歌词
Seems like the roads stretch out like veins, but there's no heart.
以为马路是如大自然的血脉般延伸,但其实它从未有过生命与灵魂
Nature's haircut is concrete now, and we played our part.
曾绿意葱茏的地球已被钢筋水泥替代,而我们没有人能逃脱责任
So we sing ...Dalang,Dalang,Dalang...
所以我们只能歌唱……
I've lost my taste for modern things. They're not for me.
我不属于,这个摩登时代。所谓一切现代之物,对我来说,已变得无味寡淡。
I want mundane: a quiet place, where time is free,
我想要的不过平凡:岁月静好,自我陪伴,
And I can sing ...Da-Da-Dalang,Dalang,Dalang...
那么我就可以歌唱……
Crawled from my bed, to collect the thoughts that'd fallen from my head,
从床上爬下,试图捡拾起脑海中遗落的思绪万千。
And you watched me sink, through the carpet, through the basement, and beyond.
你目视着我沉沦,穿过地毯,穿过地下室,向着深渊。
And you didn't blink.
而你眼都不眨,面色未变。
On the glass, I traced the sun with my thumb. It sank into the ground.
我趴在玻璃窗上,用拇指追着太阳,直至它沉入地平面。
And then the stars were blinking, like kids who were staring into the wind.
就像盯着风儿看的孩子,星星在远方眨着眼。
So I(So I) climbed through the window and walked until I lost my name.
所以我爬出窗,一直走,走到我遗忘了自己的脸。
Now I(Now I) can play the victim.(Oh) It's fine.(Yes,Sir) I've seen it on TV.
这样我就可以扮演无辜的受害者了,这没什么,电视上一直在上演。
If there's one thing I know, it's that I never really know enough.
这世间我唯一清楚知晓的,是我有太多太多仍一知半解。
Our hands, our mouths, our brains, our lungs: they're just machines.
我们的手,我们的口,我们的肺,我们的脑:他们都已不过是机器。
These hearts are all that we've got left, and they don't beat.
唯有我们的心还属于我们,但它们却失去了跳动的能力。
Live a little, talk a lot; it's the way this goes.
及时行乐,夸夸其谈,世道便是这般。
I've come to fear the little knives beneath their well-pressed clothes.
熨帖绅士的外表下是无数细小锋芒,他们的绵里藏针让我恐慌。
Their arms are reaching; reach is spreading through the neon glow.
无孔不入的手在霓虹光中四处嚣张。
Their mouths are moving, but their voices sound like telephones.
他们在滔滔不绝,然而声音却如同电话般令人生厌。
The traffic hums; the traffic grumbles near my old window.
车流声嘈嘈杂杂,在我的旧窗边满腹怨气,喋喋不休,唧唧咋咋。
The street lights flicker; glow and hover like suspended snow.
街灯明灭不定,闪烁徘徊,如同在半空中盘旋不落的雪。
I used to watch the moon retreat and wonder where it goes.
我曾看着明月渐隐,困惑何地是其归处。
Now I just wonder why my head is overrun with ghosts.
而现如今我只困惑,为何我的脑中已只剩鬼魅荒芜。
