Electric Daisy Carnival Vol. 1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sono le quattro e vorrei
Scappare dal buio e da sti guai
Ma non so più che fare oramai
Ok, Ei, Ei
Sono le quattro di mattina
Non sai che aria tira
Baby se scotta la cima
Ye, ye, forse crisalide
Forse cartagine
Ma la vita è un labirinto
Dove la destra no non ha immagine
Yah, prima correvo dal buio
Ora ci vivo nel buio
Mi sento dentro a un tunnel non vedo la luce
L'ansia mi chiama mi chiede aiuto
Baby non parlarmi woo
Che mi menti già lo so
Resterò diverso, resterò strano
Anche quando raggiungerò il top
Mes sono io come la coop
Baby ho l'ansia da stop
No non mi fermo
Anche morto nel letto
Farò la musica lo giuro sto sempre attento, vincerà il diverso
Sembrerà strano ma a volte fisso il vuoto mi dona risposte
Quello che scegli comporterà mosse
Tutto torna come giostre
La tua offerta cosa offre
(Yah, tutto torna come giostre
Ora che ho l'ansia per lo stress
Tutto quello che fai bro è no sense
Switcho tra la luce e il buio con suspence)
Ya ora che, ora che, ora che, che
Sono mes, sono mes, sono mes, mes
Questa troia che mi chiama non la voglio
Prendo una solo andata no non torno
Yah, brother mi chiami dal cielo
L'amore è più tossico di un veleno
Mi chiamo unomes sincero
Simone non lo vedevo
Avevo il paraocchi
Mentre te anche senza sembri scemo
Yah, yah, ora che mi hai perso
Sto un attimo, mi fermo e ci penso
Mes esce vincente mi chiami ma no, non sento
Se ti serve un pretesto
Vieni ad un mio concerto
Ci credo, sicuro che ci riesco (for sure)
Yah, sento sto fuoco che arde
Tu fatti da parte
O voi che entrate lasciate ogni speranze
L'inferno è un posto caloroso come, l'abbraccio di tante
A volte sento un vuoto dentro
Bro mi spengo e non cerco di stare apposto
Va a finire che lo colmo con l'odio
Ogni essere merita un posto
Il mio l'ho nascosto
Ma ora voglio dirlo a tutto il mondo
La coerenza dove sta
Come chi mangia nel ramadan
Non ha senso ma
Mes vincerà
Dieci giorni ha perso
Ma un giorno ci riuscirà
