歌词与中文翻译

Placed behind door number 3
在三号门后
I lay (shaking) will he pick me?
我蜷缩着(颤抖着) 他会选我吗?
Don't be alarmed or misinterpret
不必惊慌也不必误解
For it's his anonymity that put me here
是他的隐秘让我存在于这里的
I should decide whether it's the dopamine
我该判断到底是因为多巴胺
Or someone hitting "refresh" on my spine-al Cord is aching as if the earth
还是因为有人在我的脊髓上点击“刷新”,好像地面在颤抖似的
Like me's, been shaking, shaken up.
跟我一样,颤抖着。
Door number 3 has opened up
三号门打开了
And like that the world pounces on the knobs of one and two
就这样,世界按下了关闭一号和二号门的旋钮
"If we can't have it all, then why have anything at all?"
“如果我们不能拥有一切,那为什么还要拥有一切呢?”
They chant,
他们高唱着,
Their song sending shivers up and down,
他们的歌声让我浑身颤抖
Around my spinal cord is aching as if
我的脊髓疼起来了
The earth like me's been shaking, shaken up
感觉就像地面也在颤抖着,跟我一样
And out into the place we know will give the verdict:
我们知道在这个地方会做出判决
Them finding that there's something in the water.
他们发现水里有什么东西
But I can't seem to put my glass down
但我还是不能放下我的杯子
Maybe because soon I'll be inside
也许是因为我很快也要掉进去了吧
Drowning in its confines
溺死在这片幽闭里
Pounding on the glass like I were five.
像我五岁时那样猛拍着杯子
I can't remember what it was I felt
我记不得那是什么感觉了
Or heard, or saw, or touched after hearing the word "hello".
在一声“hello”之后,可能是听到,可能看到,也可能是触碰到
Dancing figures, intimate, I know
跳舞的影子,很亲密的样子,我知道的
But there was more involved that made me
但还有更多的事情让我
Believe that there were two of them and only one of me.
相信他们是两个人,而我是孤单一人。
It gets harder to see them as the water rises.
随着水位上升,我越来越难看到他们了
As I criticize it, it's his eye
这时,他的眼睛突然出现了
It fills the glass
填满了整个杯子
It's all that I could ask for he is drowning in the same room as me
我唯一能要求的就是他和我在同一间屋子里溺死
And it's the very thing that makes me believe that there are two of him and only one of me.
也正是这件事让我相信,有两个他而只有一个我
Let me drown amidst my ignorance as if I were asleep
让我溺死在自己的无知中吧,就像是睡着了一样
