Оригинальный текст песни The Weight
Slept with a constellation night light on
When I was a kid
So when I woke up,
Fearing you were gone
I'd look up and it was insignificant.
Since then I have expanded my orbit
To reaffirm my importance in the grand scheme
If I'm made up of molecules,
They all pretend I have form,
but I'm not sure
I've learned that I am matter,
I don't want to matter no more
Don't got much meat on my bones,
Not making it through the winter
But I've gotten so good
At hiding as I get thinner
Don't want to take up much space,
So I get the best hiding place
How can you tell me I'm safe
If I am seen?
I am calling you my soulmate
Because that's what you are
I'm not thrilled about it either
must be written up in Starlink
or in white dwarves.
If I was the center of gravity,
It'd fall into place naturally,
Of that I'm sure
I'm made up of molecules
they all pretend I have form,
But I'm not sure
I've learned that I am matter,
I don't want to matter no more
Don't got much meat on my bones,
Not making it through the winter
But I've gotten so good
at hiding as I get thinner
Don't want to take up much space,
so I get the best hiding place
How can you tell me I'm safe if I am seen?
In the water, I am lighter than everything
I'll take off my shirt
if you make all of the swimmers sink
Weaponize all my weight
Realize I'm not what I ate,
Or there'd be nothing
To shame anymore. (anymore)
I've seen the shape of my shadow
Shrink and expand over time
But it proves that there's still light.
Don't got much meat on my bones,
Not making it through the winter
But I've gotten so good
At hiding as i get thinner
Don't want to take up much space,
So I get the best hiding place
I'm safe
Where I will never escape
In the water, I am lighter than everything
I'll take off my shirt
if you make all of the swimmers sink
Weaponize all my weight
Realize I'm not what I ate,
Or there'd be nothing
To shame anymore. (anymore)
I've seen the shape of my shadow
Shrink and expand over time
It's tough to sink when it's shallow,
But I'll pull it off if I try
