歌词
On the second floor of the new block in the flat with the yellow door
在新街区二楼的一幢有黄色大门的公寓里
Next to the boarded up independent record store
旁边紧挨着一家倒闭的独立唱片店
Bradley is awake
Bradley醒了
He's watching notches on his clock face
盯着钟盘上的刻痕发呆
Just lying there, thinking, limbs like fallen buildings
只是躺着,思索着,四肢仿佛倒下的建筑一般沉重
Feelin' like every day he's ever lived is out to kill him
感觉像他活着的每一天都是为了杀死他
Bradley's got a good job
Bradley有一份很好的工作
He works in PR
他是一名公关
He moved south a few months back
在几个月前他搬到了南方
Top whack flat, all mod cons, wall size windows
高档公寓,全现代化生活设施,整面墙的落地窗
He's a Manchester boy, done good in the big smoke

Young professional, single, Tinder, and flings

Life seems simpler than it's ever been

He's doing well, he's living the dream, and he's paying the mortgage off
他出类拔萃,过着人们梦寐以求的生活,并且付清了贷款
He doesn't know why he's not sleeping at nights
但不知为何他仍旧无法入睡
He could get up, try and walk it off
他可以起来,试着摆脱这些
But he's got to get to work in a matter of hours
但还有几个小时就要上班了
Is he awake or asleep?
他是醒了还是睡着的?
He can't tell, he can't dream, he can't feel, he can't scream
他自己也分辨不出,他无法做梦,也没有感觉,更不能叫喊
Man, it's 04:18
天,已经04:18了
And life's just a thing that he does
而生活就好像只是他的一个工作
He rolls over, cold pillow, warm body
冰冷的枕头,温暖的身体,他翻来覆去
At the end of his tether, as usual, he breathes softly
在崩溃的边缘,像平常一样,他轻轻地呼吸
He burrows down deep, and he closes his eyes
他沉浸下去,闭上眼睛
And he thinks, "Is this really what it means to be alive?"
他想着,“这就是活着的意义吗?”
The days go past like pictures on a screen

Most days I'm dazed, walkin' 'round, I'm workin', talkin', perkin' up

I'm standing apart, my heart's hard, I can't hardly be heard
