3.3. Migraine

"Migraine" è una canzone dei Twenty Øne Piløts appartenente all'album Vessel, rilasciato nel 2013, di genere alternative rap.

Testo originale:

Am I the only one I know,
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone.

I-I-I I've got a migraine
And my pain will range from up, down, and sideways,
Thank God it's Friday
'Cause Fridays will always be better than Sundays
'Cause Sundays are my suicide days,
I don't know why they always seem so dismal,
Thunderstorms, clouds, snow, and a slight drizzle,
Whether it's the weather or the letters by my bed,
Sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head,
Let it be said what the headache represents,
It's me defending in suspense,
It's me suspended in a defenseless test
Being tested by a ruthless examiner
That's represented best by my depressing thoughts,
I do not have writer's block,
My writer just hates the clock,
It will not let me sleep, I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead,
And sometimes death seems better than the migraine in my head.

Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone,
But I know we've made it this far, kid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I am not as fine as I seem, pardon
Me for yelling, I'm telling you green gardens
Are not what's growing in my psyche, it's a different me,
A difficult beast feasting on burnt-down trees
Freeze frame please, let me paint a mental picture portrait,
Something you won't forget, it's all about my forehead,
And how it is a door that holds back contents,
That make Pandora's Box's contents look non-violent,
Behind my eyelids are islands of violence,
My mind's ship-wrecked,
This is the only land my mind could find,
I did not know it was such a violent island,
Full of tidal waves, suicidal crazed lions,
They're trying to eat me, blood running down their chin,
And I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win,
I begin to assemble what weapons I can find,
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind.

Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone,
But I know we've made it this far, kid.
Ah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I will say that we should take a day to break away
From all the pain our brain has made,
The game is not played alone.
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it,
And keep it frozen and know that
Life has a hopeful undertone.

And I will say that we should take a day to break away
From all the pain our brain has made,
The game is not played alone.
And I will say that we should take a moment and hold it,
And keep it frozen and know that
Life has a hopeful undertone.

Am I the only one I know
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone,
But I know we've made it this far, kid.

We've made it this far
We've made it this f-

Testo tradotto:

Sono il solo che conosco,
A ingaggiare guerre dietro il mio viso e sopra la mia gola?
Le ombre grideranno che sono solo.

Ho l'emicrania,
E il mio dolore si estenderà dall'alto, al basso, e di lato,
Grazie a Dio è venerdì,
Perché i venerdì saranno sempre meglio delle domeniche,
Perché le domeniche sono i miei giorni del suicidio,
Non so perché sembrano sempre così tetre,
Tempeste, nuvole, neve e una pioggerella leggera,
Sarà il clima o le lettere accanto al mio letto,
A volte la morte sembra meglio dell'emicrania nella mia testa,
Che si dica cosa rappresenta il mal di testa,
Sono io che mi difendo in ansia,
Sono io sospeso in una prova senza difese
Vengo giudicato da un ispettore senza pietà
Che viene rappresentato al meglio dai miei pensieri deprimenti,
Non ho il blocco dello scrittore,
Il mio scrittore odia soltanto l'orologio,
Non mi fa dormire, dormirò quando sarò morto,
E a volte la morte sembra meglio dell'emicrania nella mia testa.
