[CHORUS]
Think positive — your glass is always sitting halfway full, trust me on that
Feel the good things — evil doesn’t exist, between a “no” and “yes” it’s “yes,” and that’s that
Believe the best — life is a dance beneath a gentle, watching God
Just keep repeating this bullshit, keep repeating, even when it sounds fucking odd
[VERSE 1]
You’re not afraid only because they haven’t frightened you just yet
You trust in Tanya — you haven’t seen that video of her getting fucked, don’t sweat
You’re at peace, friend — you haven’t yet been curious about your own blood report
You’re a lucky man while aspirin still does the job — consider it your last resort
You’re an optimist — you’ve never heard how molten lead can hiss against the flesh
You sleep like a baby — never filmed a snuff flick where a lollipop’s on a corpse still fresh
You’re good with yourself — you’ve never had to go and rob old folks of all they’ve got
Your pulse stays even — you’ve never cut a scalp from someone’s head, believe it or not
[CHORUS]
Think positive — your glass is always sitting halfway full, trust me on that
Feel the good things — evil doesn’t exist, between a “no” and “yes” it’s “yes,” and that’s that
Believe the best — life is a dance beneath a gentle, watching God
Just keep repeating this bullshit, keep repeating, even when it sounds fucking odd
[VERSE 2]
A couple weeks of spring went by — and now they’ve finally given you a scare
You beat Tanya to a bloody pulp — you saw that video, now you know what’s there
You’re completely mind-fucked from the moment that you looked into your blood report
You’ve grown up fast now that aspirin can’t touch your pain — there’s no resort
You’re a pessimist for life — you’ve heard the molten lead hiss on your flesh
You can’t sleep — just a freeze-frame burned in your skull: lollipop on a corpse, still fresh
You’re at war with yourself — you’ve already robbed some helpless elder, taken their lot
Your arrhythmia checks out — you’ve scalped people for their wigs, and yet
[CHORUS]
Think positive — your glass is always sitting halfway full, trust me on that
Feel the good things — evil doesn’t exist, between a “no” and “yes” it’s “yes,” and that’s that
Believe the best — life is a dance beneath a gentle, watching God
Just keep repeating this bullshit, keep repeating, even when it sounds fucking odd
Think positive — your glass is always sitting halfway full, trust me on that
Just don’t think about what’s in that glass
Think that what’s in the glass is water
Think that what’s in the glass is water
Think positive — your glass is always sitting halfway full, trust me on that
Feel the good things — evil doesn’t exist, between a “no” and “yes” it’s “yes,” and that’s that
Believe the best — life is a dance beneath a gentle, watching God
Just keep repeating this bullshit, keep repeating, even when it sounds fucking odd​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Review:
An English reimagining of the track "Думай позитивно" by the cult Russian group Кровосток, from their 2012 album Студень.

Krovostok is known for their unique blend of clinical nihilism, lyrical surrealism, and dark irony. This adaptation stays true to the original's "harmful advice" — a satirical take on toxic positivity set against a backdrop of grim, visceral reality.

Think Positive (English Adaptation of Krovostok-Думай позитивно)

[Verse]
Feel the rain, chase the sun
Share the pain, find the one
Touch the light, hold the breath
Cross the night, face the depth
[Pre-Chorus]
Break the wall, hear the call
Catch the fall, give it all
[Chorus]
Read the soul, make me whole
Find the way, light the day
Hold the flame, stake the claim
Bear the weight, seal the fate
[Verse 2]
Build the trust, keep the ground
Hear the rush, feel the sound
Cross the line, find the truth
Chase the sign, claim the proof
[Bridge]
Break the crowd, lose the game
Fight the noise, keep the flame
Find the shore, hold the tide
Open the door, stay inside
[Outro]
Feel the rain
(touch the skin)
Lose the pain
(let love in)

Ref: Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love

Feel the rain, chase the sun

[Vers 1]
Mi waz go to kamp, drajv Škoda on rod
Raš forward, tek risk — Moravja mi hom
Fom bažin lurk bist, ris fom bogi fen
El ejts Prag folk — Jožin strajks agen

[Korus]
Jožin fom bažin — krip tru mers
Jožin fom bažin — kom to vil
Jožin fom bažin — šarp iz fangz
Jožin fom bažin — bajt, suk, čok!
Hu wud ev tik — Jožin stopt
Onli plandust plan!

[Vers 2]
Pas tru vil skwer, wej to Vizovits
Čejmn gret mi, por mi slivovits
“Bring mi Jožin — ded or alajv — hu kan
Getz datr for brejd and farmland”

[Korus]
Jožin fom bažin — krip tru mers
Jožin fom bažin — kom to vil
Jožin fom bažin — šarp iz fangz
Jožin fom bažin — bajt, suk, čok!
Hu wud ev tik — Jožin stopt
Onli plandust plan!

[Vers 3]
“Giv mi, Čejmn, plandust — izi, no big dil
Mi wil bring bak Jožin — mi promis, tru ril”
Čejmn gev mi wot mi wont, mornin up mi flu
Dropt dust on Jožin — nis and strejt and tru

[Finl Korus]
Jožin fom bažin iz now wajt dust
Jožin fom bažin raš out to lajt
Jožin fom bažin skrambl on ston
Jožin fom bažin — don, gon, blown!
Mi kaut old Jožin — got him — yohoho!
Mon in pokat — mi sol him to zu!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Jožin fom bažin (Mashup) (Ref: Ivan Mladek & Banjo Band - Jožin z bažin)

I love the idea that lyrics can be a kind of care for the listener - saying what they want to hear but rarely do. Love, acceptance, desire. So many people lack these things, and music is one of the few ways to have them, even if just for three minutes. That’s one of the things I explore in my music.
PS
If there’s something missing in your life - tell me. I mean it. Your words might become the next song.
