Walls
Dan & Sam feat. Maxx Hennard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

난 원해 쉬운 삶 the simple life
꿈인 듯한 안 꾸민 kind of vibe
자유로운 거 택해 what you do
엄만 웃고 말했지 꼭
You raise a son like you
And these walls don't hold me
절대 갇히지 않았어 in my head
No, this frame don't hold me
It don't control me
I take over instead

I dream and sing about a better life
꽉 막힌 길은 절대 못 참지 난
Move out roll out the carpet out my way
Grandma says to ma
지 아빠랑 똑같아서 너만 고생이네 (yeah yeah)

정해진 색 없이
My own way
My design
My art
My everything

내가 꿈꾸던 lifestyle it is
뭘 그리 고민했는지
I live to see a better life

난 원래 원했어 the simple life
안 꾸민 듯한 꿈인 simple vibe
고민하나 없이 맘대로 whoo!
하고 싶으면 what you waiting for
I'm ready, too (woo)

And I pray 제발 for peace of mind
Life on the beach
바다처럼 넓고 싶어 하는 내 마음
내 지혜는 날카로운 도끼
벽에 걸린 내가 원하는 그림
스케치한 삶 이 정도 느낌
Snap a pic and frame it, looky
틀을 대충 잡는들 알잖아 늘
I got the juice

We slow it down
Wait slow it down
We slow it down, yeah

정해진 색 없이
My own way
My design
My art
My everything

내가 꿈꾸던 lifestyle it is
뭘 그리 고민했는지
Yeah, I live to see a

난 원해 쉬운 삶 the simple life
꿈인 듯한 안 꾸민 kind of vibe
자유로운 거 택해 what you do
엄만 웃고 말했지 꼭
You raise a son like you

And these walls don't hold me
절대 갇히지 않았어 in my head
No, this frame don't hold me
It don't control me
I take over, instead





I dream and sing about a better life

Just found that track in Piet van noord ep.58 amazing track! :)
Lyrics:
Don’t get in your head,
you've got potential – that you don't even know. Yeeah.
And I know how cloudy things can get,
but only you can make that cloud go away.

The only walls we've got, are the walls we built ourselves.
The only walls we have, are the walls we built ourselves.

I just had "The only walls we've got are the ones we build ourselves" tattooed on my inner arm last week after finding this track on a Prog House Mix #7 by DJ Rasbby from 2013. These words kept replaying in my head even when I wasn't listening to the mix. Just seemed like the right words at the right time in my life.

@monstercatsilk

Wow, Dave -- that's amazing. We'd love to see the tattoo, if you're open to sharing a photo (info@silk-music.com).

@TPSAUXO2009
