If you try to get close to me, be prepared, it might hurt
‘Cause I live like the human I am, so my nails will catch some dirt
Don’t expect a knight on a horse to come rescue the princess in you
I got me on my mind, I put myself first and so should you
如果你试图靠近我,做好准备,可能会受伤
因为我以真实的自己生活,所以我的指甲会有污垢
不要期待骑士会来拯救你内心的公主
我心里有自己,我把自己放第一位,你也该这样
If you find this hard to survive, please think before you say farewell
Without the history of my past, I would be an empty shell
The bags that we carry around contain fragments of yesterday
The heavier load, the harder to cope,
but gas for the grey
如果你觉得这样很难挺过去,那么请在你告别前想清楚
如果没有我的过去,我将会是一具空壳
我们背负的袋子装着昨日记忆的碎片
包越沉重,越难应付,弥漫着灰色的气体
Mmm...don’t you listen to the choir of jealous people full of hate
If they have nothing better in their life, I swear inside they ache...they ache
嗯……不要听充斥嫉妒的颂歌,人们心中满是仇恨
如果他们的生活中没有更美好的东西,
我敢肯定他们内心很痛……很痛
*Whatever this town makes you think of me
I’ll still be around, when the final bell rings*
Whatever this town makes you think of me
**There’s nothing that they can do, this city hasn’t already done
There’s no need to be scared so I laugh in their face when they pull their gun**
*不论这座小镇让你如何想起我
即使末日来临,我仍会在你身边*
不论这座小镇让你如何想起我
**他们什么也不能做,这个城市还没完
没必要害怕。当他们拔出枪,我朝他们的脸放声大笑**
Repeat ** 重复**
Repeat * three times 重复*三次
入耳轻柔的吉他伴奏和异常阴柔的低唱极尽坦诚,仿若某种孤独来袭,词间那种疏离让人在沉默过后开始思考起这个世界的“真实”。片刻,曲风转为不太浓郁的rock,更透露出一种无奈,一种无奈背后的坚强。
有时候,我们谁都不想去理会,只想做最真实的自己。生活和情感之间存在距离和温差。不要用带童话色彩的视角打量你的爱情。那个不给你任何完美承诺,但陪你走到世界尽头的人,才是最珍贵的爱人。在浪漫和理智之间,唯有勇气与坚强才能在心中开出最绚烂的花。
任何时候,“自救”都是硬道理。
