Lyrics and translation
Original
Mama said, "It's the grit that makes the pearl.
Hold your head up high, you're my girl. "
But I found it really hard.
And daddy said, "It's the songs that you're gonna sing, that'll change your world if you let 'em in. "
I was starving from the start.
And as they went to bed,
I let the song inside.
I put my headphones in, start to spin, and leave this world behind.
I turn the reether up, don't give a fuck if my neighbors hear me cry.
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night.
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night.
People say, "Only stars go to Hollywood.
Get a life, get a job, get some other hood. "
And that kinda broke my heart.
Brother said, "You're a tiger who's gonna run, but you hide in the fire when you're sore foot. "
And that really hit me hard.
As they went to bed,
I let the song inside.
I put my headphones in, start to spin, and leave this world behind.
I turn the reether up, don't give a fuck if my neighbors hear me cry.
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night.
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night.
Splinters left from the hardwood floor.
Well, I couldn't love them more. I carry the scars wherever I go.
Winters washing above my head.
Well, I didn't notice then, but they were the best of all the moments.
And if I could go back then.
I'd put my headphones in, start to spin, and leave this world behind.
I'd turn the reether up, don't give a fuck if my neighbors hear me cry.
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night.
When I'm dancing in my kitchen at night.
Dancing in my kitchen at night. Dancing in my kitchen at night.
