Lirik Lagu Giant – The The

The sun is high and I’m surrounded by sand

For as far as my eyes can see

I’m strapped into a rocking chair

With a blanket all over my knees

 

I am a stranger to myself

And nobody knows I’m here

When I looked into my face

It wasn’t myself I’d seen

But who I’ve tried to be

I’m thinking of things I’d hoped to forget

I’m choking to death in a sun that never sets

I clogged up my mind with perpetual greed

And turned all of my friends into enemies

And now the past has returned to haunt me

 

I’m scared of God and scared of Hell

And I’m caving in upon myself

I’m scared of God and scared of Hell

And I’m caving in upon myself

 

How can anyone know me

When I don’t even know myself?

How can anyone know me

When I don’t even know myself?

How can anyone know me

When I don’t even know myself?

How can anyone know me

When I don’t even know myself?

Terjemahan Lirik Lagu Giant dari The The

Matahari tinggi dan aku dikelilingi pasir

Sejauh mata memandang

Aku diikat di kursi goyang

Dengan selimut menutupi lututku

 

Aku orang asing bagi diri aku sendiri

Dan tidak ada yang tahu aku di sini

Saat aku menatap wajahku

Bukan diriku yang pernah kulihat

Tapi siapa yang aku coba menjadi

Aku sedang memikirkan hal-hal yang aku harap bisa aku lupakan

Aku tersedak sampai mati di bawah sinar matahari yang tidak pernah terbenam

Aku menyumbat pikiranku dengan keserakahan abadi

Dan mengubah semua temanku menjadi musuh

Dan kini masa lalu telah kembali menghantuiku

 

Aku takut Tuhan dan takut Neraka

Dan aku mengalah pada diriku sendiri

Aku takut Tuhan dan takut Neraka

Dan aku mengalah pada diriku sendiri

 

Bagaimana bisa ada yang mengenal aku?

Ketika aku bahkan tidak mengenal diriku sendiri?

Bagaimana bisa ada yang mengenal aku?

Ketika aku bahkan tidak mengenal diriku sendiri?

Bagaimana bisa ada yang mengenal aku?

Ketika aku bahkan tidak mengenal diriku sendiri?

Bagaimana bisa ada yang mengenal aku?

Saat aku bahkan tidak mengenal diriku sendiri?
