Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
It’s four in the morning and I’m layin’ with my head against the toilet seat
– Sekusele ezine ekuseni futhi ngilele ikhanda lami esihlalweni sendlu yangasese
For several days now I’ve been livin’ here, too tired to sleep, too sick to eat
– Sekuphele izinsuku eziningana ngihlala lapha, ngikhathele kakhulu ukuba ngilale, ngigula kakhulu ukuba ngingadla
I feel like a monster and it doesn’t help that you will treat me like I’ve got the venom in my teeth
– Ngizizwa njengesilo futhi akusizi ukuthi uzongiphatha sengathi nginobuthi emazinyweni ami
‘Cause I’m the spider in your bathroom
– Ngoba ngiyisicabucabu endlini yakho yokugezela
I’m the shadow on the tile
– Ngingumfana isithunzi on the tile
I came for shelter from the cold
– Ngafika ngizofuna indawo yokukhosela emakhazeni
And I’d thought I’d stay a while
– Futhi ngangicabanga ukuthi ngizohlala isikhashana
I’m only small, I’m only weak
– Ngimncane kuphela, ngibuthakathaka kuphela
And you jump at the sight of me
– Futhi ugxumela emehlweni ami
You’ll kill me when I least expect it
– Uzongibulala uma ngingakulindele
God, how could I even think of daring to exist?
– Unkulunkulu, ngingacabanga kanjani ngisho nangesibindi sokuba khona?
Looking just like this, I’m hideous
– Uma ngibukeka kanjena, ngiyesabeka
I’m nothing but legs, they used to say
– Angilutho ngaphandle kwemilenze, babevame ukusho
I’m nothing but skin and bones these days
– Angilutho ngaphandle kwesikhumba namathambo kulezi zinsuku
You dangle me high over the drain and tell me I’m lucky you don’t drop me there and
– Ungilengisa phezulu phezu komsele ungitshele ukuthi nginenhlanhla awungilahli lapho futhi
Let me wash away
– Ake ngigeze
Or put me on display
– Noma ngibeke embukisweni
By trapping me forever between a glass and a dinner plate
– Ngokungibambaeverade phakathi kwengilazi nepuleti lesidlo sakusihlwa
‘Cause I’m the spider in your kitchen weaving webs through every year
– Ngoba ngiyisicabucabu ekhishini lakho ukweluka webs unyaka ngamunye
And I worked real hard on the last one but the last one got me here
– Futhi ngasebenza kanzima kakhulu kulowo wokugcina kodwa owokugcina wangithola lapha
I’m minding my own business but my presence makes you curse
– Ngikhathazekile ngebhizinisi lami kodwa ukuba khona kwami kukwenza uqalekise
I should be getting better but I’m only getting worse
– Kufanele ngibe ngcono kodwa ngiba mubi kakhulu
And, God, how dare I even think of choosing here to die?
– Futhi, Nkulunkulu, ngingacabanga kanjani ngisho nokukhetha ukufa lapha?
‘Cause then I’m just a problem that you have to take outside
– Ngoba-ke ngiyinkinga nje okumelwe uyithathe ngaphandle
And I know you hate the sight of me, I haunt you when you’re fast asleep
– Futhi ngiyazi ukuthi uyangizonda ukubona kwami, ngiyakuhlupha uma ulele ngokushesha
I’ve got eight legs, a million eyes, if only I had eight more lives
– Nginemilenze eyisishiyagalombili, amehlo ayisigidi, ukube nje nganginezinye izimpilo eziyisishiyagalombili
‘Cause I’m a spider on the ceiling and you’re nothing but a guy
– Ngoba ngiyisicabucabu ophahleni futhi awulutho ngaphandle komfana
You don’t like it when I cry, you would break me if you tried
– Awuthandi lapho ngikhala, ubungangiphula uma uzama
And you will because I dared to be alive
– Futhi uyokwenza ngoba nganginesibindi sokuba ophilayo
