Description
Under a street lamp, where the light seems slightly intoxicating, it suddenly becomes clear that sometimes even your own fatigue sounds like a lullaby. Your voice seems to argue with itself: sometimes whispering, sometimes choking on a cry, then rocking again, like a mother, lulling away the anxiety that no adult words can erase. Everything repeats itself - back and forth, sigh after sigh - until you realize that this is not about reconciliation or rebellion. It's about that strange place between “I'm fine” and “I've never felt worse.” Where it's hot not only in your body, but also in your head. Where you let go - and still hold on.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Came to understand last night under a lamplight that I called God.
I was in my nana's arms, and I accepted it all as she rocked me back and forth and back and forth and back. What if I don't give a shit? What if I am bored of it?
What if my own mother's mother knew it all and led me to it?
That this isn't for you. I don't do it for you.
You're a worm, the bird is due. If I get more, won't give it to you.
No, it's not meant for you. You're a worm, the bird is you.
If summer hurts too cold. Taste the sting as well.
Don't let the dream go spell.
It sure went well.
So sweet, so true.
Give me some good news.
So sweet, but it's not for you.
So me mum and nana rocks me back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.
I've never felt better. I've never felt worse. She's screaming louder than me.
We're two together, incomplete. Maybe I was born with it. Maybe it's just
Maybelline. Maybe I'll just listen to this woman's word flick the bean.
Maybe this isn't for you. I don't do it for you.
You're a worm, the bird is due. If I get more, won't share it with you.
No, it's not meant for you.
You're a worm, the bird is you.
If summer hurts too cold. Taste the sting as well.
Don't let the dream go spell.
It sure went well.
So sweet, so true.
Give me some good news.
So sweet, it's not for you.
