歌词
Could be wrong but I think
或许有误但是我想
When you take center stage not a single eye blinks
当你站在舞台中央万众瞩目
Some forced to squint
有的人眯起眼睛
In an awkward attempt
在拙劣的尝试中
To somehow filter your glow
试图自己忽略你的光芒
But you know...
但是你明白…
That the polish of your armor got'em in a trance
你盔甲的光泽 让他们恍惚
Colors intertwine with the power of a dance
色彩交织着舞动的磅礴力量
Poetry in motion got'em in a stand still
如诗般的舞步 令他们驻足流连
Eyes glaze over, jaws drop like anvils
目光凝滞 惊诧不已
A feeling you're wishing that even time can't kill
那是种你希望连时间都不会磨灭的感觉
Sorry to inform you but it can and will
但遗憾的是 总有一天它会褪去
So make the most of it
所以趁现在 尽力成就它
And folks love it
而人们喜欢它
Is it the bare essentials
它是不可或缺的精髓
Or the bells and whistles
还是华而不实的花哨
Can't tell initially but what remains
最初我说不清
When a fella's history is it the name
但当人们回想一个人的过去 却只想起他的名字
That fades like memories
这留下的便如记忆般消逝
Time will tell
时间会告诉你
You know that the divine's design prevails
你会明白它将战胜一切
When the luster fades
当那光芒消逝
Will you be a legend or a distant memory
你会成为传说还是遥远的过去
Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy
是被传颂还是一场大梦
When they reminisce over you
当他们忆起你
Will they front or give you your dues
是直言你的完美无瑕还是有所缺憾
When the luster fades
当那光芒消逝
Will you make your mark or be written out of history
你会在历史上刻下印迹还是被抹去
Stimulate thought or become a nonentity
是激发思想全力以赴还是就此无踪没世无闻
When they reminisce over you
当他们忆起你
Will they front or give you your dues
是直言你的完美无瑕还是有所缺憾
When the luster fades

We're running out of time and it's funny I guess
我们并非永恒。而有趣的是
'Cause we strive to make something that it is truly timeless
我们却在努力去做一些真正永恒的事
That'll never tarnish
不会黯淡
And maintain it's beauty
永远保持美丽
But is that the nature of time?
但这是时间的本性吗
They say that we got 15 minutes to shine
他们说我们只有15分钟去闪耀
But it's all relative
但一切都是相对的
'Cause 15 minutes can feel like forever if
如果我们不相信时光流逝
We don't believe that time flies
那么15分钟就仿若永恒
But you that most are blind to The Inner Minds Eye
可我们常常不了解自己的潜能
Where people come and go with a blink
人们行走匆匆
And celebrate your memory and toast with a drink
为庆祝你的经历 举杯畅饮
Making your exit as their next thought enters
随即不再提起 踏入新天地
You've made your deposit in their memory bank
可其实你已存于他们的记忆
Hoping one day eventually to gain interest
希望这终有一天能让他们开怀
Instead of drawing blanks whenever your name's mentioned
而不是提到你的名字时一片空白
Hot today tomorrow you're cold & lonely
繁华如梦，当昨日光辉不再
Tell me where will these songs be...
请告诉我这些歌谣将会去往哪里
