Текст песни: A Song For My Future Self + перевод

When you’re with the trees and grass

The magic always seems to last

And how you love to take your daughter there

And replace your worries with the air

It’s easier to stick with

What you’ve got and take the hit in

All the forms of prescribed medicine

Sunlight just ain’t getting in

Did you miss a right hand turn?

It’s always harder to be loved when you love suffering

Have you seen your younger pictures

With unborn brothers and dead sisters?

Even though they’re shot on black and white

Your eyes have never been so bright

I wonder if you dream

And if you do, what do you see?

Are there a thousand childhood memories?

Suppressed Jungian shadow aspect vulnerabilities

It’s not easy

Do you wake to feel the day?

Or do you wake to get paid?

You didn’t listen

You’re in a game

You could say that it has meaning

But that sentiment is fleeting

When there’s mortgages around your neck

And your wife is sleeping with her ex

Part of you doesn’t mind

'Cause there’s a bounce in her step

She wears her favourite yellow summer dress

And makeup saved for Sunday best

But the saddest thing of all

Is that it’s for another lover in another bed

Someday it will all be over

You were fearful, now you’re older

And entirely dependent

On the people you neglected

What if there’s no final answer?

The existential disaster

Could you learn to love this precious life

Before it’s too late?
