歌词
Have you ever wondered,
你有没有想过,
well, I have, about how when I say,
好吧,我有,当我说
say "red", for example,
比如说“红”
there's no way of knowing
没办法知道
if "red" means the same thing in your head,
你脑中的“红”
as "red" means in my head,
跟我脑中的“红”是不是同一个东西,
when someone says "red".

And how if we are traveling at almost the speed of light,
如果我们以接近光速的速度行进,
and were holding a light,
手里拿着一盏灯,
that light would still travel away from us
这灯光仍然会以光速
at the full speed of light?
离我们而去吗?
Which seems right in a way,
这似乎有些道理,
but I'm trying to say, I'm not sure,
但我想说,怎么说呢,
but I wonder if inside myhead
我想知道在我脑中,
I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends.
我是否跟我的朋友们有不止一点点的区别。
These answers that come into my mind unbidden,
这些答案不由自主地浮现在我脑海中,
these stories delivered to me fully written.
这些故事被完整地传达给我。
And when everyone shouts

like they seem to like shouting,
仿佛他们很喜欢咆哮,
the noise in my head is incredibly loud.
那些噪音震耳欲聋。
Well, I just wish they'd stop,
我只希望他们能停止,
my dad and my mum.
我的爸爸和妈妈。
And the telly and stories
还有电视和故事,
would stop for just once.
哪怕停止一次也好。
I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right,
抱歉,我不知道怎么解释清楚,
but this noise becomes anger,
但这噪音已经变成一团怒火,
and the anger is light.
这怒火已被点燃
And this burning inside me
它在我心底燃烧
would usually fade,
通常会消逝,
but isn't today.
但今天不同。
And the heat and the shouting,
这样的激烈,这样的咆哮,
and my heart is pounding,
我的心脏狂跳不止,
and my eyes are burning,
我的双眼如遭火燎,
and suddenly everything,
接着突然间,
everything is quiet.
一切归于安静。
Like silence, but not really silent,
仿佛无声,但不是真的没有声音,
just that still sort of quiet,
就是像静止一般的安静,
like the sound of a page being turned in a book,
就像翻动一页书的声音,
or a pause in a walk in the woods.
或者森林中漫步的短暂驻足。
Quiet,
安静
like silence, but not really silent,
仿佛无声,但不是真的没有声音,
just that nice kind of quiet,

like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed,
就像你往床上躺去的声音,
just the sound of your heart in your head.
就像你听到自己心跳的声音。
And though the people around me,
哪怕人们在我身边,
their mouths are still moving,
他们仍然在说些什么,
the words they are forming
他们所说的话,
cannot reach me anymore.
再也不能打扰我。
And it is quiet,
这就是安静,
and I am warm,
使我感到温暖,
like I've sailed
就好像我曾
into the eye of the storm.
向着风眼航行。
