Subdivisions

Lyrics Translation

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In-between the bright lights
And the far, unlit unknown

Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass-production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths, we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
Espalhando-se nas bordas da cidade
In geometric order
Em ordem geométrica
An insulated border
Uma fronteira isolada
In-between the bright lights
Entre as luzes brilhantes
And the far, unlit unknown
E o longínquo, desconhecido não iluminado
Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Crescendo, tudo parece tão unilateral
Opinions all provided
Opiniões todas fornecidas
The future pre-decided
O futuro pré-decidido
Detached and subdivided
Destacado e subdividido
In the mass-production zone
Na zona de produção em massa
Nowhere is the dreamer
Em nenhum lugar o sonhador
Or the misfit so alone
Ou o desajustado está tão sozinho
Subdivisions
Subdivisões
In the high school halls
Nos corredores do ensino médio
In the shopping malls
Nos shopping centers
Conform or be cast out
Conforme-se ou seja excluído
Subdivisions
Subdivisões
In the basement bars
Nos bares do porão
In the backs of cars
No fundo dos carros
Be cool or be cast out
Seja legal ou seja excluído
Any escape might help to smooth
Qualquer fuga pode ajudar a suavizar
The unattractive truth
A verdade pouco atraente
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
Mas os subúrbios não têm encantos para acalmar
The restless dreams of youth
Os sonhos inquietos da juventude
Drawn like moths, we drift into the city
Atraídos como mariposas, derivamos para a cidade
The timeless old attraction
A velha atração atemporal
Cruising for the action
Procurando pela ação
Lit up like a firefly
Iluminado como um vaga-lume
Just to feel the living night
Apenas para sentir a noite viva
Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Alguns venderão seus sonhos por pequenos desejos
Or lose the race to rats
Ou perderão a corrida para os ratos
Get caught in ticking traps
Ficarão presos em armadilhas de tique-taque
And start to dream of somewhere
E começarão a sonhar com algum lugar
To relax their restless flight
Para relaxar seu voo inquieto
Somewhere out of a memory
Em algum lugar fora de uma memória
Of lighted streets on quiet nights
De ruas iluminadas em noites tranquilas

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
Extendido en los límites de la ciudad
In geometric order
En orden geométrico
An insulated border
Una frontera aislada
In-between the bright lights
Entre las luces brillantes
And the far, unlit unknown
Y el lejano, desconocido sin luz
Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Creciendo, todo parece tan unilateral

The unattractive truth
La fea verdad
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
Pero los suburbios no tienen encantos para calmar
The restless dreams of youth
Los sueños inquietos de la juventud
Drawn like moths, we drift into the city
Atraídos como polillas, nos adentramos en la ciudad
The timeless old attraction
La antigua atracción atemporal
Cruising for the action
Buscando la acción
Lit up like a firefly
Iluminado como una luciérnaga
Just to feel the living night
Solo para sentir la noche viva
Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Algunos venderán sus sueños por pequeños deseos
Or lose the race to rats
O perderán la carrera a las ratas
Get caught in ticking traps
Quedarse atrapados en trampas de tiempo
And start to dream of somewhere
Y empezar a soñar con algún lugar
To relax their restless flight
Para relajar su vuelo inquieto
Somewhere out of a memory
En algún lugar fuera de un recuerdo
Of lighted streets on quiet nights
De calles iluminadas en noches tranquilas

Ou perdre la course aux rats
Get caught in ticking traps
Se faire prendre dans des pièges à tic-tac
And start to dream of somewhere
Et commencer à rêver d'un endroit
To relax their restless flight
Pour détendre leur vol agité
Somewhere out of a memory
Quelque part hors d'un souvenir
Of lighted streets on quiet nights
De rues éclairées lors de nuits tranquilles
