"Urutaa" lyrics

"Urutaa"

[Māori:]

The weight of normality
The pressure of civilisation
It never worked for me
I gave up long ago

Urutaa...

Kua tae mai nga tauiwi
Tae o rite te patupaiarehe
He taonga rereke
Whangaroa e makutu ana

Urutaa...

Assumptions of what they know
They need to prove they're worthy
Of popularity
Theories are made but theories are flawed
I gave in 'cause they gave up

Urutaa...

[English translation:]

The weight of normality
The pressure of civilisation
It never worked for me
I gave up long ago

Plague...

The arrival of strangers
The colour of the spirit people
A mysterious object
Curses Whangaroa

Plague...

Assumptions of what they know
They need to prove they're worthy
Of popularity
Theories are made but theories are flawed
I gave in 'cause they gave up

Plague...
