Should Have Known Better
Sufjan Stevens
I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies
I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy
When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
I'm light as a feather
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief
No, I'm not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I wanna believe
When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should have wrote a letter
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
Don't back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor's greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
Don't back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I'm a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me
Don't back down, nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
Illumination
I should have known better
Ich hätte es besser wissen sollen
To see what I could see
Hätte sehen sollen, was ich sehen konnte
My black shroud
Mein schwarzes Leichentuch
Holding down my feelings
Hielt meine Gefühle zurück
A pillar for my enemies
Eine Säule für meine Feinde
I should have wrote a letter
Ich hätte einen Brief schreiben sollen
And grieve what I happen to grieve
Und hätte um die traurigen Dinge trauern sollen
My black shroud
Mein schwarzes Leichentuch
I never trust my feelings
Ich vertraute noch nie meinen Gefühlen
I waited for the remedy
Ich wartete auf ein Heilmittel
When I was three, three maybe four
Als ich drei, oder vielleicht vier war
She left us at that video store
Ließ sie uns vor diesem Videoladen zurück
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, sei meine Ruhestätte, sei meine Vorstellung
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh, sei meine Ruhestätte, sei meine Vorstellung
I'm light as a feather
Ich bin so leicht wie eine Feder
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
Ich bin so hell wie die Brise aus Oregon
My black shroud
Mein schwarzes Leichentuch
Frightened by my feelings
Geängstigt von meinen Gefühlen
I only wanna be a relief
Will ich nur eine Erleichterung sein
No, I'm not a go-getter
Nein, ich bin kein Draufgänger
The demon had a spell on me
Der Dämon hat mich verflucht
My black shroud
Mein schwarzes Leichentuch
Captain of my feelings
Kapitän meiner Gefühle
The only thing I wanna believe
Das einzige, an was ich glauben will
When I was three, and free to explore
Als ich drei war, und frei zu erkunden
I saw her face on the back of the door
Sah ich ihr Gesicht auf der Rückseite einer Tür
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Sei meine Ruhestätte, sei meine Vorstellung
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
Sei meine Ruhestätte, sei meine Vorstellung
I should have known better
Ich hätte es besser wissen sollen
Nothing can be changed
Nichts kann verändert werden
The past is still the past
Die Vergangenheit ist immer noch die Vergangenheit
The bridge to nowhere
Die Brücke ins Nirgendwo
I should have wrote a letter
Ich hätte einen Brief schreiben sollen
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
Um diese leere Gefühl zu beschreiben, das ich fühle
Don't back down, concentrate on seeing
Weiche nicht zurück, konzentriere dich darauf zu sehen
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor's greeting
Die Unterbrecher in der Bar, das Grüße des Nachbarn
My brother had a daughter
Mein Bruder hatte eine Tochter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
Die Schönheit, die sie bringt ist erleuchtend
Don't back down, there is nothing left
Weiche nicht zurück, denn es gibt dort nichts mehr
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
Die Unterbrecher in der Bar, kein Grund zu leben
I'm a fool in the fetter
Ich bin ein Idiot in Fesseln
Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me
Stieg auf Aarons Bart, wo du mich erreichen kannst
Don't back down, nothing can be changed
Weiche nicht zurück, denn nichts kann geändert werden

The demon had a spell on me
O demônio me deixou uma maldição
My black shroud
Meu véu negro
Captain of my feelings
Capitão dos meus sentimentos
The only thing I wanna believe
A única coisa em que quero acreditar
When I was three, and free to explore
Quando eu tinha três anos e era livre para explorar
I saw her face on the back of the door
