He learned to walk and talk on time
Dia belajar berjalan dan berbicara tepat waktu
But never cared much to be held
Tapi tak peduli banyak yang harus dilakukan
and steadily he would decline
dan mantap dia akan menurun
Into his solitary shell
Ke dalam cangkang soliternya

As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
Sebagai anak laki-laki ia dianggap agak ganjil
Kept to himself most of the time
Disimpan untuk dirinya sendiri sebagian besar waktu
He would daydream in and out of his own world
Dia akan melamun masuk dan keluar dari dunianya sendiri
but in every other way he was fine
Tapi bagaimanapun juga dia baik-baik saja

He’s a Monday morning lunatic
Dia Senin pagi orang gila
Disturbed from time to time
Terganggu dari waktu ke waktu
Lost within himself
Hilang di dalam dirinya sendiri
In his solitary shell
Dalam cangkang soliternya

A temporary catatonic
Sebuah katatonik sementara
Madman on occasion
Madman pada kesempatan
When will he break out
Kapan dia akan keluar?
Of his solitary shell
Dari cangkang soliternya

He struggled to get through his day
Dia berjuang untuk melewati hari-harinya
He was helplessly behind
Dia tak berdaya di belakang
He poured himself onto the page
Dia menuangkan dirinya ke halaman
Writing for hours at a time
Menulis selama berjam-jam setiap kalinya

As a man he was a danger to himself
Sebagai pria ia berbahaya bagi dirinya sendiri
Fearful and sad most of the time
Takut dan sedih sebagian besar waktu
He was drifting in and out of sanity
Dia hanyut masuk dan keluar dari kewarasan
But in every other way he was fine
Tapi bagaimanapun juga dia baik-baik saja

He’s a Monday morning lunatic
Dia Senin pagi orang gila
Disturbed from time to time
Terganggu dari waktu ke waktu
Lost within himself
Hilang di dalam dirinya sendiri
In his solitary shell
Dalam cangkang soliternya

A momentary maniac
Seorang maniak sesaat
With casual delusions
Dengan delusi santai
When will he be let out
Kapan dia akan dikeluarkan
Of his solitary shell
Dari cangkang soliternya
