Description
A fighter's drive mixed with confusion - like a fight on an empty street, where you end up fighting more with yourself than with anyone else. Fists, concrete, and yellow tape thunder in the lines, but between the blows, a question suddenly breaks through: where is the conductor through these walls? An explosion of energy coexists with cracks of doubt, and a smile is more like a mask holding the head together so that it doesn't fall apart. The music seems to march into battle, but inside, there is a search for a way out that may not exist.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Square up with me, I can take your right, throw a left
Pair up with me, I'ma take you right to the chest
Warpath etched in the surface
Lines of the yellow tape, they're movin' quiet like a serpentine
In a formation, buddy, that's my team, pretty impatient
Now they're waitin' on me
It might be the furthest we've reached
Now move it up, move it up, it's a breach
I wonder where you are
I wanted to you to show me
The way around those city walls
The way on through
I wonder where you are
I wanted to you to show me
But now the night was fallen
Abandoned by the sun
Square up with me, I can come to you, tell me when
Pair up with me, I can run on you in the end
I write a promise in pencil, but my loyalty's in pen
Use a mistake as a crooked stencil
Then we trace it back again
From the mainland to the island of violence
It was the same plan for a while, decided
To send me up and rip you out of your seat
You see, in a city with no entrance there is not a retreat
I'm wondering' what you thought would happen
Who you thought I would be
Was this a sideswipe, or did you picture this in a dream?
Buckle down, this is possibly the furthest we've reached
Now move it up-up, move it up-up, it's a breach
I wonder where you are
I wanted to you to show me
The way around those city walls
The way on through
I wonder where you are
I wanted to you to show me
But now the night was fallen
Abandoned by the sun
Abandoned by the sun
Uh-oh
Uh-oh, oh
My smile wraps around my head, splittin' it in
Two, two, two, two
I don't have a clue how I can keep the top half
Glued, glued, glued, glued (uh-oh)
My smile wraps around my head, splittin' it in
Two, two, two, two (uh-oh)
I don't have a clue how I can keep the top half
Glued, glued, glued, glued
I wonder where you are
I wanted to you to show me
Entertain my-
Entertain my-
Entertain my-
Entertain my-
Entertain my-
Entertain my-
Entertain my-
Entertain my faith
This is the last time
This is the last time
Entertain my faith
This is the last time that I try
Address my soul
Address my soul
Address my soul
Entertain my faith
This is the last time that I try
