lost on a thousand reasons

And even now your heart is open… ready to receive

And even now I am forgiven… ready for love again

But my hope is a memory lost in sorrow… ground in the asphalt

And yet still it is born as new… ready to receive

My mistake was I learned to see the heads of my shadow

Damned in fate fighting them off everyday

Endlessly wandering — wondering

If I died would they leave my side

I crawled from under Mary’s feet

Into a pool of disbelief

Staring back at me

Stronger than ever — forever

Separate the useless from the green

Keep me safe

I would do anything it takes

To feel the sun again

I am ready to receive

Love waits like an aging whore

Like a faithful dog

Like a convict

In honeysuckle half-light

Love goes and comes again

Like junkies and fellows

Like birthdays and salmon

Inhale inhale exhale

Kiss me hello

Call me goodbye

My hope is a coin in a shattered fountain

Distorted

Out of touch

But shining through

My fear was a fever

That’s been cooled and forgiven

And I wait for the morning

When I come back to you…
