| He closed his eyes
| Cerró los ojos
|
| And was alone
| y estaba solo
|
| He held his hand and felt it grow
| Le tomó la mano y la sintió crecer.
|
| He had become
| el se habia convertido
|
| A gyroscope
| un giroscopio
|
| All wound inside and no control
| Toda herida por dentro y sin control
|
| And all the tiny tendrils
| Y todos los pequeños zarcillos
|
| How they longed for reassurance
| Cómo anhelaban tranquilidad
|
| As the little boxed-in bushes
| Como los pequeños arbustos encajonados
|
| Pay the price of perseverance
| Paga el precio de la perseverancia
|
| A wasted day
| Un día perdido
|
| Had come and gone
| había ido y venido
|
| He searched his wrist for extra time
| Buscó en su muñeca la prórroga
|
| And finding none
| y no encontrar ninguno
|
| To his remorse
| A su remordimiento
|
| He pulled the plug and left for good
| Desconectó y se fue para siempre
|
| (instrumental break)
| (pausa instrumental)
|
| He cracked a smile
| Él esbozó una sonrisa
|
| And no one laughed
| Y nadie se reía
|
| «i"m just an inside joke,"he thought
| «Solo soy una broma interna», pensó.
|
| But who was he To say his thing to anyone about this stupid selfish stuff?
| Pero, ¿quién era él para decirle lo que le pasaba a alguien sobre esta estupidez egoísta?
|
| And all the tiny tendrils
| Y todos los pequeños zarcillos
|
| How they longed for reassurance
| Cómo anhelaban tranquilidad
|
| As the little boxed-in bushes
| Como los pequeños arbustos encajonados
|
| Pay the price of perseverance
| Paga el precio de la perseverancia
|
| He closed his eyes
| Cerró los ojos
|
| And was afraid
| y tenía miedo
|
| He held his hand and felt it grow | Le tomó la mano y la sintió crecer. |
