歌词
Today I looked up how long it would take to drown
沉溺到底需要多久
Today I looked up how long it would take to drown
我离死亡到底有多远
How long can you hold your breath before you can't hold your breath any longer
在不能屏住呼吸之前 你到底能坚持多久
And how long until your lungs give out and the sound that used to fill the void
你何时会停止运转 你又何时会销声匿迹
Quiets like a mass of midnight, searching for its piece of the pie
沉寂的死气如午夜弥撒 搜寻着他的猎物
Today I stood in front of a window and imagined what it would be like to fly, no I didn't
如今我站在窗前 思考着我逃离这一切的模样 或许不可能吧
I imagined what it would be like to jump outside the frame that caged me inside
幻想着我挣脱枷锁的情形
But my better judgment said it wouldn't be very kind if someone you cared about found you
我的理智告诉我 被在乎的人发现自己如此低沉并不是什么好事
That's the voice that plays like a tape on rewind, rewind, rewind...
似一卷磁带 在我的脑海中不断重放
It wouldn't be fair to a stranger either
这对任何人来说都不公平
Today I'm reminded of the time I watched a man jump into a highway when I was just seventeen
我回想起17岁那年 目睹了一位跳向高速的轻生者
The car lights on either side of the upper portion of the AutoRoute below standing at attention
来往车辆亮起的远灯
Staring off into the distance
仿佛凝视着远方
Just waiting for the road to clear
但他们只是在等待道路的通畅
And the way to the comfort of their loved ones to be made
以及何时才能回到家安抚所爱之人
Death is a strange and hollow inconvenience when you think about it
死亡是奇怪的 当你想到它 仿佛只是空洞的折磨
There's a blank face that quickly and abruptly finds its way to all the witness something of that magnitude
那一幕使我明白 死亡 能使鲜活的生命刹那就变成面无表情的脸庞
It's not empathy, it's not sympathy
我并没有同情之心
It's more of a force intrinsic and integral self reflection
因为在他身上 我好像看到了我自己
Why would someone do such a thing?
但为什么有人真的那样去做呢
What could drive someone to that type of depth?
是什么驱使着他为死亡付诸行动呢
Could I be driven to such depths?
是否有一天 我也会被逼如此
Would I ever be able to jump?
我敢于跳出那一步吗
There is no place to be soft in these moments, jump
身边已经没有温柔使我留恋了 跳吧
There's no time to caught in this moment, jump
也没有愉悦的时间值得我去沉醉了 跳吧
There's no need to believe there ever was a moment, jump
再也没有必要相信 这世上有美妙的时刻了 请离开吧
Sigh, believe, relief in this moment
叹气吧 坚信吧 就在此刻 请解脱吧
Cause I could never be the one to be in this moment
因为我从来不是一个活在当下的人
Or could I? jump
不然我..会这样选择吗?
Today I looked up how long it would take to drown
此时此刻 我再次扪心自问 沉溺到底需要多久
Do you first hold your breath?
你是否曾真正尽力的屏住呼吸
Do you exhale all of your problems and worries before casting your thoughts to the bottom
你是否曾向别人倾诉困扰与担忧
Of an otherwise empty place below the poverty line of depressed thoughts
把烦恼抛在空荡荡的地方
And the sad calamity of a hunted house you've called home?
抛在你那些许不幸的家庭
I don't know
我不知道
Maybe someone out there has an answer...
或许你已经有答案了
But for now I'm still trying to come to terms of the fact
但如今我依然在努力的接受现实
That today I looked up how long it would take to drown
沉溺与否 就请扪心自问吧
