Description
It smells of cheap coffee from a plastic cup, chlorine from the pool behind the building, and light philosophy, which usually arises somewhere between a weary road and a stranger's bed with crisp sheets. A motel is like a temporary stop where everyone finds what they are looking for: some find sleep, some find a TV with a hundred channels, and some find a strange calmness from the thought that life is truly shaped by one's own hands. There are no guarantees, only freshly brewed coffee in the morning and advice: “Don't rush, take each day as it comes.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
Welcome in to Motel Duke Cap, y'all.
0:27
Looks like you've been on the road for a
0:29
while there. Well, ain't no need to
0:32
worry now. You just come on in and make
0:36
yourselves at home. All the bedding's
0:39
fresh and there's cable on all the TVs.
0:43
And don't fret, it's all included. We
0:46
just want y'all to feel right at home
0:48
here. There's an ice machine down at the
0:51
end of the hall, and you can help
0:53
yourself to a cup of coffee down here in
0:55
the morning. We always make it fresh.
0:58
Don't be shy to go use that swimming
1:00
pool out back. Neither.
1:03
You see, here at Motel Decap, it's going
1:06
to be whatever you want to make of it.
1:10
If you ask me, your time is best spent
1:14
being you. Your life, for better or for
1:17
worse, is carved out by you. And ain't
1:21
none of us ever going to see anything
1:23
exactly the same. We're all just
1:26
standing in different corners of the
1:28
room. So don't let that worry you. None.
1:32
Just take it day by day.
1:35
Now y'all just come on in and start
1:37
dreaming.
