歌词
I remember looking around a hospital waiting room
我记得在医院的候诊室环顾
Full of people all absorbed in their own personal catastrophes
到处都是沉溺在各自不幸中的人们
All reading books like Being Mortal all with a look in their eyes
他们都翻阅着像《最后的告别》这样的书,在他们眼里流露出相同的神情
And I remember still feeling like no no one can understand
我也还记得一种感觉,感到自己无人理解
No my devastation is unique
不是我的不幸与众不同
But people get cancer and die
只是有人得癌死了
People get hit by trucks and die
有人被车撞死了
People just living their lives
人们只是过着他们的日子
Get erased for no reason
无故消失
With the rest of us watching from the side
留下活着的我们只能旁观
And some people have to survive
还有人为生活挣扎
And find a way to feel lucky to still be alive
想方设法去寻找生活的幸福感
To sleep through the night
去熬过漫漫长夜
I wrote down all the details of how my house fell apart
我毫无保留地记录下我家园的毁灭
How the person I loved got killed by a bad disease
记下我所爱之人因病离开
Out of nowhere for no reason and me living in the blast zone
后知后觉我竟已身处废墟
With our daughter and etcetera
身边只有我的女儿和一些身外之物
I made these songs
我写下这写歌
And the next thing I knew I was standing in the dirt
发现我竟已身处泥潭
Under the desert sky at night outside phoenix
在凤凰城外沙漠的天空下
At a music festival that had paid to fly me in
在需要付费才能让我进入的音乐节
To play death songs to a bunch of young people on drugs
为磕嗨的年轻人们演奏着死亡的歌曲
Standing in the dust next to an idling bus
站在还没熄火的巴士旁扬起的沙尘中
With Skrillex inside and the sound of subwoofers in the distance
远处传来Skrillex和低重音音响
I had stayed up 'til three
但我得留到3点
Talking to Weyes Blood and Father John Misty
在后台的小屋与Weyes Blood 和 Father John Misty谈论着
About songwriting in the backstage bungalows
词曲创作
Eating fruit and jumping on the bed like lost children
像玩脱的孩子啃着水果在窗上蹦蹦跳跳
Exploding across the earth in a self-indulgent all consuming
无忧无虑地在世界探险
Wreck of ideas that blot out the stars
大胆想象着星辰的毁灭
To be still alive felt so absurd
还能活着可真好
People get cancer and die
只是有人得癌死了
People get hit by trucks and die
有人被车撞死了
People just living their lives get erased for no reason
人们只是无常地从他们的生活中被带走
With the rest of us averting our eyes
剩下活着的我们和我们闪躲的目光
When I was leaning on Skrillex's tour bus waiting
午夜我斜靠着Skrillex的巡演巴士
For the hotel shuttle in the middle of the night
等待着酒店接送大巴
I barely knew who I was
我仅能意识到自己
I looked up and saw Orion wielding a club and a shield
抬头看到手持棒槌的猎户座和夜店以及建筑顶棚
And there you were again
随后你又出现了
Majestic dead wife
我过世的端庄妻子
As my grief becomes calcified frozen in stories
而我的悲伤凝固在了故事里
And in these songs I keep singing numbing it down
不停地哼着这首歌来将它平静
The unsinkable real memories of you
那些关于你的不灭回忆
And the feral eruptions of sobbing
那些肆意爆发的啜泣
These waves hit less frequently
那潮涌渐渐归于平静
They thin and then they are gone
变弱后随之消失
You are gone and then your echo is gone
就像你离开了,关于你的一切也将消逝
And then the crying is gone
最后连泪也干了
And what is left but this merchandise
只剩下这些遗物
This is what my life feels like now
成了我妻子如今的模样
Like I got abruptly dropped off by the side of the road
就像在漫长无望的旅途上
In the middle of a long horrible ride
在塞满喋喋不求吹嘘自己的人群的闷热的卡车里
In a hot van that was too full of confident chattering dudes
突然被司机扔在了路边
And the sound of tires receding
剩下疲惫渐远的声响
Taking in the night air I say
夜里我长抒一口气说
Now only
只剩当下
