Testo Mr Nichols - Coldcut feat. Saul Williams
Testo della canzone Mr Nichols (Coldcut feat. Saul Williams), tratta dall'album Sound Mirrors
Please Mr. Nichols
Come back inside the window
I can't promise you anything
But I trust there's far greater reason to live
I know you've become disheartened and disillusioned
By the current state of affairs
Your stocks have fallen
Your investments have failed you
The man from whom you took orders
Has been ordered to jail by his and your subordinates
You question what is this world coming to
What is the profit margin
When you're forced to pander to the marginalized
Where is the glory you dreamt of as a child
Dressed as a cowboy
Your play gun pointed at real targets
Your mother holding her tongue
As your father consoles her with the words
"It's just boy stuff"
Well, you joined his fraternity
You grew into his old suit
You acquired his beliefs
You embodied his dreams
And with them his oversights
How long did you think it would last
It's just a matter of time
The world is far from over
Look, your mother outlives your father
Your sister outlives your brother
And if you jump from this window today
She'll also outlive you
Look at her
Sitting in her Midwestern home
Tuned into Oprah once again
Today she learns to meditate on a secondhand couch
Meanwhile you stand outside this window
Twelve stories above the ground
One story remaining untold
You contemplate the setting sun
Unaware of your disorientation
Disorient
Turned away from the east
The shifting current seems to conspire against you
Mr. Nichols
You fail to see that you've always stood outside of this window
Perched on the threshold of oblivion
Countless man-made stories above the truth
For so long you've stood facing the setting sun
Mistaking the complementary unified duality of nature
As being right or wrong
Good or evil
God or devil
Mr. Nichols
Instead of stepping from this ledge
Into the downfall of your uprise
Why not just turn around
Lessen the intensity of your western glare
And face the rising sun
Note the energy swirling from its center
How it illumines us all
And only the birds fly first class
There is your inheritance
The warmth of a kiss
Invest your tongue into the mouth of mystery
Allow her breath to seep into your lungs
Surrender to her touch and guidance
There's no other way
Your dreams of dominance
Will only help you forsake yourself
While your family continues its search for understanding
And your daughters outlive your sons
