歌词
A person who thinks all the time
一个一直思考的人
Has nothing to think about except thoughts
除了思想,想不到别的
So, he loses touch with reality
于是他失去了和现实的联系
And lives in a world of illusions
活在幻想之中
By thoughts I mean specifically, chatter in the skull
我所说的思想,尤指在脑海中挥之不去的想法
Perpetual and compulsive repetition of words
永久而强硬地重复着的
Of reckoning and calculating
计算和算计
I'm not saying that thinking is bad
我并不是说思考不好
Like everything else, It's useful in moderation
像所有其他事物一样,适度的思考是很有用的
A good servant, but a bad master
一个好的仆人却是一个坏的主人
And all so called civilized peoples
所有被称为文明的民族
Have increasingly become crazy and self destructive
变得越来越疯狂并自我毁灭
Because, through excessive thinking
因为由于过度的思考
The have lost touch with reality
他们失去了和现实的联系
That's to say
也就是说
We confuse signs
我们混淆了符号
With the real world
和现实世界
这是深思的开始
This is the beginning of meditation
我们大多数人
宁愿拥有金钱也不愿拥有实实在在的财富
Most of us would have
而一个伟大的时刻若非被相机记录则形同无物
Rather money than tangible wealth
第二天我们从报纸上读到这件事
And a great occasion is somehow spoiled for us unless photographed
觉得它比原始事件多了些古怪的乐趣
And to read about it the next day in the newspaper
这是一场灾难
Is oddly more fun for us than the original event
因为它混淆了真实的自然世界与单纯的符号
This is a disaster
我们正在破坏自然
For as a result of confusing the real world of nature with mere signs
被束缚在自己的思想里,失去了理智
We are destroying nature
是时候清醒了
We are so tied up in our minds that we've lost our senses
什么是现实?
Time to wake up
显然没有人能够讲清楚
What is reality?
因为它不是语言
Obviously no one can say
也不是实质性的,那只是一个想法
Because it isn't words
现实是
It isn't material, that's just an idea
无法用语言来解释的
我不是想贬低你们
Reality is
这是一种你们之所以是你们的表述
人必须生存
The point cannot be explained in words
我们需要生存并延续
我们必须延续
I'm not trying to put you down
It's an expression of you as you are
One must live
We need to survive, to go on
We must go on
