The following is a song called Afraid. I'm trying to translate it into my language but there are some different words in web pages so I'm not sure which word is right. Could you tell me which word makes sense, please? And I need my interpretation to be checked to know they are being ranslated right.
When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place
paid(or made?) that money, fake that dummy(or bunny?), ache my tummy On the fence, all the time Paint(or paid?) junk(or young?) honey, face so sunny, ain’t that funny All my friends always lie to me I know they’re thinking…
>>"On the fence" Is it mean that "undecided about something"?
You’re too mean, I don’t like you, *** you anyway You make me wanna scream at the top of my lungs It hurts but I won’t fight you You suck anyway You make me wanna die, right when I…
>>I think this part need to have double quotation marks like "You’re too mean ~ right when I…" Am I right? Or does the first line only need them?
When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place (x3) When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might end up being me
Keep on dreaming, don’t stop breathing, fight those demons Sell your soul, not your whole self If they see you when you’re sleeping, make them leave it And I can’t even see if it’s all there anymore so…
>> "it’s all there anymore" I think this means "it's all possible anymore". But I really don't know what it means.
Being me and only me (or Being me can only mean?) Feeling scared to breathe If you leave me then I’ll be afraid of everything That makes me anxious, gives me patience, calms me down Lets me face this, let me sleep, and when I wake up Let me be
>> "I will be afraid of everything that makes me anxious, gives me patience, calms me down Lets me face this, let me sleep, and when I wake up Let me be" My interpretaion: Everything makes me anxious, gives me patience, calms me down and lets me face this. So let me sleep and let me be when I wake up.
The reason I'm confused with it is because of '-s'. "Let me face this" and "let me sleep" don't have "s" so It is not tied to "Everything". Did I get it right? It makes me confused with comma.
Thank you!
