Letras de Hot Soft Light - The Hold Steady

Hot Soft Light (original)

I was not involved up at the Northtown Mall
As a matter of fact I didn’t even know that that’s where it happened
I was France Ave. when they came out dancing
I was Lyndale South, I was kicking it with cousins
We were talking about going clubbin' but instead we just started drinkin'
I’ve been straight since the Cinco de Mayo
But before that I was blotto
I was blacked out
I was cracked out
I was caved in
You should’ve seen all these portals
That I’ve powered up in
Started recreational
Ended kinda medical
It came on hot and soft
And then it tightened up its tentacles
I wasn’t there
I was blind, high, I was scared
I was Lake and Columbus, I was cutting off all my hair
I was unfurling a flag of defiance aimed at my guidance guy
So this is it
This is the end of the session
And I ain’t gonna be taking any more questions
I think my attorney’s gonna second that notion
Started recreational
Ended kinda medical
And it came on hot and soft
And then it tightened up its tentacles
And the band played «Screaming for Vengeance»
And we agreed, this world is mostly manacled
It started ice cream social nice
It ended up all white and ecumenical
There are guys, there are guys, there are guys, there are guys
With the wild eyes when they ask to get you high
There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls
That’ll come to you with comfort in the night
That’s right
Started recreational
Ended kinda medical
It came on hot and soft
And then it tightened up its tentacles
And the band played «Sabbath Bloody Sabbath»
You thought it was stormy and adorable
It started in the vestibule
It ended in the hospital
There are guys, there are guys, there are guys, there are guys
With the wild eyes when they ask to get you high
There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls
That’ll come to you with comfort in the night
There are nights, there are nights, there are nights, there are nights
When it all comes on a little bit too bright
There’s a cross, there’s a cross, there’s a cross, there’s a cross
And in the center, there is a hot, soft light

(traducción)

No estuve involucrado en el Northtown Mall
De hecho, ni siquiera sabía que ahí es donde sucedió.
Yo era France Ave. cuando salieron a bailar
yo era lyndale sur, lo estaba pateando con primos
Estábamos hablando de ir a discotecas, pero en lugar de eso, empezamos a beber.
He sido heterosexual desde el Cinco de Mayo
Pero antes de eso yo estaba borracho
yo estaba desmayado
yo estaba crackeado
yo estaba hundido
Deberías haber visto todos estos portales
Que me he encendido
Comenzó recreativo
Terminó un poco médico
Llegó caliente y suave
Y luego tensó sus tentáculos
yo no estaba alli
Estaba ciego, drogado, estaba asustado
yo era lago y colón me cortaba todo el pelo
Estaba desplegando una bandera de desafío dirigida a mi guía.
Así que esto es todo
Este es el final de la sesión.
Y no voy a aceptar más preguntas
Creo que mi abogado va a secundar esa idea
Comenzó recreativo
Terminó un poco médico
Y se puso caliente y suave
Y luego tensó sus tentáculos
Y la banda tocó «Screaming for Vengeance»
Y estuvimos de acuerdo, este mundo está mayormente esposado
Comenzó helado social agradable
Acabó toda blanca y ecuménica
Hay chicos, hay chicos, hay chicos, hay chicos
Con los ojos salvajes cuando te piden que te drogues
Hay chicas, hay chicas, hay chicas, hay chicas
Eso vendrá a ti con consuelo en la noche
Así es
Comenzó recreativo
Terminó un poco médico
Llegó caliente y suave
Y luego tensó sus tentáculos
Y la banda tocó «Sabbath Bloody Sabbath»
Pensaste que era tormentoso y adorable
Comenzó en el vestíbulo
Terminó en el hospital
Hay chicos, hay chicos, hay chicos, hay chicos
Con los ojos salvajes cuando te piden que te drogues
Hay chicas, hay chicas, hay chicas, hay chicas
Eso vendrá a ti con consuelo en la noche
Hay noches, hay noches, hay noches, hay noches
Cuando todo se vuelve un poco demasiado brillante
Hay una cruz, hay una cruz, hay una cruz, hay una cruz
Y en el centro, hay una luz cálida y suave.
