How Not To Drown
Robert Smith, Martin Doherty, Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I'll keep them down
This is the first time, I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Told me to sing
That was the first time I knew
You can't kill the king
And those who kiss the ring
Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We'll never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
That was the first time I knew
They were out for blood
And they would have your guts
Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We'll never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You can take it now
Take it now
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
Ich schreibe ein Buch darüber, wie man bei einem Ertrinken bei Bewusstsein bleibt
And if the words float up to the surface
Und wenn die Worte an die Oberfläche treiben
I'll keep them down
Ich halte sie unten
This is the first time, I know
Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich weiß
I don't want the crown
Ich will die Krone nicht
You can take it now
Du kannst sie jetzt nehmen
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Du hast mir die Welt versprochen und sie mir an einem Faden hängend gebracht
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Steckte es in meinen Mund, in meinen Hals
Told me to sing
Sagte mir, ich solle singen
That was the first time I knew
Das war das erste Mal, dass ich wusste
You can't kill the king
Du kannst den König nicht töten
And those who kiss the ring
Und diejenigen, die den Ring küssen
Tell me how
Sag mir wie
It's better when the sun goes down
Es ist besser, wenn die Sonne untergeht
We'll never escape this town
Wir werden diese Stadt nie verlassen
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Ich hatte keine Angst, als er mich erwischte
Look what it taught me
Schau, was es mich gelehrt hat
Tell me how
Sag mir wie
It's better if I make no sound
Es ist besser, wenn ich keinen Ton mache
I will never escape these doubts
Ich werde diese Zweifel nie loswerden
I wasn't dead when they found me
Ich war nicht tot, als sie mich fanden
Watch as they pull me down
Schau zu, wie sie mich runterziehen
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
Ich schreibe ein Kapitel darüber, was zu tun ist, nachdem sie dich ausgegraben haben
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
Was zu tun ist, nachdem du angefangen hast, das zu hassen, was du früher geliebt hast
That was the first time I knew
Das war das erste Mal, dass ich wusste
They were out for blood
Sie waren auf Blut aus
And they would have your guts
Und sie würden deine Eingeweide haben
Tell me how
Sag mir wie
It's better when the sun goes down
Es ist besser, wenn die Sonne untergeht
We'll never escape this town
Wir werden diese Stadt nie verlassen
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Ich hatte keine Angst, als er mich erwischte
Look what it taught me
Schau, was es mich gelehrt hat
Tell me how
Sag mir wie
It's better if I make no sound
Es ist besser, wenn ich keinen Ton mache
I will never escape these doubts
Ich werde diese Zweifel nie loswerden
I wasn't dead when they found me
Ich war nicht tot, als sie mich fanden
Watch as they pull me down
Schau zu, wie sie mich runterziehen
Watch as they pull me down
Schau zu, wie sie mich runterziehen
Watch as they pull me down
Schau zu, wie sie mich runterziehen
Pulling me down
Ziehen mich runter
Dead when they found me
Tot, als sie mich fanden
Watch as they pull me down
Schau zu, wie sie mich runterziehen
Watch as they pull me down
Schau zu, wie sie mich runterziehen
Watch as they pull me down
Schau zu, wie sie mich runterziehen
Pulling me down
Ziehen mich runter
Dead when they found me
Tot, als sie mich fanden
Watch as they pull me down
Schau zu, wie sie mich runterziehen

I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
Estou escrevendo um livro sobre como permanecer consciente quando você se afoga
And if the words float up to the surface
E se as palavras flutuarem até a superfície
I'll keep them down
Eu as manterei embaixo
This is the first time, I know
Esta é a primeira vez, eu sei
I don't want the crown
Eu não quero a coroa
You can take it now
Você pode pegá-la agora
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Você prometeu o mundo e me trouxe pendurado em uma corda
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Colocou na minha boca, na minha garganta
Told me to sing
Me disse para cantar
That was the first time I knew
Essa foi a primeira vez que eu soube
You can't kill the king
Você não pode matar o rei
And those who kiss the ring
E aqueles que beijam o anel
Tell me how
Diga-me como
It's better when the sun goes down
É melhor quando o sol se põe
We'll never escape this town
Nunca escaparemos desta cidade
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Eu não estava com medo quando ele me pegou
Look what it taught me
Veja o que me ensinou
Tell me how
Diga-me como
It's better if I make no sound
É melhor se eu não fizer nenhum som
I will never escape these doubts
Eu nunca vou escapar dessas dúvidas
I wasn't dead when they found me
Eu não estava morto quando me encontraram
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
Estou escrevendo um capítulo sobre o que fazer depois que eles te desenterram
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
Sobre o que fazer depois que você passou a odiar o que costumava amar
That was the first time I knew
Essa foi a primeira vez que eu soube
They were out for blood
Eles estavam atrás de sangue
And they would have your guts
E eles teriam suas entranhas
Tell me how
Diga-me como
It's better when the sun goes down
É melhor quando o sol se põe
We'll never escape this town
Nunca escaparemos desta cidade
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Eu não estava com medo quando ele me pegou
Look what it taught me
Veja o que me ensinou
Tell me how
Diga-me como
It's better if I make no sound

Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Pulling me down
Puxando-me para baixo
Dead when they found me
Morto quando me encontraram
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo
Watch as they pull me down
Assista enquanto eles me puxam para baixo

I don't want the crown
No quiero la corona
You can take it now
Puedes tomarla ahora
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Prometiste el mundo y me lo trajiste colgando de un hilo
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Lo metiste en mi boca, en mi garganta
Told me to sing
Me dijiste que cantara
That was the first time I knew
Esa fue la primera vez que supe
You can't kill the king

They were out for blood
Estaban buscando sangre

Y tendrían tus entrañas

You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Tu as promis le monde et tu me l'as apporté suspendu à une ficelle
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Tu l'as mis dans ma bouche, dans ma gorge
Told me to sing
Tu m'as dit de chanter
That was the first time I knew

They were out for blood
Ils étaient assoiffés de sang
And they would have your guts
Et ils auraient tes tripes
Tell me how

You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Hai promesso il mondo e me l'hai portato appeso a un filo
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Me l'hai messo in bocca, nella gola
Told me to sing
Mi hai detto di cantare

On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
Su cosa fare dopo che hai iniziato a odiare quello che amavi
That was the first time I knew
Quella era la prima volta che sapevo
They were out for blood
Erano fuori per il sangue
And they would have your guts
E avrebbero le tue viscere
