歌词
[WIP]
多年之前我写下的这些的信
我觉得它们
These old letters from years ago
终于能把我内心的想法表达出来
I felt it was leading to a
又一个深红色的房间
[…]
又一个黑压压的城市
When I wrote this […] I may have been finally able to address how it feels
又一个名字被拼错的乐队 将他们的房子付之一炬
又一曲为这死气沉沉的生活所作的曲 又一次的停留
[Main vocals]
炽烈的橙色永远好过这毫无生气的灰色
又一片产不出果实的贫瘠之地
Another brick-red room
又一首太过冗长的歌
Another black-top town
老天知道这世界不需要更多误入歧途的人们了
Another misspelled band burning their own houses down
面目模糊的人们给我们投了几个硬币 于是我们在燃烧的苍穹下献上狂(riot)舞（riot!是乐队2007年专辑的名字）
Another pine-box tune to fill the cemetery day another stay
在我们夸张的妆容下 藏着的是对那些狂热笑容的恐惧
A touch of orange over purgatory gray
所以拜托你们别再把我们当神明膜拜 把这崇拜掷入大海
Another thorny field to scatter fruitless seed
因为私底下的我根本没你想象的那么完美
Another song that runs too long
我躺在床上为这一知半解的自我剖析悲痛不已
God knows no one needs more misguided ghosts
连床都让我不得安宁
More transparent hands to drop a nickel in our basket and we’ll do our riot! dance beneath another burning sky
这不过是最普通的罪过罢了 你也许会说这就是我野心勃勃的代价
Behind our painted lips in scares catatonic smile-covered ankle-bitten ships
我不想让你失望 所以我宁愿溺死自己单调无趣的灵魂 扮演你天真想象出来的角色
So throw your pedestal of stone in the forgetful sea as protection from the paper-thin
我感到最自由的时候
Perfection you project on me when this repetition ends behind the window shades
是我双目如炬 无人以为他们了解我时
A semi-conscious sorrow sleeping in the bed I’ve made
所以在这团乱麻又开始作祟前
That most unrestful bed
在那刺眼的太阳升起前
That most original of sins and you’ll say that’s what I get when I let ambition win again
我的司机在等我 所以我在这把话说清楚了：
I’d hate to let you down so I’ll let the waters rise and drown my dull reflection in the naive expectation in your eyes back in a cast bit-part
你在聚光灯下看到的华丽标志
Back when I felt most free
不过是我眼里一件衬衫的设计
I had a butcher’s heart and no one thought they knew me
我不是你的救世主 你也不是我的朋友
So before the regiment resumes
你并不是我的朋友
Before the dreaded sun appears
你并不是我的朋友
My driver’s waiting so let’s make one point crystal clear:
我不是你的救世主 你也不是我的朋友
You see a flood-lit form
你在聚光灯下看到的华丽标志
I see a shirt design
不过是我眼里一件衬衫的设计
I’m no savior of yours and you’re no friend of mine
我不是你的救世主 你也不是我的朋友
You’re no friend of mine
我在人们眼里看到我自己的倒影
You’re no friend of mine
意识到他们眼里的我根本不是我自己
I’m no savior of yours and you’re no friend of mine
我恨自己竟因此更加畏惧
You see a flood-lit form
我觉得他们应该听过这个故事：
I see a shirt design
河上浮着一只熊 我以为那是皮衣
I’m no savior of yours and you’re no friend of mine
12年前我站在河边（12年前hayley创建了paramore乐队）
跳进河里去抓那件皮衣
[Talking]
河水遄流奔向远方瀑布
我的朋友站在河边 大喊着让我放开皮衣回到岸上
I see myself in the reflection of people’s eyes
我松开了拽紧皮衣的手 那皮衣却不让我走
Realising what they see may not be even close to the image I see in myself
如果我还能给你些什么 请让我知道
And I hate I might actually be more afraid
如果什么都给不了你了 就请将我们的感激铭记于心吧
[…] I feel like they know the story
I saw a bear floating in the river and thought it was a fur coat
Twelve years ago I stood on the shore
Jump in and grab the coat
And the river is rushing toward a waterfall
And my friend stood at the shore and shouted to let go of the coat and swim back to land
I let go of the coat but the coat won’t let go of me
In any case please let me know if there’s more I can give you
If nothing comes of it, then just know we are grateful
