歌词与中文翻译
Son you'll have to grow thicker skin, before you turn amphibian
孩子,在你变成两栖动物之前,你得先厚一层皮
Then you'll have to grow some gills
还得长出一些鳃
But if you want to breathe oxygen,
但如果你想呼吸氧气
You are going to have to live on land
你就得活在陆地上
And maybe I am surprised you don't
或许我惊讶于你没有
嘿,神经质的小猫咪
Hey cat with nervous eyes,
也许你不能决定怎样减少年岁,活得更久
Maybe you can't decide how to lose you eighth and last
命运或不同,泪却共生
Born in different gears with symbiotic tears
也许就是你的选择
Maybe that's the kind you chose
我习惯了太阳不再升起
在跳入浅滩之前给了我喘息的机会
Well I'm used to seeing the sun not rise
我在雨水浸湿的岩石上露面
It gave me pause before a shallow dive
我是个天才,血液不会停止流动
Though I surfaced on the rain soaked rocks
现在由于深深的内疚
I'm a genius when the blood won't stop
也由于我还静躺在这里
And now because of crushing guilt
你不相信社会复苏
And now because I'm lying still
或于此而屈服
You don't believe in social resurgence
这个我认识的女孩
Or giving in to giving in
她用琴弦
自挂树右枝
This girl I knew from fire,
枝条弯曲下垂
She'd gotten some piano wire
而她的双足未曾再着地
Hung herself from a right tree branch
直到她入殓时双腿被平放
This stick it bent right down,
她的自杀
But her feet never hit the ground
或许你可以告诉我为什么生活就是意外
Until her legs were laid to rest
没有一件事是不可能去阻止的,即使你看不到希望
Her orphan suicide,
忧郁牵引着她
Maybe you can tell me why living is the accident
问问她的想法,比较一下我们和地衣的生长
And no single event is impossible to prevent when the odds are not your ken
已经过去了二十年
我们从头至脚都覆盖了
Hey blue head her off,
喜林芋终于开出了花
And ask her for her thoughts comparing us to lichen growth
你的照片在我房间里老橡树架子上放着
It's taken twenty years,
某天我会需要每颗花种去完成我的集体生长
We're covered ear to ear beginning on the head to toe
我习惯了太阳不再升起
And philodendron bloom,
在我跳入浅滩前给了我喘息的机会
Your pictures in my room balanced on an old pine shelf
我在雨后湿润的岩石上露面
Someday I will need every flower seed to complete my collective growth
我是个天才,血液不会停止流动
现在由于深深的内疚
Well I'm used to seeing the sun not rise
也由于我还静躺在这里
It gave me pause before a shallow dive
你不相信生活还会好起来的
Though I surfaced on the rain soaked rocks
或就此而屈服
I'm a genius when the blood won't stop
And now because of crushing guilt
And now because I'm lying still
You don't believe in social resurgence
Or giving in to giving in
