歌词
Rachael Yamagata - Elephants
大象
如果大象已经死亡
但是注定会被铭记
不足为奇为什么它们会那么大声哀嚎
If the elephants have past lives
就像你我一样，他们也一定会有脾气
Yet are destined to always remember
我梦到它们在平原上
It's no wonder how they scream
弄脏了他们的床
Like you and I, they must have some temper
期盼着下雨的迹象
让炎热的头降降温
And I am dreaming of them in the plains
你怎么敢送我那张明信片
Dirtying up their beds
当我拼尽全力去忘记
Watching for some sign of rain
你又强迫我让我想起
To cool their hot heads
当我只是想忘了你的时候
如果老虎要保护它的幼崽
And how dare that you send me that card
那么，告诉我，你怎么逃脱？
When I'm doing all that I can do
哦我的直觉已经让我失败一次
You are forcing me to remember
我都不知道整个晚上自己是怎么入睡的
When all I want is to just forget you
我梦到老虎们在杀戮
把猎物撕的粉碎
If the tiger shall protect her young
血从他们的嘴里流出来
Then, tell me, how did you slip by?
牙齿嵌入猎物的心脏
Oh my instincts have failed me for once
你怎么敢保证你会打给我
I must have somehow slept the whole night
当你知道我需要心安的时候
如果你一定要守护动物
And I am dreaming of them with their kill
为什么你不跟一个善解人意的人在一起呢？
Tearing it all apart
如果树上的老鹰要吃腐肉
Blood dripping from their lips
如果你还活着但是你没有希望了
Teeth sinking into heart
曾经，尽管同床共渡
这场舞蹈只有两个结局
And how dare that you say you will call
你能带着你的伤及时逃跑
When you know I need some peace of mind
或者躺在那里等待被吃
If you had to take sides with the animals
眼睁睁看着自己被撕碎
Won't you do it with one who is kind?
一边血流不止，一边大笑释怀
所以，那些你深深爱着的动物
If the hawks in the trees need the dead
你可以认为他们善良、美好、无害
If you're living you don't stand a chance
把自己置于危险中
For a time, though you share the same bed
但请在夜晚保持警惕
There are only two ends to this dance
You can flee with your wounds just in time
Or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds
Laughing as you bleed
So, for those of you falling in love
Keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger
But keep one eye open at night
