another heavy one, i will make a YouTube video to tell you more about it...
but, in a nutshell, it was 'inspired' by depression and, later, the loss of a family member. if life is a gift, then sometimes it gets too heavy to lift up. but others don't want you to go... maybe someone can help you carry it?
kolejna dość ciężka piosenka... na pewno zrobię o niej filmik na YouTube, żeby powiedzieć więcej. w skrócie jednak, do napisania jej 'zainspirowała' mnie depresja bliskiej osoby, a później strata członka rodziny. jeśli życie jest darem, to czasami chyba staje się darem zbyt ciężkim do uniesienia. ale inni nie chcą, żebyś odszedł... może ktoś pomoże ten dar nieść?

lyrics:
The gift that we were given –
We sometimes don’t know
what to do with it,
Or how to lift it, yes...
How to handle it,
How to carry it,
How to cope with it
How to cope with it..
But…
Someone’s gonna miss you...
Your dark hair – if you go,
Your blue eyes – if you go,
Your small nose – if you go,
Your warm hands – if you go,
Warm hands –
if you go.
We cannot really grasp it –
We can keep unwrapping it,
Or keep pushing it away...
Keep rejecting it, yeah,
Or keep discovering,
But I know that sometimes
stillness is much comfier
is much comfier….
But…
Someone’s gonna miss you...
Your dark hair – if you go,
Your blue eyes – if you go,
Your small nose – if you go,
Your warm hands – if you go,
Your warm hands –
if you go.
Sometimes I can feel it,
But right after it’s over
I cannot understand the feeling of it.
I never walk through the door
Behind which you stand.
Yet I know you’re there.
But never remember it
When I’m back from there… and breathe.
And I know that this parcel
Cannot make you happy.
Maybe it’s too heavy for you,
Like that gift was a present
For the buyer to...
To have fun.
Let me hold it and have a look.
‘cause…
Someone’s gonna miss you darling….
Your dark hair, if you go,
Your blue eyes, if you go
Tender loving smile, too...
Your warm hands...
