Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I hate that this memory fills my head
– E kino ana ahau ki te whakakiia e tēnei mahara toku matenga
Now it’s part of me and there is no way to escape
– Na ko te wahi o ahau a kahore he ara ki te mawhiti
There’s no reset, there’s no rewind
– Kāore he whakatikatika, kāore he whakatikatika
It makes more sense to leave this world behind
– He mea nui ake te waiho i tēnei ao ki muri
Leave this world behind
– Waiho tēnei ao ki muri
It makes more sense to leave this world behind
– He mea nui ake te waiho i tēnei ao ki muri
You’ve been marking the day, time to go away
– Kua tohu koe i te ra, te wa ki te haere atu
Nothing left to do and nothing left to say
– Kāore he mea e toe ana hei mahi kāore he mea e toe ana hei kōrero
You know it’s hard to admit, but
– E mohio ana koe he uaua ki te whakaae, engari
These tears have stained your shirt like blood
– Kua poke ēnei roimata i tō toto rite ki te koti
Fuck’s sake – will see how much your heart aches
– Fuck’s sake – ka kite koe i te nui o te mamae o to ngakau
Lately, you’ve been staying awake
– I nga wa tata nei, kua noho mataara koe
A cycle that you can’t break
– He huringa e kore e taea e koe te wawahi
A single voice on repeat in your head is just too much to take
– Ko te reo kotahi i runga i te repeat in your head he nui rawa ki te tango
This created such a scene
– I hangaia e tēnei tētahi whakaaturanga pēnei
I saw in you a girl nothing less than a queen
– I kite ahau i roto i a koe he kotiro ehara I te mea iti iho i te kuini
Left alone without a minder and unable to read the signs
– I mahue ko ia anake kaore he kaitiaki kaore hoki e taea te panui i nga tohu
If you got only reminded of that time when you felt free
– Ki te ka koe fakamanatu anake o taua wa ka fel koe noa
Free of this pain, you couldn’t part right or wrong
– Free o tenei mamae, kihai i taea e koe te wahi tika he ranei
Everything’s the same, your memory of who you were has blood
– He rite tonu nga mea katoa, he toto to mahara ki a koe
The only thing you wanna do is leave this world
– Ko te mea anake e hiahia ana koe ki te mahi ko te waiho i tenei ao
Leave this world behind
– Waiho tēnei ao ki muri
It makes more sense to leave this world behind
– He mea nui ake te waiho i tēnei ao ki muri
Leave this world behind
– Waiho tēnei ao ki muri
It makes more sense to leave this world behind
– He mea nui ake te waiho i tēnei ao ki muri
