Lyrics
Wake up
– Vuka
Morning set in motion for me
– Ekuseni ngiqale ukusebenza
Clear cut
– Ukusika okucacile
Put on the emotion guaranteed
– Beka emotion okuqinisekisiwe
And when they drag me by my feet
– Futhi lapho bengidonsa ngezinyawo zami
Pick me up and march me to the beat
– Ngithathe bese ungihambisa ngishaye
Make me complete
– Ngenze ngigcwalise
I’m miles above the street
– Ngingamakhilomitha amaningi ngaphezu komgwaqo
Staring as I pass me by
– Ukugqolozela njengoba ngidlula
My self-deceit
– Ukuzikhohlisa kwami
And I breathe
– Futhi ngiyaphefumula
Nothing but a shadow, it seems
– Akukho lutho ngaphandle kwesithunzi, kubonakala sengathi
Caught up in routine
– Ukubambeka esimisweni
Can they see the person beneath?
– Ingabe bangambona umuntu ongaphansi?
The days go by so uniformly
– Izinsuku zihamba ngendlela efanayo
Tightly controlled and determined for me, yeah
– Ngilawulwa ngokuqinile futhi ngizimisele, yebo
Showered in fame, my fans adore me
– Ngigcwele udumo, abalandeli bami bayangithanda
Only way to fuck it up is to be boring
– Kuphela indlela fuck it up ukuba yisicefe
I don’t get the messages, they don’t come to me
– Angiyitholi imiyalezo, ayifiki kimi
Everything that I can say is spoken for me, yeah
– Konke engingakusho kukhulunywa ngami, yebo
Get up
– Vuka
Afternoon is nauseous again
– Ntambama futhi isicanucanu
Get fucked
– Thola fucked
God, I’m so pathetic
– Unkulunkulu, ngiyadabuka kakhulu
And when I rip you out my chest
– Futhi lapho ngikukhipha esifubeni sami
Won’t you realize you’re just obsessed?
– Ngeke yini uqaphele ukuthi umane nje uthambekele kakhulu?
A fraud at best
– Ukukhwabanisa okungcono kakhulu
Drain the blood from this abscess
– Ukukhipha igazi kule abscess
Watch me as I eat my heart out, dispossessed
– Ngibuke njengoba ngidla inhliziyo yami, ngiphucwe izinto
But I breathe
– Kodwa ngiyaphefumula
Something’s got me doubting, it seems
– Kukhona okungenza ngingabaze, kubonakala sengathi
Am I anything?
– Ingabe ngiyinto?
Am I even a person beneath?
– Ingabe ngingumuntu ongaphansi?
The daze of blood stains, cruel and gory
– I-daze yamabala egazi, anonya futhi anegazi
Visions of violence are overpowering, yeah
– Imibono yobudlova inamandla, yebo
Puking my guts out almost hourly
– Ukukhipha isibindi sami cishe njalo ngehora
Shaving off the numbers of this fucking body
– Ukususa izinombolo zalesi umzimba fucking
I can’t read the messages, they come so quickly
– Angikwazi ukufunda imiyalezo, ifika ngokushesha okukhulu
Please I’m begging anybody come and save me
– Ngicela ngicela noma ubani eze azongisindisa
I don’t get the messages, they don’t come to me
– Angiyitholi imiyalezo, ayifiki kimi
Everything that I can say is spoken for me, yeah
– Konke engingakusho kukhulunywa ngami, yebo
I could be a friend, or
– Ngingaba umngane, noma
I could be a foe
– Ngingaba isitha
You make the decision, and that’s all I know
– Wenza isinqumo, futhi yilokho kuphela engikwaziyo
Oh, I could be a sinner
– Oh, ngingaba isoni
I could be a saint
– Ngingaba ngcwele
Perfectly devoid of anything I ain’t
– Anginalutho nhlobo
I could be a martyr
– Ngingaba umfel ukholo
I could be a cause
– Ngingaba imbangela
I can be whatever everybody wants
– Ngingaba noma yini wonke umuntu ayifunayo
Oh, I could be a canvas
– Oh, ngingaba i-canvas
I could be a doll
– Ngingaba unodoli
I don’t think I’m even something real at all
– Angicabangi ukuthi ngiyinto engokoqobo nhlobo
I could be a woman
– Ngingaba owesifazane
I could be a man
– Ngingaba umuntu
Look into the mirror, tell me what I am
– Bheka esibukweni, ngitshele ukuthi ngiyini
Oh, I could be a difference
– Oh, ngingaba umehluko
I could be the same
– Ngingaba okufanayo
Try to give me meaning, it’s a losing game
– Zama ukunginika incazelo, kuwumdlalo olahlekile
I could go to heaven
– Ngingaya ezulwini
I could go to hell
– Ngingaya esihogweni
Does it even matter? I could never tell
– Ingabe kunendaba? Ngangingeke ngikwazi ukusho
Oh, maybe I am nothing
– Oh, mhlawumbe angilutho
Maybe I am all
– Mhlawumbe nginguye wonke
Baby, make me something ‘fore I get that call ’cause
– Baby, make me something ‘fore I get that call’ imbangela
I CAN’T HEAR THE MESSAGES, THEY JUST DON’T LET ME
– ANGIKWAZI UKUZWA IMIYALEZO, AYINGIVUMELI NJE
I CAN’T BEAR THE SOLITARY, DON’T FORGET ME
– ANGIKWAZI UKUBEKEZELELA UKUHLALA NGEDWA, UNGANGIKHOHLWA
I CAN’T READ THE MESSAGES, THEY COME SO SLOWLY
– ANGIKWAZI UKUFUNDA IMIYALEZO, IYA KANCANE KANGAKA
I DON’T KNOW A SINGLE THING AND I’M SO LONELY
– ANGAZI LUTHO FUTHI NGINESIZUNGU KANGAKA
I DON’T GET THE MESSAGES, THEY DON’T COME TO ME
– ANGIYITHOLI IMIYALEZO, AYIFIKI KIMI
EVERYTHING THAT I CAN SAY IS SPOKEN FOR ME, YEAH
– KONKE ENGINGAKUSHO KUKHULUNYWA NGAMI, YEBO
