歌词
Well it hurt too much to pray for it
它过于伤痛,以至于我不能为它祈祷
So I sold my shit to pay for it
所以我卖掉我的所有破烂,就为了支付起它
Now I'm ragged and I’m lean
现在我衣衫褴褛,身体羸弱
Bearing the dead weight of a dream
背负着梦想那如死亡一般的重担
But I remember it well and I remember it clear
但我记得很清楚
That moment I said I've gotta get outta here
曾经那一刻,我说我要离开这里
Singing that Holiday tune
吟唱着节日的曲调
Drinking whisky alone in my room
独自在我的房间里喝着威士忌
A drunken train wreck with a sense of direction
火车那醉醺醺的残骸,伴随着它的方向感
Gonna make it outta here despite your affection
尽管你有着对我的好感,我还是要离开这里
Said if I don't break free, then it’ll break me
并说着:“如果我不挣脱这些,那我就会被这些打垮”
But the sun doesn't shine in the back of that hall
但是那华丽的大厅后面,阳光并没有在普遍地照耀着
And everybody scatters when you start to fall
当你开始倒下的时候,大家都纷纷散去
Well if you crack that mirror when you hit the wall
如果你撞到墙上的时候,也把那面镜子打碎了
Baby, go and make yourself a disco ball
宝贝,去成为一个迪斯科球吧
Let your light scatter and fall
让你的光芒四处散去,然后洒落下来
Through it all
贯穿这所有的一切
When I first started out, people said I was bold
当我刚开启我的旅程时,人们都说我胆子大
They didn't realize I was running from the fear of getting old
他们没有意识到,我是在逃避,逃避对年华逝去的恐惧
And visions of my future self
逃避我对自己未来的幻想
With a cigarette hanging out of my mouth
嘴里叼着一根香烟
And a hairnet on in some kitchen down south
在一个南边的厨房里戴上了发网
My potential soaked in gin
我把我的前途浸泡在杜松子酒里
Talking about what I could've been
大肆谈论着我本可以成为的那个样子
So I sold myself to the American dream
所以我把自己卖给了美国梦
I got a predatory loan with my spirit on lien
我用我的精神,只在留置权上得到了一笔掠夺性贷款(留置权:债权人用抵押品作为债务偿还方式的法律权利;掠夺性贷款:在美国各地普遍存在的条件恶劣的贷款)
They say “you can make it if you try”
他们说 "只要你努力,你就能做到"
Then they'll stand around watching you dying
然后他们会冷漠地站在一旁,眼看着你缓缓死去
And I see the luck drying up wherever I go
而我无论走到哪里,都看到那“幸运”正逐渐风干
Vacant windows, foreclosed homes
空置窗口、止赎房屋(止赎房屋:因无力还贷导致抵押品赎回权被取消的房屋)
I may be lost but I am not alone
我也许是迷失了,但还有更多人如我这般
So if the sun doesn't shine in the back of your hall
所以,如果阳光不照到你的大厅后面
And if everybody scatters when you start to fall
如果你开始倒下的时候大家都散开了的话
Well if you crack that mirror when you hit the wall
如果你撞到墙上的时候把那面镜子打碎了的话
Baby, go and make yourself a disco ball
宝贝,去成为一个迪斯科球吧
And let your light scatter and fall
并且让你的光芒四处散去,然后洒落下来
Let your light scatter and fall
让你的光芒散去,落下
Through it all
贯穿了这一切
