Lost in Translation
Aesop Rock

[Verse 1]
Echoes in my mind, a cascade of blurs,
Chasing shadows of thoughts that are lost in slurs.
Fumbling through phrases like a braille in the dark,
Wrestling meanings until they finally spark.

[Chorus]
We're lost in translation,
Finding heat in the cold relation.
Each word a mosaic, a broken creation,
Yet still we try to build through the complication.

[Verse 2]
Benches hold stories, whispers invade,
Layered in silence, the truth is delayed.
Letters thrown petals, a garden of sound,
Yet the roots intertwine, tangled underground.

[Chorus]
We're lost in translation,
Finding heat in the cold relation.
Each word a mosaic, a broken creation,
Yet still we try to build through the complication.

[Bridge]
Fragments of clarity, fading away,
Colorful scripts lost in the gray.
I ink my emotions and watch them disperse,
With every connection, I refill the verse.

[Verse 3]
There's weight in the voice that’s not carried through,
Each syllable lingers, a gaze into view.
We speak in layers, unearth the expanse,
In the space between worlds, we dare to dance.

[Chorus]
We're lost in translation,
Finding heat in the cold relation.
Each word a mosaic, a broken creation,
Yet still we try to build through the complication.

[Outro]
So hear this next step, the untraced path,
As we navigate meaning through a welcoming wrath.
Painting the silence with colors untold,
In this language of hearts, forever we hold.
