Description
It smells of cigarettes in the stairwell and slightly warm beer in a plastic cup. Everything feels like home, but with a hint of awkwardness - when you arrive later than everyone else and are greeted not with condemnation, but with laughter and pats on the back. On the one hand, there is resentment for old reproaches, on the other - relief: new dramas have passed you by, which means you can still just clink glasses and breathe a sigh of relief.
There are no heroes in this story, only eternal roles: someone is late, someone is sarcastic, someone tries to hide behind bravado, and someone is still glad that everyone has gathered. The music sounds like an admission that we ourselves build our walls and our dramas, and then we are surprised that it is so stuffy inside them. And still, there is a place to return to. Even if it is a noisy kitchen and tired old friends.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Take your time
No, please, baby, it's the last you'll get
Just observin', you don't look so good
Is it the judge or just your own language?
And, fuck, my bad
I didn't mean to answer so late
I was busy with the campaign
I forgot about the time
But cheers, I'm late
Man, I'm glad it's just my old mates
Man, I'm glad there's not a new case
Man, I'm glad to be home
I know
I know you think you're better on your own
Smooth walker, big talker in the city
But don't forget who helped you get that throne
You tough, hot shit
You can't hide from what you molded
You can't hide from who you scolded
You can't hide from what you're sewn
But cheers, you're late
Ain't you glad it's just your old mates?
Ain't you glad there's not a new case?
Ain't you glad to be home?
And shit, my luck
There somebody tryna spike my cup
Thought you'd like it? Man, you're full of shit
Damn, I need to be alone
Cheers, you're late
Ain't you glad it's just your old mates?
Ain't you glad there's not a new case?
Ain't you glad to be home?
But cheers, you're late
Ain't you glad it's just your old mates?
Ain't you glad there's not a new case?
Ain't you glad to be home?
