I Saw Light
Dan Carey, Grian Chatten, Kae Tempest
Beginning with an ending in mind, I took a minute
Saw too much ahead of my time
Came away laughing, blushed
Carton crushed
Everything was unfastened
Rush
In the stifling air of a thin little moment
Rush
Can't keep my focus
My skin's your skin
Vivid as a memory fading by the minute
Screaming your name like I was afraid you'd be in it
You're truth to me
Clutching at straws, don't know you
Never even met you
Pause
I put my pen down and started to drift
I stopped living
Stared at the grass at the edge of the cliff
I saw women
Heart is a yellowing brick
Dead set on a wish that can never exist
A transition
Want to be is but I'm isn't
Ambition kicks me awake and says, dress
I was looking for the door
All I found was your flesh, your flesh
your blessed dismembered hands are sand
I'm stranded
I want to be thrown against the wall
By a tall cold dickhead
With a morse-code accent
That I can't look at
Without starting something I'll regret
Everything's beautiful, I digress
I saw light in the buildings at night
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
On the river, on the ledge, on the bridge
On the side of your face at the bar
It went dark, I saw light
I saw light in the buildings at night
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
On the side of your face at the bar
It went dark, I saw light
Tapped out a few laughs on the summer's grass
And in all the sky's many merry blues
I read one thousand words
Of pretty good news
And now heliotropes around your light gather
And they chatter and chatter and they chatter
Make insipid remarks about things that matter
'Till they don't anymore
'Till they don't weigh a crumb
Until the caring in you is surely done
Until dead is every one of us floating about
Between good bookie odds and two for one on stout
So live it all out, in lust of a stage
Where you were busy trying to trap the heart on the page
Having scenes arranged into your bones
And happily arranging yourself to be alone
Believing happiness to be a train that just doesn't stop for you
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
I saw light in the buildings at night
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
On the side of your face at the bar
It went dark, I saw light
I saw light in the buildings at night
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
On the side of your face at the bar
It went dark, I saw light
Beginning with an ending in mind, I took a minute
Commencer avec une fin en tête, j'ai pris une minute
Saw too much ahead of my time
J'ai vu trop loin devant mon temps
Came away laughing, blushed
Je suis parti en riant, rougissant
Carton crushed
Carton écrasé
Everything was unfastened
Tout était détaché
Rush
Précipitation
In the stifling air of a thin little moment
Dans l'air étouffant d'un mince petit moment
Rush
Précipitation
Can't keep my focus
Je ne peux pas garder mon focus
My skin's your skin
Ma peau est ta peau
Vivid as a memory fading by the minute
Vif comme un souvenir qui s'estompe minute par minute
Screaming your name like I was afraid you'd be in it
Criant ton nom comme si j'avais peur que tu y sois
You're truth to me
Tu es ma vérité
Clutching at straws, don't know you
Agrippant à des pailles, je ne te connais pas
Never even met you
Je ne t'ai même jamais rencontré
Pause
Pause
I put my pen down and started to drift
J'ai posé mon stylo et j'ai commencé à dériver
I stopped living
J'ai arrêté de vivre
Stared at the grass at the edge of the cliff
J'ai fixé l'herbe au bord de la falaise
I saw women
J'ai vu des femmes
Heart is a yellowing brick
Le cœur est une brique qui jaunit
Dead set on a wish that can never exist
Entêté sur un souhait qui ne peut jamais exister
A transition
Une transition
Want to be is but I'm isn't
Je veux être mais je ne suis pas
Ambition kicks me awake and says, dress
L'ambition me réveille et dit, habille-toi
I was looking for the door
Je cherchais la porte
All I found was your flesh, your flesh
Tout ce que j'ai trouvé, c'est ta chair, ta chair
your blessed dismembered hands are sand
tes mains bénies démembrées sont du sable
I'm stranded
Je suis échoué
I want to be thrown against the wall
Je veux être jeté contre le mur
By a tall cold dickhead
Par un grand connard froid
With a morse-code accent
Avec un accent en morse
That I can't look at
Que je ne peux pas regarder
Without starting something I'll regret
Sans commencer quelque chose que je regretterai
Everything's beautiful, I digress
Tout est beau, je m'égare
I saw light in the buildings at night
J'ai vu de la lumière dans les bâtiments la nuit
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
J'ai vu de la lumière dans les fenêtres en passant devant
On the river, on the ledge, on the bridge
Sur la rivière, sur la corniche, sur le pont
On the side of your face at the bar
Sur le côté de ton visage au bar
It went dark, I saw light
Il a fait noir, j'ai vu de la lumière

On the side of your face at the bar
Sur le côté de ton visage au bar
It went dark, I saw light
Il a fait noir, j'ai vu de la lumière
Tapped out a few laughs on the summer's grass
J'ai tapé quelques rires sur l'herbe d'été
And in all the sky's many merry blues
Et dans tous les nombreux bleus joyeux du ciel
I read one thousand words
J'ai lu mille mots
Of pretty good news
De plutôt bonnes nouvelles
And now heliotropes around your light gather
Et maintenant les héliotropes se rassemblent autour de ta lumière
And they chatter and chatter and they chatter
Et ils bavardent et bavardent et ils bavardent
Make insipid remarks about things that matter
Faisant des remarques insipides sur des choses qui comptent
'Till they don't anymore
Jusqu'à ce qu'ils ne comptent plus
'Till they don't weigh a crumb
Jusqu'à ce qu'ils ne pèsent plus un miette
Until the caring in you is surely done
Jusqu'à ce que le soin en toi soit sûrement terminé
Until dead is every one of us floating about
Jusqu'à ce que chacun de nous flottant soit mort
Between good bookie odds and two for one on stout
Entre de bonnes cotes de bookmaker et deux pour un sur la stout
So live it all out, in lust of a stage
Alors vis tout cela, dans la luxure d'une scène
Where you were busy trying to trap the heart on the page
Où tu étais occupé à essayer de piéger le cœur sur la page
Having scenes arranged into your bones
Ayant des scènes arrangées dans tes os
And happily arranging yourself to be alone
Et heureusement te préparant à être seul
Believing happiness to be a train that just doesn't stop for you
Croyant que le bonheur est un train qui ne s'arrête tout simplement pas pour toi
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Une douleur mais un ami qui ne prétend pas
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Une douleur mais un ami qui ne prétend pas
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Une douleur mais un ami qui ne prétend pas

Beginning with an ending in mind, I took a minute
Começando com um fim em mente, eu tirei um minuto
Saw too much ahead of my time
Vi muito à frente do meu tempo
Came away laughing, blushed
Saí rindo, corado
Carton crushed
Caixa amassada
Everything was unfastened
Tudo estava desabotoado
Rush
Corra
In the stifling air of a thin little moment
No ar sufocante de um pequeno momento
Rush
Corra
Can't keep my focus
Não consigo manter meu foco
My skin's your skin
Minha pele é a sua pele
Vivid as a memory fading by the minute
Vívido como uma memória desvanecendo a cada minuto
Screaming your name like I was afraid you'd be in it
Gritando seu nome como se eu tivesse medo de você estar nele
You're truth to me
Você é a verdade para mim
Clutching at straws, don't know you
Agarrando-se a palhas, não te conheço
Never even met you
Nunca nem te conheci
Pause
Pausa
I put my pen down and started to drift
Eu coloquei minha caneta e comecei a divagar
I stopped living
Parei de viver
Stared at the grass at the edge of the cliff
Olhei para a grama na beira do penhasco
I saw women
Eu vi mulheres
Heart is a yellowing brick
Coração é um tijolo amarelando
Dead set on a wish that can never exist
Decidido por um desejo que nunca pode existir
A transition
Uma transição
Want to be is but I'm isn't
Quero ser, mas não sou
Ambition kicks me awake and says, dress
A ambição me acorda e diz, vista-se
I was looking for the door
Eu estava procurando a porta
All I found was your flesh, your flesh
Tudo que encontrei foi sua carne, sua carne
your blessed dismembered hands are sand
suas abençoadas mãos desmembradas são areia
I'm stranded
Estou encalhado
I want to be thrown against the wall
Quero ser jogado contra a parede
By a tall cold dickhead
Por um idiota alto e frio
With a morse-code accent
Com um sotaque em código Morse
That I can't look at
Que eu não consigo olhar
Without starting something I'll regret
Sem começar algo que vou me arrepender
Everything's beautiful, I digress
Tudo é lindo, eu divago
I saw light in the buildings at night
Eu vi luz nos prédios à noite
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
Eu vi luz nas janelas enquanto passava por elas
On the river, on the ledge, on the bridge
No rio, na borda, na ponte
On the side of your face at the bar
No lado do seu rosto no bar
It went dark, I saw light
Ficou escuro, eu vi luz

I read one thousand words
Eu li mil palavras
Of pretty good news
De boas notícias

E agora heliotrópios ao redor da sua luz se reúnem

Make insipid remarks about things that matter
Fazem comentários insípidos sobre coisas que importam
'Till they don't anymore

'Till they don't weigh a crumb
Até que não pesem uma migalha
Until the caring in you is surely done
Até que o cuidado em você esteja certamente acabado
Until dead is every one of us floating about

Where you were busy trying to trap the heart on the page
Onde você estava ocupado tentando prender o coração na página
Having scenes arranged into your bones
Tendo cenas arranjadas em seus ossos
And happily arranging yourself to be alone
E felizmente se arranjando para ficar sozinho
Believing happiness to be a train that just doesn't stop for you
Acreditando que a felicidade é um trem que simplesmente não para por você

Credendo che la felicità sia un treno che semplicemente non si ferma per te
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Un dolore ma un amico che non finge
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Un dolore ma un amico che non finge
A pain but a friend that doesn't pretend
Un dolore ma un amico che non finge
I saw light in the buildings at night
Ho visto la luce negli edifici di notte
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
Ho visto la luce nelle finestre mentre passavo
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
Sul fiume, sul ponte, sul bordo
On the side of your face at the bar
Sul lato del tuo viso al bar
It went dark, I saw light
È diventato buio, ho visto la luce
I saw light in the buildings at night
Ho visto la luce negli edifici di notte
I saw light in the windows as I passed them by
Ho visto la luce nelle finestre mentre passavo
On the river, on the bridge, on the ledge
Sul fiume, sul ponte, sul bordo
On the side of your face at the bar
Sul lato del tuo viso al bar
It went dark, I saw light
È diventato buio, ho visto la luce
