Twist In My Sobriety

Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning I wipe my brow
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
We just poked a little pie
For the fun people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Cup of tea, take time to think, yea
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
"Twist in My Sobriety" by Tanita Tikaram (not Chester Page) is an enigmatic and metaphoric song that speaks to the idea of self-discovery and self-acceptance. The song begins with the idea that all God's children need "travelling shoes," which is likely a reference to the need to move on from one's problems and challenges. The song then moves on to suggest that good people read good books and study their conscience, which will give them a clear conscience. The repetition of the phrase "now your conscience is clear" suggests a desire to find clarity and purity of thought.
The second verse delves into the struggle of the singer to heed someone's advice, the idea that they like to think they can be "so willed" as to never do what they are told. The singer then likens their eyes to holograms, an illusion that they can see through, and speaks of their love causing their hands to bleed. The final verse of the song speaks to the idea that everyone is struggling in their own way and that all God's children have taken their toll. The song ends with the repeated phrase "more than twist in my sobriety," which suggests that the singer is looking for something more meaningful than simply "twisting" in their sobriety.

Всем хорошим деткам нужны кроссовки,
Чтоб убежать от проблем
Все хорошие люди читают хорошие книги
Теперь твоя совесть чиста
Я слышу, как ты говоришь, девочка
Теперь твоя совесть чиста.
Утром, когда я стряхиваю сон,
Отбрасываю далеко
Хотелось бы думать, что я могу быть твердой
И никогда не сделаю, что ты говоришь
Я никогда не услышу тебя
И никогда не сделаю, что ты говоришь.
Смотри, мои глаза — всего лишь голограммы
Смотри, твоя любовь окрасилась кровью в моих руках
В моих руках. Знаешь, ты никогда не станешь
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка.
Мы лишь немного повеселились,
Развлеклись, как люди по ночам
Поздней ночью враждебность не в почете
Застенчивая улыбка — и крепости сданы.
Меня не заботит то, что они думают
Для меня все точки зрения хороши
Вооруженные и преследуемые
Все дети Господа приносят свою жертву.
Смотри, мои глаза— всего лишь голограммы
Смотри, твоя любовь окрасилась кровью в моих руках
В моих руках. Знаешь, ты никогда не станешь
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка.
Давай-ка поразмыслим за чашечкой чая, да
Настало время рисковать жизнью, жизнью, жизнью
Милый и хорошенький
Мягкий и толстый
Ты обжираешься, пока не осознаешь
Ты обжираешься, пока не осознаешь.
Многие люди читают газеты
В этом нет ничего плохого
Приятные люди, нервные люди...
Ведь люди должны продавать
Новости должны продаваться.
Смотри, мои глаза— всего лишь голограммы
Смотри, твоя любовь окрасилась кровью в моих руках
В моих руках. Знаешь, ты никогда не станешь
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка
Смотри, мои глаза— всего лишь голограммы
Смотри, твоя любовь окрасилась кровью в моих руках
В моих руках. Знаешь, ты никогда не станешь
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка
Большим, чем помутнение моего рассудка.
