歌词
People love you when they on your mind
你侵蚀着我们的大脑 却对你痴狂
A thought is love’s currency
思潮好似一种流通货币
And I been thinking about her all the time
我对她的思念此消彼长(这里的“her”指的并不是一个女人 应该是暗指Mac以前的毒瘾)
I never seen somebody put together perfectly
从未有谁能将你完美地拼凑起来
What do I have to do to call you mine
怎样的努力才能将你占为己有
Someone like you is so hard to find
众里寻她千百度 灯火阑珊你在何处
You can open up your eyes or you can walk it blind
睁开你的双眸 或者选择睁一只眼闭一只眼
All I ask is that you hurry, I won’t hurt you don’t you worry
愿你别急躁 别担心 我不会伤害你
Listen to me, I’mma set you free
听我说 我会赐你翅膀 让你自由
Yeah, he ain’t gonna break your heart again
是的 他再无机会伤你心
Go through the worst to reach the ecstasy
鬼门关走一遭 只为陶醉一番(一开始吸毒的人 都要忍受毒品带来的副作用之后 才能感觉到真正的快感)
When your imagination’s on pretend
脱缰野马般的想象力混淆了我的视听
Never thought that it would feel this way
一落千丈的感觉让我措不及防(吸毒的人都会经历从体验毒瘾的快感 到最后对毒品依赖的失落感觉)
You never taught me how to heal the pain
你带领我游玩“极乐之地” 却未曾教会我如何抚平心中伤痛
I wish you caught me on a different day
真希望与你邂逅之期是在仲夏而非严冬(2011年Mac专辑遭受负面的消息和紧锣密鼓的演出安排使得Mac疲惫不堪 为了让自己激发灵感并充满活力 Mac开始服用purple drink)
When it was easier to be happy
至少那样我会比现在更快乐
So just a little taste and you know she got you
她的一笑一颦让我魂不守舍(Mac服用的毒品“lean” 通常只需要喝几小口就会上瘾)
Can you hide away? Can you hide away?
求求你 别缠着我了
Sound of silence as they all just watch you
朋友们看着我陷入深渊却束手无策
I kinda find it strange, how the times have changed
我开始疑惑 梦想随着时间流逝而变了样
I wish, we could go and be free, once, baby, you and me
多希望跟你在一起享受自由 让烦恼烟消云散
We could change the world forever and never come back again
目标坚定地往前走 无需害怕走回头路
Let’s leave it all in the rear view, let’s leave it all in the rear view
我们把不愉快的种种 都抛在脑后吧(rear view是后视镜 人们只有想往后看的时候才会注视后视镜)
You don’t have to cry, you don’t have to cry
眼泪 就是我成长的代价
Mend a broken heart, girl, if you can
也许只有你才是我疗伤良药(感情受挫的Mac开始尝试purple lean 以为药物可以让他走出伤痛。最终Mac醒悟到 药物只能麻木他的伤痛 无法治愈真正的伤痛)
I don’t expect you to be capable
即使你对我无效 我也要尝试服用
You got the world right in your hands
刹那间世间万物都在你五指间
And that responsibility is unescapable
俗话说得好:“能力越大 责任越大”(成名之后 Mac不仅要处理压力和负面新闻 还要尽全力去满足歌迷的对自己的期待)
I promise that I’ll be a different man
我下定决心 重新做人
Please give me the chance to go and live again
主啊!再给我一次重生的机会吧
I’m having some trouble, can you give a hand?
兄弟们 拉我一把吧(Mac的朋友们甚至不知道Mac开始服用致瘾药物 当时的他 内心深处却渴望朋友们的帮助)
It seems perfection really is so unattainable
她看起来完美无瑕 可我却再也不奢求(此句呼应前文的,虽然服用这些药物确实激发了Mac的创作灵感,可是最后才明白 没有绝对完美的事情)
Don’t even say you ’bout to end it all
死亡才是每个人的宿命
Your life precious, ain’t no need to go and kill yourself
生命诚可贵,爱情价更高,若为自由故,两者皆可抛(Mac回想起自己上瘾的那段时间 连自杀都不算什么。现在却发现生命有许多他值得为之拼搏的东西)
I ain’t so sure that there’s an end at all
我甚至怀疑自己是否能够看到生命的尽头
I wish the truth would just reveal itself
希望天堂之门会为我而打开(这张专辑的主旨之一就是对“人死后是上天堂还是入地狱”这个问题的探讨)
Who do you call to make it to the top?
谁能帮你登上巅峰?
And who do you call to make the shooting stop?
谁能帮你停止尘世间的硝烟战火?
And who do you call to give the coupe a wash?
谁能帮你清洗你的座驾?
After everything I did, I think I’m still myself
经历了凡世的纷纷扰扰 我 出淤泥而不染
So just a little taste and you know she got you
她的一笑一颦让我魂不守舍(让Mac上瘾的不仅有毒品 更让他痴迷的是音乐和对音乐的热爱)
Can you hide away? Can you hide away?
求求你 别缠着我了
Sound of silence as they all just watch you
朋友们看着我陷入深渊却束手无策
I kinda find it strange, how the times have changed
我开始疑惑 梦想随着时间流逝而变了样
I wish, we could go and be free, once, baby, you and me
多希望跟你在一起享受自由 让烦恼烟消云散
We could change the world forever and never come back again
目标坚定地往前走 无需害怕走回头路
Let’s leave it all in the rear view, let’s leave it all in the rear view
我们把不愉快的种种 都抛在脑后吧(与歌名有异曲同工之妙 Mac希望把过去的负能量都放在rear view里 带着正能量往前走)
You don’t have to cry, you don’t have to cry
眼泪 就是我成长的代价 OURDEN字幕组 (OURDEN.NET)【翻译:PZH】
