برش

[قسمت ۱]؛

رو یه لبه م

زمین صدا می زنتم

آروم در گوشم میگه بپرم

بالا سرم آسمون

زیر پاهام یه ساختمون

سه طبقه ست

دو به شک

تو یه برزخ

بین خوب و بد

بین خواب و بیداری

بین توهم و واقعیت

بین درست و غلط

با دنیا غریبه م

نمی دونم قضیه چیه

قدرت وایسادن یا جرات پریدن؟

ها؟

واسه من زندگی یه چرخه ست

یا باهاش می چرخی یا خودتو جدا می کنی ازش

تو تش میشی من

که فاصله ت با مرگت میشه یه فشار رو پنجه ت

می پرم

می رسم به طبقه سوم که یه خونه ست که توش یه خونواده وقت می گذرونن

بابای خونه روی مبل

با یه لیوان چایی جلوش

با یه زیرپوش آبی بدرنگ تنش

از زیر قاب عینکش روزنامه عصرو می خونه

جلوش تو تلویزیون یه اتوکشیده احمق دروغ می بافه واسه مردم بدبخت

مامان خونه کجاست؟

اونور فکرش مشغوله بد

اینو من از حرکت بی صدای لباش می فهمم

توی زندگیش فقط بوده نگران بچه ش

بچه ش اونور تو یه اتاق

پشت یه میز

با یه هدفون تو گوش

از آزادی می نویسه واسه تغییر مسیر مردمی که ژنتیکی دیکتاتورن

همه دنبال جنجالن

اون دنبال یه جرقه ست

دنبال کشف راز زیر بالهای یه پرنده ست

اونا منو یه لحظه دیدن

هل شدن سریع دویدن به سمتم

من رد شدم

اونا به من دیر رسیدن

به من دیر رسیدن

؛[همخوان]؛

رد شدم رفتم

ازونایی که پی جنجالن

از این زندگی سقوط کردن

سقوط کردی

سقوط کردم

سقوط کرد

؛[قسمت ۲]؛

منو جاذبه می کشید پایین

یا شاید دافعه هل می داد

نمی دونم

هر چی که بود سرعتم بیشتر شد رسیدم به یه اتاق

پر دود

پر سکوت

یه جوون حل شده لای صدا

لای حروف

تحت نظر

تحت شنود

ولی محکم و مغرور

رفیقاش اونو ترک کردن

با دشمناشم نه دلیلی واسه صلح داره

نه چیزی واسه جنگ کردن

من تو هوا معلق بودم یه هو دید منو دوید به سمتم

از حال و روزش بیشتر نمی گم

کلاً بعضیا قرار نیست بفهمن

پس چه فایده گفتن؟

بعضی وقتا باید رد شد و رفت

مثل من

؛[همخوان]؛

رد شدم رفتم

ازونایی که پی جنجالن

از این زندگی سقوط کردن

سقوط کردی

سقوط کردم

سقوط کرد

؛[قسمت ۳]؛

طبقه اول یه دیوونه ست

نا امیدی حاکم خونه ست

جلو آینه وایساده و با خودش حرف می زنه

چی میگه نمی دونم

فقط تند تند پلک می زنه و انگار می گه حالش به هم می خوره از این زندگی چرت

در خونه نیمه بازه الآن پا شده و داره می ره سمتش

حیف

تو فکر سقوطه

تو فکر انتقامه

از کی؟

از تو

از خودش

از من

از همه آدمای این شهر که همو نمی فهمن

جلوشو نمی گیرن چون این یه جنجال جدیده

همین الآن کلیشون این پایین وایسادن از من فیلم می گیرن

منتظرن ببینن که من چه جوری و کی می میرم

؛[همخوان]؛

رد شدم رفتم

ازونایی که پی جنجالن

از این زندگی سقوط کردن

سقوط کردی

سقوط کردم

سقوط کرد

Slice

[verse 1]

I'm on the verge/edge

The earth calls me

Quietly, in my ears, tells me to jump

Above my head, the sky

Under my feet a building

It's 3 stories [in height]

"Two in doubts" (doubting my decision)

In a limbo

Between good and bad

Between slumber and wakefulness

Between illusion1 and reality

Between correct and incorrect

I'm a stranger2 to the world

I don't know what's the deal

The power of standing or the courage of jumping?

Hah?

For me, the life is a loop/cycle

You either "cycle with it" (hang with it) or you detach yourself from it

At the most/last you'll be me

Who will have the distance of a push on his toes to his death

I jump

I reach the third floor, it's the resident where a family hang around

The father of the family on the couch

With a cup of tea in front of him

With an ugly blue-colored tanks

From the frames of his glasses, reads the afternoon newspapers

In front of him in the TV, an retarded "ironed" (a suit) makes up lies for the poor people

Where is the mother of the house?

Over there, her thoughts are badly engaged and occupied

I find this out from the silent movements of her lips

In her lifetime, she was worried only for her child

Her child back there in a room

Behind a desk

With a pair of headphones on ears

Writes from freedom for changing the course/ways of a group of people who are dictators genetically

Everybody is looking for controversy3

He is looking for a spark (he/she are the same in Persian)

In pursuit of discovering the secret under the wings of a bird

They saw me momentarily

They became upset, they rushed toward me

I passed by

They reached me, but late (didn't reach me)

[They] reached me late

[They] reached me. Late

[Chorus]

I passed by and went away

From those who are looking for controversy

They fell from this life

You fell

I fell

He/she/it fell

[verse 2]

The gravity kept pulling me down

Or maybe the "expulsion" (of the sky) kept pushing4

I don't know

Whatever it was, my speed kept increasing, I reached a room

Filled with smoke

Filled with silence

A youngster, solved amidst the sounds

Between the characters/alphabet signs

Under surveillance

Object of eavesdrop

But strong and prideful

His friends have left him

And in respect to his enemies, he has no reason to make peace

nor a reason to fight

I was suspended in the air, he suddenly saw me and rushed towards me

I don't say more about his situation and life

It seems some don't intend to understand (they are acting stupid)5

So what's the telling useful for? (what's the point)

Sometimes one should just pass by and leave/go away

Just like me

[Chorus]

who passed by and went away

From those who are looking for controversy

They fell from this life

You fell

I fell

He/she/it fell

[verse 3]

The first floor, there's a lunatic

Hopelessness/despair is the ruler/dominant/governor of the house ("khune" can also mean "country" in Persian)

In front of the mirror, he is standing and is talking to himself

What he says, that I don't know

He just blinks rapidly and it seems he is saying he is "sick of this stupid life"6

The door of the house is half open, now he is standing and is going towards it

What a waste

He is thinking of a fall

He is thinking of a vengeance

From who?

From you

From himself

From me

From all the people of this city/country who don't understand each other

They don't stop him because this is a new kind of controversy

Right now so many of them are standing down here, they are shooting videos of me

They are waiting to see how and when I die

[Chorus]

who passed by and went away

From those who are looking for controversy

They fell from this life

You fell

I fell

He/she/it fell

1. His point of view on illusions are described in "Tekrar" and the track after it. Basically, a tool for education if taken seriously. However pointless...
2. The same idea is explained in "Gosht" single track.
3. Based on the chorus it's safe to say he is falling (or being pushed by the sky or "God" as it is often named "Sky"/"Asemun" in old Persian texts) through time. This floor is his family and childhood and the chorus gives the hint that he is the one running from controversy just like the kid so they might as well be the same. As mentioned in the last verse. This is further reinforced when he reaches the first floor.
4. Later explained in the track "Eshtebah" (the mistake, jumping or rapping, the good mistake).
5. With the theory of going through his life events by the push of fate, this floor may represent his life before his escape from Iran and the problems Bahram had with the government.
6. In the previous track, "Sooz", Bahram is saying he is "sick of this stupid life" so many times as a part of chorus and he was "stepping towards the helix of the stairs, in search for a fall, a vengeance..."
