Lyrics & Translation
English
[The Pantaloon]
Your grandpa died
When you were nine
They said he had
Lost his mind
You have learned
Way too soon
You should never trust the pantaloon
You are tired
You are hurt
A moth ate through
Your favorite shirt
And all your friends fertilize
The ground you walk
Lose your mind
[Semi-Automatic]
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside my mind
[Forest]
Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Down in the forest, we'll sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher, we'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
[Screen]
I'm standing in front of You
I'm standing in front of You
I'm trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
I'm standing in front of You
I'm standing in front of You
I'm trying to be so cool
Everything together trying to be so cool
(Trying to be so cool, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
[Ode To Sleep]
But I tell 'em
Why won't you let me go
Do I threaten all your plans?
I'm insignificant
Please tell 'em
You have no plans for me
I will set my soul on fire
What have I become?
I'll tell 'em
[Addict With a Pen]
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
I know I haven't been the best of sons
Hello, I've been traveling in the deserts of my mind
And I haven't found a drop
I tried desperately to run through the sand as I
Hold the water in the palm of my hand
Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and
The waves of the water mean nothing to me
But I tried my best and all that I can to
Hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain
I'm just being dramatic
In fact
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who's addicted to the wind
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
But it's the end of today
End of my ways
As a walking denial
My trial was filed
As a crazy suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying
You hear me screaming "Father"
And I'm lying here just crying
So wash me with your water
[Screen]
We're broken
We're broken
We're broken
We're broken people, oh
We're broken people, oh, yeah
We're broken

A Few Older Ones (traducción LyricVerse Team)
[The Pantaloon]
Tu abuelo murió
Cuando tenías nueve
Dijeron que él había
Perdido la cabeza
Has aprendido
Demasiado pronto
Nunca deberías confiar en el pantalón
Estás cansado
Estás herido
Una polilla se comió
Tu camisa favorita
Y todos tus amigos fertilizan
El suelo que pisas
Pierde la cabeza
[Semi-Automatic]
Nunca soy lo que me gusta
Soy doble cara
Y simplemente no puedo esconderme
Me gusta un poco
Cuando te hago llorar
Porque estoy retorcido, estoy retorcido, dentro de mi mente
[Forest]
Abajo en el bosque, cantaremos un coro
Uno que todos conocen
Manos en alto, estaremos en llamas
Cantando canciones que nadie escribió
Abajo en el bosque, cantaremos un coro
Uno que todos conocen
Manos en alto, estaremos en llamas
Cantando canciones que nadie escribió
[Screen]
Estoy de pie frente a Ti
Estoy de pie frente a Ti
Estoy tratando de ser tan genial
Todo junto tratando de ser tan genial
Estoy de pie frente a Ti
Estoy de pie frente a Ti
Estoy tratando de ser tan genial
Todo junto tratando de ser tan genial
(Tratando de ser tan genial, sí sí, sí sí)
[Ode To Sleep]
Pero les digo
¿Por qué no me dejas ir?
¿Amenazo todos tus planes?
Soy insignificante
Por favor, diles
No tienes planes para mí
Prenderé fuego a mi alma
¿En qué me he convertido?
Les diré
[Addict With a Pen]
Hola, no hemos hablado en bastante tiempo
Sé que no he sido el mejor de los hijos
Hola, he estado viajando por los desiertos de mi mente
Y no he encontrado una gota
Intenté desesperadamente correr por la arena mientras
Sostengo el agua en la palma de mi mano
Porque es todo lo que tengo y es todo lo que necesito y
Las olas del agua no significan nada para mí
Pero hice lo mejor que pude y todo lo que puedo para
Sostener firmemente lo que queda en mi mano
Pero no importa cuán, cuán fuerte me esfuerce
La arena me ralentizará y el agua se escurrirá
Solo estoy siendo dramático
De hecho
Solo estoy en esto de nuevo
Como un adicto con un bolígrafo
Que es adicto al viento
Mientras me sopla de un lado a otro
Sin mente, sin espina dorsal y fingiendo
Por supuesto que estaré aquí de nuevo
Nos vemos mañana
Pero es el fin de hoy
Fin de mis caminos
Como una negación andante
Mi juicio fue presentado
Como un caso de locura suicida
Pero tú te especializas en morir
Me oyes gritar "Padre"
Y estoy aquí tirado solo llorando
Así que lávame con tu agua
[Screen]
Estamos rotos
Estamos rotos
Estamos rotos
Somos gente rota, oh
Somos gente rota, oh, sí
Estamos rotos
