This song has so much sadness and meaning if you interpret the lyrics correctly, which is tough sometimes because of the purposeful distortion but that adds to the value when you finally decipher them I think. I'll break them down in the next comment but my changes are as follows, some corrections and some different hypotheses:
All the pictures of your mother
All the places that you know
All the lessons of your lovers
And the things you never show
Y'know you could be mistaking me for somebody else
All the roses you can send to me can sit on my shelf
Now my chain is feeling heavy on my neck (when I ride?)
But my heart is beating steady and I know it never lies.
Dead could (dead could) start to feel and your eyes will start to flood.
If you know the kind of steel running in my royal blood.
Place it (place it) near me (me)
Wish you could do without me - you're gonna
Place it (place it) near me (me)
Wish you could do without me - you're gonna
(You could tear out my heart)
Size me up, I know you did
Good for you, you know I did.
Making waves like a kid
Run away so easily.
If the past could forgive all adults god forbid
Throwing stones like a kid
Make your way so easily
Call me brave, call me bright
Messing up it's only right
Fascinated by the sounds (up all night)
For my sake, for my right
Messing up it's only right
Fascinated by the sounds (up all night
[Refrain]
All the wild horses
All the tigers with the stripes
In the city all the voices
Bold and busy is my type
On the banks of good and evil
Raising arms like my tree
All the creatures all the people
They want a piece of me
You could be mistaking me for somebody else
If you don't forsake me well you can call me Kels
Now my mind is in the heavens and my shoes are in the mud
Leaving traces size 7 running in my royal blood
Reversed lyrics:
(Real easily)
(I know you did, care for you you know I did)
(Like a kid)
(Run away so easily)
(Down down down here, I'm down I'm down here)
