歌词
Could be wrong but I think
可能我的想法是错的 但是在我看来
When you take center stage not a single eye blinks
当你站到舞台中央细细观察
Some forced to squint
有些人会不自然地斜眼看你
In an awkward attempt
用一种令人不适的方式
To somehow filter your glow
莫名其妙地就滤掉你的光彩
But you know...
但是你明白...
That the polish of your armor got'em in a trance
当你擦亮装甲 就会令人着迷
Colors intertwine with the power of a dance
五颜六色在舞蹈的能量中交错
Poetry in motion got'em in a stand still
充满诗意的动作令人驻足流连
Eyes glaze over, jaws drop like anvils
目光变得呆滞 惊诧于其中的美妙
A feeling you're wishing that even time can't kill
这是一种你渴求的感受 一种甚至连时间都不能抹杀的感受
Sorry to inform you but it can and will
抱歉告诉了你太多个人的想法 但是它就是有这样的能力
So make the most of it
所以我付出我的所有
And folks love it
人们也热爱它
Is it the bare essentials
这算生命中某种不可见的必要因素吗
Or the bells and whistles
或是某段难以忘记的铃声和口哨声
Can't tell initially but what remains
很难从最初的事和你说起 但是有些东西会留下
When a fella's history is it the name
一个人在历史的车轮中前进
That fades like memories
最后他的名字还不是像记忆一样消逝了
Time will tell
时间会说明一切
You know that the divine's design prevails
你知道 神学家的设想正在盛行
When the luster fades
当你的光华逝去
Will you be a legend or a distant memory
你会成为一个传奇吗？或仅仅是一个遥远的记忆呢？
Praised by your brethren or a waste of energy
你会变成受人称道的人吗？或仅仅是一个浪费精力的人？
When they reminisce over you
当别人回忆起你
Will they front or give you your dues
他们会充满力量向前吗？还是仅仅给你你所应得之评价？
When the luster fades
当你的光华逝去
Will you make your mark or be written out of history

We're running out of time and it's funny I guess
我觉得我们会用尽自己的时间这件事很滑稽
'Cause we strive to make something that it is truly timeless
因为我们那么努力去使某些事成为真正的永恒
That'll never tarnish
那些永远不会褪色的东西
And maintain it's beauty
一直维持着它的美妙
But is that the nature of time?
但是这并不符合时间的规律
They say that we got 15 minutes to shine
他们说我们只有15分钟去散发自己的光芒
But it's all relative
但是这些都是相对的 主观的
'Cause 15 minutes can feel like forever if
因为15分钟足以让人感到永恒
We don't believe that time flies
如果我们不愿相信时间在流逝的话
But you that most are blind to The Inner Minds Eye
但是大多数人都对内心所见视而不见
Where people come and go with a blink
在人们来去之间 那些闪着光的地方
And celebrate your memory and toast with a drink
觥筹交错 庆祝着彼此间的回忆
Making your exit as their next thought enters
让你的离去就像他们下一个想法出现那么简单
You've made your deposit in their memory bank
你把你所剩的东西存进了他们的记忆银行
Hoping one day eventually to gain interest
期待着某天终于能让别人获得一些乐趣
Instead of drawing blanks whenever your name's mentioned
而不是无论何时别人提起你的名字时都是一片空白
Hot today tomorrow you're cold & lonely
此刻热烈又如何 明天你还是空虚寂寞冷
