| He closed his eyes
| Chiuse gli occhi
|
| And was alone
| Ed era solo
|
| He held his hand and felt it grow
| Gli tenne la mano e la sentì crescere
|
| He had become
| Era diventato
|
| A gyroscope
| Un giroscopio
|
| All wound inside and no control
| Tutto avvolto dentro e nessun controllo
|
| And all the tiny tendrils
| E tutti i minuscoli viticci
|
| How they longed for reassurance
| Quanto desideravano rassicurazioni
|
| As the little boxed-in bushes
| Come i piccoli cespugli inscatolati
|
| Pay the price of perseverance
| Paga il prezzo della perseveranza
|
| A wasted day
| Una giornata sprecata
|
| Had come and gone
| Era venuto e se n'era andato
|
| He searched his wrist for extra time
| Ha cercato il suo polso per i tempi supplementari
|
| And finding none
| E non trovarne
|
| To his remorse
| Al suo rimorso
|
| He pulled the plug and left for good
| Staccò la spina e se ne andò per sempre
|
| (instrumental break)
| (pausa strumentale)
|
| He cracked a smile
| Fece un sorriso
|
| And no one laughed
| E nessuno ha riso
|
| «i"m just an inside joke,"he thought
| «Sono solo uno scherzo interno», pensò
|
| But who was he To say his thing to anyone about this stupid selfish stuff?
| Ma chi era lui per dire la sua cosa a qualcuno su queste stupide cose egoistiche?
|
| And all the tiny tendrils
| E tutti i minuscoli viticci
|
| How they longed for reassurance
| Quanto desideravano rassicurazioni
|
| As the little boxed-in bushes
| Come i piccoli cespugli inscatolati
|
| Pay the price of perseverance
| Paga il prezzo della perseveranza
|
| He closed his eyes
| Chiuse gli occhi
|
| And was afraid
| E aveva paura
|
| He held his hand and felt it grow | Gli tenne la mano e la sentì crescere |
