Clean
Big Data Jamie Lidell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look back,
I see trails of myself.
Coulda been you,
Coulda been someone else.
All that I know is
I'm leaving that person behind.

I'm clean.
I've washed it all away.
I'm so clean.
You made me this way.
Now I'm ready to be
The face that never screams,
'Cause I know that you want me clean.

You gave me a taste of a life I could lead.
You gave me a face for the fools to believe.
Now I'm changing,
Becoming one of you.

I'm clean.
I've washed it all away.
I'm so clean.
You made me this way.
Now I'm ready to be
The face that never screams,
'Cause I know that you want me clean.

This life.
Oh, it's a dirty life,
But I can show you another way.
Don't you wanna be like me?
Don't you wanna be clean?

Now, I'm the darkness that hides in the light,
And it's laughable watching you put up a fight.
The door's always open, it's only a matter of time.

I'm clean.
I'm so clean.
Now I'm ready to be
The face that never screams,
'Cause I know that you want me clean.

I'm clean.
I've washed it all away.
I'm so clean.
You made me this way.
Now I'm ready to be
The face that never screams,




'Cause I know that you want me clean.
'Cause I know that you want me clean.

tradução da musica


Quando olho para trĂĄs
Eu vejo trilhas de mim mesmo.
Poderia ter sido vocĂȘ
Poderia ser outra pessoa.

Tudo o que eu sei Ă© que estou deixando essa pessoa para trĂĄs.

Estou limpo.
Eu lavei tudo isso.
Estou tĂŁo limpo.
VocĂȘ me fez assim.

Agora estou pronto para ser
O rosto que nunca grita
Porque eu sei que vocĂȘ me quer limpa.

VocĂȘ me deu um gostinho de uma vida que eu poderia levar.
VocĂȘ me deu um rosto para os tolos acreditarem.
Agora estou mudando
Tornando-se um de vocĂȘs.

Estou limpo.
Eu lavei tudo isso.
Estou tĂŁo limpo.
VocĂȘ me fez assim.

Agora estou pronto para ser
O rosto que nunca grita
Porque eu sei que vocĂȘ me quer limpa.

Essa vida.
Ah, Ă© uma vida suja
Mas posso te mostrar outro caminho.
VocĂȘ nĂŁo quer ser como eu?
VocĂȘ nĂŁo quer estar limpo?

Agora eu sou a escuridĂŁo que se esconde na luz
E Ă© ridĂ­culo ver vocĂȘ brigando.
A porta estĂĄ sempre aberta, Ă© sĂł uma questĂŁo de tempo.

Estou limpo.
Estou tĂŁo limpo.
Agora estou pronto para ser
O rosto que nunca grita
Porque eu sei que vocĂȘ me quer limpa.

Estou limpo.
Eu lavei tudo isso.
Estou tĂŁo limpo.
VocĂȘ me fez assim.

Agora estou pronto para ser
O rosto que nunca grita
Porque eu sei que vocĂȘ me quer limpa.
Porque eu sei que vocĂȘ me quer limpa.

I just stumbled across this on Spotify. I have no other reference points. Like games or other media that included music from Big Data.
SO...
THIS, ALL OF IT, PURE GENIUS.
The lyrics, vocalists, production the whole thing. Amazing!!
Should have millions listening.
I grew up in the music business. My dad is well known for his ear and putting it all together.
He decided to go in the opposite direction and then became a big name in software development.
At 38 he had accomplished more than I could ever hope to.
So the subject matter hits home here as well LOL.
I know the hard work that goes into this and rarely do musicians put out more than a couple of great songs.
2.0 , every song is BRILLIANT.
Looking forward to hearing more.

Konami did good job on picking songs for Pes 2017....

@Mr360attack

Pes song are always good

@peruvit

Yea, too bad they dont use that money on music licenses for more teams.

@twogk2514

Rey Co. Beats well maybe because teams licenses are more expensive ? just maybe eh. plus I don't think licenses are a problem as long as they keep the gameplay great, I've literally spent just 5 minutes downloading and installing option files withe the licenses of every single team/league.

@augustofranklim5409

TWOGK But you have admit that it's pretty strange to play teams like MD White ( Real Madrid ), Man Red/Blue ( Manchester United / City ) or London FC ( Chelsea ) and their alternate uniforms.
