Holding on Is Holding You Back

歌词
Yooo that’s nice!!!
Yooo that’s nice!!!
Alright alright settle down settle down
好吧,冷静,要冷静
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
(Yooo that’s nice!), Oh yeah
(Yooo that’s nice!), Oh yeah
Yeah
Yeah
我也很惊讶我居然能同时搞砸那么多事
In these times I’m surprised I’ve let these things end in a mess
我脑子里塞满了灵感它们都有点影响到我了
I’ve bottled it up so much it’s infected my head
但是却很难具体地把它们诉诸笔尖
But it was hard to write it down on a page
就好像是另一个人抓着笔
With someone else holding the pen
好吧现在我打算离开这个监禁区出去走走
只为了取悦我自己
And now I’m left with no inhibitions
反正世上有那么多大腿可以抱
It’s only myself to please
跪到膝盖流血也跪不完嘛
There’s only so many d!cks you can suck
建议你选择闭上嘴
Till your knees start to bleed
让我自由
And your jaw starts to lock as you mumble
曾经我的感觉就像个被带去超市的孩子
Set me free
戴着项圈被领着路走
虽然不会迷路啦
It’s like I was a child in a supermarket
但是被迫带去蔬菜水果区和见鬼也差不多
And someone was holding me by the collar
“有人看见我爹了吗,他又走丢了”
So I didn’t get lost
所以说目前为止我一直在乱逛
And I was stuck by the fruit and veg section screaming
尝试摸清那些东西运行的规律
“Has anyone seen my dad I don't know where he is”
“我们在这里干啥?”
And so for a while it seemed I was wandering around
“我又相信些什么?”
Tryna figure out what it all means like
为什么要全权交给上面的人处理?
“Why are we here?”
明明就和我老爹一样不靠谱……
“What do I believe?”
不过在得到Zac的简讯以后我走出了阴霾
Why did I hand the power over to a corporation
我之前告诉了他我的情况然后他说
That lost control of my dreams but...
“也许你没注意到,所谓的坚持到底”
Out the blue I got a text from Zac
“才是正在阻碍你抵达目的地的东西”
I told him my situation and that I can’t relax and he said
“是的”
I think you’d be surprised how much holding on
“就是你想的那样”
Is holding you back
好吧我懂了
Yeah
确实
It’s holding you back
你在意的东西才有能力阻碍你
Yooo that’s nice!!!
所以才一直原地徘徊
Yeah
所以有时该试着释怀
It’s holding you back from the things that you like...
Yooo that’s nice!!!
It’s holding you back so you can’t see the light...
它们正在让你退步
It’s holding you back
曾经我16,满脑子梦想废料
Yooo that’s nice!!!
我对Danny说有一天你会看见我在那个舞台上载歌载舞
It’s holding you back
确实不少人疯了,但我可没开玩笑
甚至我要搞到Ari的电话号码(得了吧兄弟你都她两轮大了)
So I was 16 with a head full of dreams
在那之后几年我逐渐迷失
And I was telling Danny it’ll be me you’ll see on that arena stage
就那么到处哼哼自己当年也是个流行之王啥的
There’s people going insane
“你懂我意思吗,我当年可是……”
And I’ll try get Ari’s number mate but you’re twice her age
“我懂你意思,不过现在兄弟你混的真不咋地……”
And then came a couple of years where I was lost
不过我已经习惯了和音乐舞蹈打交道
I was bumming around reminiscing about top of the pop saying
即使我的旋律已经过时而我上台时甚至会手抖
“Hey I made it once I got to the top...”
即使我一文不名甚至去求别人听听我的歌
“Yeah and now you're depressed just because you got dropped...”
然后被某个随身带公文包的男人再次拒绝
But I learnt to face the music and dance
(但是你可以的!!兄弟!!)
Even if the rhythm is off and you can’t control your hands
就像是一行无法破解的代码
Even when your money hits zero and you’re begging for fans
当你意识到这一路走来不知何时已经……
And when the man with the briefcase say’s you can’t
我也只能继续骗自己说
Ya f!cking can lad!!!
“年轻人你某一天会惊讶于自己已经走了多远……”
And it’s a tough code to crack...
但我一直在退步
To realise the journey is where it’s at...
Yooo that’s nice!!!
And I still have to say to myself...
到底是什么阻碍了我?
I think you’d be surprised how much holding on young man
Yeah
Is holding you back
所以
Yooo that’s nice!!!
你在意的东西才有能力阻碍你
It’s holding you back
所以才一直原地徘徊
Yeah
所以有时该试着释怀
It’s holding you back
释怀
It’s holding you back from the things that you like...
所以别死抓着过去的事不放
It’s holding you back so you can’t see the light...
就该放手
It’s holding you back
遵循内心的指引
It’s holding you back
Oh no
Yooo that’s nice!!!
If you’re holding on to something
所以别死抓着过去的事不放
Let it go
就该放手
Don’t fight the feeling...
遵循内心的指引
Oh no
Oh no
Yooo that’s nice!!!
现在我会建议你不要学我说一些“想当年”的屁话
If you’re holding on to something
你的当年只存在你的主观记忆之中
Let it go
我学到的客观教训则告诉我
Don’t fight the feeling...
忘掉它们才是通往未来的路径
Oh no
也许我只是稍微转变了一下观点
不过我现在收归了坐下休息的权力
Now I hope you don’t take this as me saying I’ve made it
不再刻意钻营那些我希求的东西
Because “made it” is subjective
另外,谢了,Zac
And I’ve learnt that “making it” is all about happiness
我终于明白了我一直死抓不放的那些
That’s the main objective
就像你说的
And I guess maybe I just had a shift in perspective
是它们让我原地踏步
So now it’s up to me to sit back and relax
我放下了
And no longer focus on the things that I lack
并且遵循我内心的指引
And thanks to Zac
Oh no
I’ve finally come to realise that holding on
是它们让你止步不前
Ya get what I’m saying
Yooo that’s nice!
If you’re holding on to something
你在意的东西才有能力阻碍你
Let it go
所以才一直原地徘徊
Don’t fight the feeling...
所以要释怀
Oh no
当它们蒙蔽了你的眼睛
It’s holding you back
你只能听内心的声音
Yooo that’s nice!
当成就你的反成了枷锁
If you’re holding on to something
这可不太对
It’s holding you back from the things that you like...
你得超越所有窠臼
Let it go
这才对
It’s holding you back so you can’t see the light...
Don’t fight the feeling...
It’s holding you back
Oh no
It’s holding you back
Yooo that’s nice!!!
