There is no benefit if it's not resourceful
Fortify, the observers, they get something from it
It become routine, been there and done it

Gli ho detto che avrebbero visto questo
For some reason they didn't believe it, so here we are
Per qualche motivo non ci hanno creduto, quindi eccoci qui
(Ooh-ah-ah)
(Ooh-ah-ah)
I told them from the start
Gli ho detto fin dall'inizio
(Ooh-ah-ah)
(Ooh-ah-ah)
Right from the very start
Proprio dall'inizio
(Ooh-ah-ah)
(Ooh-ah-ah)
I told them, I told them, ah-ah
Gli ho detto, gli ho detto, ah-ah
I told them they were gonna see this
Gli ho detto che avrebbero visto questo
For some reason they didn't believe it, so here we are
Per qualche motivo non ci hanno creduto, quindi eccoci qui
Which one of you is the other?
Quale di voi è l'altro?
I wanna join the attempt
Voglio unirmi al tentativo
We shine light that travels and waves that are unbelievable
Noi brilliamo luce che viaggia e onde che sono incredibili
Distance and days
Distanza e giorni
Radio, micro, infrared and ultraviolet
Radio, micro, infrarossi e ultravioletti
Picture so beautiful, I had to film the pilot
Immagine così bella, ho dovuto filmare il pilota
Coined a new brand of philosophy
Ho coniato una nuova filosofia di marca
That form images in your mind, quite different from photography
Che forma immagini nella tua mente, molto diverse dalla fotografia
Anointed few, a point of view of the thinkers
Un unguento per pochi, un punto di vista dei pensatori
No pitch, that's a glitch full of hook lines, and sinkers
Nessun lancio, è un glitch pieno di ganci, linee e affondatori
The way the wise look at light, the manner of the thoughtful
Il modo in cui i saggi guardano la luce, il modo dei pensatori
There is no benefit if it's not resourceful
Non c'è beneficio se non è utile
Fortify, the observers, they get something from it
Rafforza, gli osservatori, ne traggono qualcosa
It become routine, been there and done it
Diventa routine, ci sono stato e l'ho fatto
I'm in a place where perception is developed
Sono in un posto dove la percezione si sviluppa
If you can't walk on these shoes, then your feet would swell up
Se non puoi camminare con queste scarpe, allora i tuoi piedi si gonfieranno
A medium by which thoughts are made clear
Un mezzo attraverso il quale i pensieri sono resi chiari
Beneath the surface, but only hurting the inner ear
Sotto la superficie, ma solo ferendo l'orecchio interno
