Description
Rubber burns, trailing smoke and all past mistakes like a shadow on the back seat. A box of shadows in the mirror, while time quietly crumbles away, like old streets beneath your feet. Asking for both silver and lead is almost a businesslike gesture, but it sounds like a plea at the cash register: ‘More, please.’ My great-grandmother's house is now almost foreign, the boundaries don't pass - they come and stay, like stains on a map. The heart is scratched, but it stands; the wound is not a sentence, but a reminder with thorns. Something heavy and at the same time funny: too much - and still not enough, so the choice is simple and rebelliously warm - choose yourself.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Quemo llanta, humo sigue
Blanco o verde, dame los dos
Y ya me siguen mis errores
Como mi sombra, boxeo de sombra
Mientras el tiempo se desintegra
Como las calles en la tira de Gaza
Ya ni conozco la casa de mi nana
Plata y plomo, dame los dos
Aye, I'm in my feelings, I might go dark
Oh, doing way too much, and it's not enough
Aye, I lost myself when I needed me most, ooh, yeah
La misma sangre cabrona que mi jefe
Herido, pero alma en pie
¿Es sueño o maldición?
Plata y plomo, nos dieron los dos
Ahí en la tierra encuentras mi sangre
Superando mis fronteras
No crucé la frontera, la frontera nos cruzó
Oh, in my feelings, I might go dark
Doing way too much, and it's not enough
I choose myself 'cause I need me most, ooh
It's too much
Ya no me siento nada
Ay, me meto en el pleito
Solamente para sentir
In overtime, living in a part-time life (para sentir)
I'm kidding, but it's no far off, no
In overtime, living in a part-time life
And I don't wanna stop for anything
Aquí, en el caos
Shadowboxing en el pleito
So as above, so below
And as within, so without
I'm trying to grow, sometimes I lose myself
English translation
I burn tire, smoke continues
White or green, give me both
And my mistakes follow me
Like my shadow, shadow boxing
As time disintegrates
Like the streets in the Gaza Strip
I don't even know my nana's house anymore.
Silver and lead, give me both
Aye, I'm in my feelings, I might go dark
Oh, doing way too much, and it's not enough
Aye, I lost myself when I needed me most, ooh, yeah
The same bastard blood as my boss
Wounded, but soul standing
Is it a dream or a curse?
Silver and lead, they gave us both
There on earth you find my blood
Overcoming my borders
I didn't cross the border, the border crossed us
Oh, in my feelings, I might go dark
Doing way too much, and it's not enough
I choose myself 'cause I need me most, ooh
It's too much
I don't feel anything anymore
Oh, I get into the fight
Just to feel
In overtime, living in a part-time life (to feel)
I'm kidding, but it's no far off, no
In overtime, living in a part-time life
And I don't wanna stop for anything
Here in the chaos
Shadowboxing in litigation
So as above, so below
And as within, so without
I'm trying to grow, sometimes I lose myself
