歌词
I said, "I'm just a servant to my base desires"
我说:“我不过是我根源欲望的奴隶。”
She said, "I'll tell you a few things, free of charge:
她说:“不用报答我,我会告诉你一些事情。”
Steer clear of jagged rock, tread careful at the higher level
岩石硬朗突出的线条,我小心地走在上面
This ain't no game, but you can play if that's what you want"
这不是游戏,但是如果你愿意它便是如是一场
Then she said, "We are just paper boats bobbing adrift afloat
接着她说:“我们都不过是汪洋大海里漂泊的纸船,
While winds of fortune shove us where they will"
而命运的风会把我们吹向我们该去的地方。”
Woke up coughing on the shore, cold outcrop broken, sore
醒来站在岸边咳嗽,冷风吹着岸上石头,我的鼻子酸痛
Back on the mainland, the chimps were coming up trumps
回到陆地上,那些黑猩猩离我们近了(此处trump貌似讽刺特朗普)
And all I saw was burning blue fading into blinding white
而我只看见水那焚烧着的蓝渐变成耀眼夺目的白
Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water
双脚踏进破败的港口,肌肤感受水的冰凉
Son of a red roof city, and her, the full moon's daughter
我是红顶屋城的儿子,而她,是满月的女儿
And back on the mainland, back on the mainland
回到地上,回到陆地上
Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower
改变席卷着大地,黑云压城城欲摧
On golden sand
在金色的沙滩上
We stared into the haze, ocean merging with sky
我们望进远方的迷雾,海和天空融化在一起
And talked about the land of our fore-mothers
说着这块曾属于我们祖先的陆地
Now that we've shut the gate, it would be funny if it
现在我们已经关上了大门,如果你想哭
Didn't make you want to cry
这一切就会变得滑稽起来
This is just the bed we've woken up in
这便是我们每天醒来的那张床
And all I saw was burning blue fading into blinding white
而我只看见水那焚烧着的蓝渐变成耀眼夺目的白
Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water
双脚踏进破败的港口,肌肤感受水的冰凉
Son of a red roof city, and her, the full moon's daughter
我是红顶屋城的儿子,而她,是满月的女儿
And back on the mainland, back on the mainland
回到地上,回到陆地上
Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower
改变席卷着大地,黑云压城城欲摧
Green dreams were folding over, as we sailed off the mainland
在我们向家园出发之时,绿色的梦开始折叠起来
Never coming off the line
别从这线上脱离
Wake up feeling fine
醒来,一切都好
Her eyes under pale moonlight
苍白的月下她的双眼
Far corner of the earth
地球的另一端
Tripping up on the edge
在边界行走着
Big impossible now
一切都变得不可能起来
