歌词
[Hook - Mike Slap:]
昨夜,星空变成紫色
Last night the sky's turned purple and
过去的生活消散在时光隧道里
时光隧道
Past lives in light tunnels
在一辆林肯汽车后面,我穿着燕尾服,双眼凝视着自己
Light tunnels
汽车穿越人群
警察封锁路线,我们被挡在橘色交通锥后面
[Verse 1 - Macklemore:]
二十分钟之后,我的经纪人把我叫醒
In the back of a town car, staring at myself in a tux
车库保安出现在入口
Maneuvering through the people out front
他摇下车窗,请我们展示通行证给他看
Police barricade, orange cones and we're stuck
特里尔亮出了她的证件,我们得以继续前进
Twenty minutes late and my manager blowing me up
金属探测器,公用电话亭,还有接收器
我应该朝九晚五地感谢
Security guard in the garage at the entrance
我走进绿色的屋子,好吧,好吧
Rolled down the window and showed him our credentials
我登上视频网站,努力学习怎么系我的领带
Turrell flash the pass and he let's us continue
他妈的!我今晚将会带着大刀,就在今夜!就在今晚!
Metal detectors, phone booths and reception
或许我本不该吸毒,但我却这样做了
I should be grateful this my nine to five
几天以前,在戒毒的蠢货
I walk into the green room, alright, alright
我把皮带忘在宾馆
I get on Youtube tryna learn how to tie on my tie
他妈的,现在我的团队都叫嚷着寻求帮助,这可糟糕透了
Fuck it, I'll wear the bolo tonight, night, night
我需要去做点什么,而不是什么都不做
I probably shouldn't have done the drugs I've done
我要吃一条香蕉,我要喝一瓶润喉茶
A couple of days ago, detox son
我希望有个兄弟,但是我没有
I forgot my belt at the hotel
我知道的艺术家大部分没有被邀请来这场表演
Fuck, now my team all scrambling to help, this sucks
因为把成功献给他们决定了我们的价值
I need something to cope, ain't nothing to cope
化妆,粉底,发胶,香水,化妆和粉底
I eat a banana and I drink a cup of throat coat
这些评价归根结底在于谁在当今的流行乐坛中更受欢迎
I wish I had the homies with me here but nope
有人敲门,我让他们进来,处理头发还有化妆,十点走红毯
Most of the artists that I know don't get invited to this show
她盖住我的雀斑,用遮瑕膏涂抹我的下巴
Because success to them determines our value
我看起来肤色黯淡,她发誓在我的皮肤上它看起来很自然
The make-up, the power, hairspray, perfume, make-up and powder
典礼开始,他们带我去我的座位上
The ratings come down to who's popular now in the song in the hour
走进舞台,觉得万众瞩目
Knock at the door, I let them in, hair and make up now, red carpet in ten
就像所有人都在注视着我
She covers up my freckles, concealer on my chin
隔着泰勒一排,和jay—z还有碧昂斯相隔两排
I look orange but she swears it looks natural with my skin
昨夜,星空化为紫色
The show is starting, they take me to my seat
过往的生命消散在时光隧道里
Walk in the arena building, ego of elites
时光隧道
Like the whole industry is staring at me
我们究竟是谁
A row away from Taylor, two away from Jay and B
就像那些星星
[Hook - Mike Slap:]
闪耀你的光芒
Last night the sky's turned purple and
闪耀你的光芒
Past lives in light tunnels
幕帘打开,主持人走了出去
Light tunnels
我们大声齐唱,观众不断喝彩
So that's who we are
我看了一会儿四周的人
Just like the stars
如同我被邀请时一样兴奋,在人群中觉得酷毙了
Shine your light on
想象得如此这般英勇,眼看着如此这般珍贵
Shine your light on
可恶,如此真实的生活,看起来太他妈古老了
如此满足,她是如此的满足,哦!
[Verse 2 - Macklemore:]
我在这里,但我几乎没有看这场表演
因为今夜我们会因自己的成就而被赞誉
Curtain opens up, host walks out
不安被装扮成自信
We stand in unison and applaud real loud
我说今夜我们会因自己的成就而被赞誉
I watch the other people that have been around for a while
不安被装扮成自信
Just excited I got invited, feeling cool in the crowd
奖项是被商业化授予的,他们重新彩排了这个场景
Thinking such and such is bold, look at such and such's gold
他们不断地说,快来吧比伯
Damn, such and such in real life, looks really fuckin' old
看名人与名人拍照
Such and such is fine, she's with such and such, oh
这令人感到如此虚伪
I'm here but I'm barely even watching the show
他们想要绯闻,他们想要闹剧
Cause tonight we toast to our accomplishments
他们想要看布兰妮和麦当娜亲热
Insecurity dressed up as confidence
他们想要侃爷咆哮得更久,因为这意味着更多的钞票
I said tonight we toast to our accomplishments
他们想要讨论的话题,他们想要热点话题
Insecurity dressed up as confidence
他们想要奇装异服,他们想要斜眼相向
An award is given out, commercial, re-set the scene
抱怨和矛盾,他们想要看见乳头露点
They keep saying "coming up soon is the Biebs"
因为他们为了素材,这是钱
Watch celebrities take selfies with celebrities
所以我们消除皮肤的皱纹,在相机前微笑
It feels so make believe
可能我们还会去做个新鼻子
这是属于美国的不安的我们的质地
They want the gossip, they want the drama
我们穿上它,称之为流行
They want Britney Spears to make out with Madonna
我看向我的右边,有个照相师正在拍照
They want Kanye to rant and to go on longer, cause that equates to more dollars
一张接着一张,一模一样
They want talking topics, they want trending topics
卡戴珊的曲线,是如此地令人心烦意乱
They want outfits to be outlandish, they want sideways glances
意识到一阵喝彩,每个人都在鼓掌
Beef and problems, they want nipple slips
昨夜星空变成紫色
Cause they live for clips, this is economics
过往的生活消散在时光隧道里
So we Botox our skin and we smile for the camera
时光隧道
Might as well get a new nose while we're at it
我们究竟是谁
This is America insecurity's our fabric
就像星星
And we wear it and we renamed it fashion
闪耀你的光芒
I look to my right, there's a cameraman snapping
闪耀你的光芒
Picture after picture after sister after sister
当相机对着你,他是如此地不自然
Of the line of Kardashians, mind so distracted
如果我迷失了一定要记得继续鼓掌
Realized there's an ovation and everyone's clapping
我看到我自己上了大荧幕
[Hook - Mike Slap:]
在电视机上分裂成五个不同的艺术家
Last night the sky's turned purple and
我只是看起来自然,没有转化成基因般的存在
Past lives in light tunnels
放松,呼吸
Light tunnels
奖项继续:迈克勒莫与瑞安·刘易斯
So that's who we are
Just like the stars
有个陌生人举起我的奖杯
Shine your light on
我给她一个笨拙的拥抱,她说:“这是属于你的”
Shine your light on
我觉得我应该吻一下她的脸颊
哥们,我本应该准备好一个获奖宣言
[Verse 3 - Macklemore:]
我第一个演讲吗?还是瑞安?是我?
It's just weird when the camera's on you
管他妈的,我会做第一个,握着麦克风,做我的演讲
Gotta remember to still clap if I lose
我看着一号摄影机?我看着三号摄影机?
I see myself up on the screen
我保证,我是诚实的,我想要去感谢上帝,我的妈妈还有爸爸
Split into five different artists on TV
我想要感谢崔西亚,我女儿的妈妈
And just look normal, don't get turned into a meme
没有你们在我身边我无论如何达不到现在的成就
Relax, breathe
特别是自始与我相随的粉丝
(And the award goes to: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis)
支持音乐,它允许我们独立起来
Me
我知道,我不应该喋喋不休
There's a stranger holding my award
等下,等等,不要放音乐,让我说完
I give her an awkward hug she says "It's yours"
这感觉如此令人陶醉,装得像个名人一样去隐瞒这只是个生意
Think I'm supposed to kiss her on the cheek
我,我,我,我的,我的想象,我的歌,我自己的兴趣
Man, I should have prepared an acceptance speech
一个巨大的现实表明那就是一个剧本
Do I talk first? Is it Ryan? Is it me?
而我不断地去尝试或者远离竞争
Fuck it, I'll take the lead, grab the mic, say my piece
我宁愿浪费掉十五分钟
Do I look at camera one? Do I look at camera three?
而不是使生命从我身边溜过我却忘记为什么而活
但那不意味着退休
I promise, I'm honored, I'd like to thank God, my momma and father
但我不喜欢我所处的环境
I'd like to thank Tricia, the mother of my daughter
我忘记我是为了什么做艺术家
I couldn't have done it without you all in my corner
我没有读完大一就辍学了,没能成为一个大二生
Especially the fans, been here since the beginning
我在舞台上,是的,我是恐惧的
Supported the music, allowed us to be independent
我得到了人们的关注,不想要失去它
And I know, I shouldn't be long-winded
考虑到我的职业生涯,相当地痛苦
Wait, hold up, don't play the music, let me finish
但是想要确保下一年我将会被邀请
去一样令人操蛋的舞会,名流和通道
This feels so narcissistic, dressed as a celebration to conceal it's a business
一样无神的眼光,一样虚伪的微笑
Me, me, me, my, my image, my, my songs, my self interest
一样大的经济预算
One big reality show that is scripted
当灯光暗淡,我知道我是谁
And I can keep trying or get off the competition
窗帘关闭,无人问津
I'd rather run out of my fifteen minutes
想要抛掉炒作,想要做一个平凡之人
Than have life past me by and I forget to live it
想成为带着新奥尔良口音的韦恩
But that doesn't mean retirement
想象着当典礼结束的时候我会变得更好
But I don't like who I am in this environment
但我猜我会晚点出席
I forgot what this art's for
他们要关门的时候我差点被关在门外
I didn't get through Freshman year to drop out as a Sophomore
恰好及时,我会说什么?
Here I am in this arena, yeah, I'm scared
是时候去解释我制造的混乱
I got the people's attention, don't wanna lose it here
哎呀,我猜我将会晚点出席
Thinking about my career, miserable here
他们要关门的时候我差点被关在门外
But wanna make sure I'm invited next year
恰好及时,我会说什么?
To the same damn party, celebrities and isle
是时候去解释我制造的混乱
Same blank stares, same fake smiles
Same big budget production
I know now who I am when the lights go out and it falls down
And the curtain closes, nobody notices
Wanted to throw up the Roc, wanted to be Hova
Wanted to be Wayne with the accent from the NOLA
Thought I'd feel better when the award show was over
But I guess I showed up late
Almost got cut off when they closed the gate
Just in time, what will I say?
Time to explain this unruly mess I've made
Ay, I guess I showed up late
Almost got cut off when they closed the gate
Just in time, what will I say?
Time to explain this unruly mess I've made
