Lyrics and translation
Original
The first plunge, I held my head in. Did I say too much?
Long for this bubble.
Keep in touch, my inner child's been through some stuff. Full life lived over the years.
I've stayed undercover, cleansed and pleaded. Violent young lover.
Here's to no more secrets, really don't want them.
Nothing heavy, only water. The shadows bare little hope, more glory.
Please tell my whole self, don't hide any longer. Suppressed to pretend.
I will protect who I am.
Two gems and finish all the applause.
It seemed so simple till the hush hush started. I wanted out with the games, the headaches.
All the effort wore me out. All the effort wore me out.
I've stayed undercover, cleansed and pleaded.
Violent young lover.
Here's to no more secrets, really don't want them.
Nothing heavy, only water.
The shadows bare little hope, more glory. Please tell my whole self, don't hide any longer.
Suppressed to pretend.
I will protect who I am.
If you pour me water, I will fade away.
I've been underwater, I know just where I came from.
Straight from the gutter, grass is never greener on the other side of dreams. Of dreams and memories.
Now why you dey look me like person wey know the road? I dey learn as I dey go, go, go, go.
Now why you dey look me like person wey know the road?
I dey learn as I dey go, go, go, go.
