These days are dark and the nights are cold
在些黑暗时光的寒夜里
People acting like they lost their soul
人们表现得失魂落魄般
And everywhere I go I see another person like me
Trying to make it all feel like home
所经每处总看见和我一样想得到自在的人
[Mike:]
歌手Mike:
Standing on the bridge in the dark and I'm seeing my breath
黑夜桥上伫立,我凝视自己吞吐的云雾
Trying to make it home without freezing to death
想在不被冻死的前提下得到自在
And my grandfather's face is
stuck in my mind and how
Seeing him tonight's gonna be the last time
而占据我脑海,最后一次相见的,是我祖父的脸庞
I should've brought a jacket
想著:早知道我就随身带著外套
Blowing in my hands like it's really gonna stop the chill
朝双手呵气,即便这麼做也依然觉得寒冷刺骨
I buy a cup of coffee with a five dollar bill
我用五元钞票买了杯咖啡
thinking
Laying in that box people look so still
想著,那些躺在纸箱里的人们看起来那麼平静且僵硬
At times like these you start thinking
Your first breath in and the clock starts ticking
记忆就像时钟倒转,这种时候人们总会开始想著自己第一次哈水烟时的体验
I'm not trying to bum anyone out
我不是要让每个人都对我失去希望
Not trying to be dramatic
也并非试著让自己戏剧化
just thinking out loud
只是妄恣让思绪奔腾一下
I'm just trying to make some sense in my mind
我只是尝试著思考,以理出头绪
Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside and for a minute
并且让我抵抗外头的切身寒冷之感,
Escape with some rhythm and rhyme and
Get away from the grey
Just a bit at a time
只要一下子就好,让我有时间相伴韵律和韵脚,逃离那灰暗人生
[Ryu:]
歌手Ryu:
Kinda funny how this world can treat you
Like a freak in a sideshow
a carnival creature
这世界如何地将你当成马戏团小丑或狂欢节时的怪异生物对待,其实说来有些可笑
Climbing outta cans
试著破土而出,
I'm a diamond in the sand
我像沙坑中的钻石,
But you cant tell the difference on a beach full of rhinestones
可人们却无法从满布假钻的沙滩上发现我这颗真钻的别致
My life's like trying to swallow a pinecone
因此我的人生就像松球般难以吞食
It's tough when you live fast
just to die slow
当忙碌度日却只是为了慢性死去,真的很令人难受
Talk to dial tones
我求救的拨号总是等到嘟嘟声回应上头
my dreams are far-fetched
It seems
so I sleep underneath this park bench
所有的梦想似乎都遥不可及,不然,我又怎会睡上这张公园的长板凳
I know it don't make sense
And I don't expect for you to know what it's like
我知道这听起来很无俚头,而我也不期待你会了解这是怎麼一种感受
Smoke
drink
piss
sniffing everything in my sight
举目所见的任何东西我都要狂抽,狂喝,狂吸,或对它撒尿
Push rocks in a pipe
Liftoff
把那些哈草要用的家伙都放进管中,点燃,
I keep puffin 'til my lips turn white
我吸著吸著,直到嘴唇发白,
And my chest gets tight
胸腔也跟著感到紧绷
But who the fuck really cares
when you're
So far left behind that even death looks right
但就算你看起来快挂点了,也不会有人鸟你,反正你本来就一副准备离开人世的德性
All I can do is hope for the best and pray
That it gets a little better than yesterday
除了保持乐观与祈祷明天会更好外,我又能做些什麼?
These days are dark and the nights are cold
在些黑暗时光的寒夜里
People acting like they lost their soul
人们表现得失魂落魄般
And everywhere I go I see another person like me
Trying to make it all feel like home
所经每处总看见和我一样想得到自在的人
[Tak:]
歌手Tak:
Pardon me
I think I'm next to url
Yo,嘿,不好意思喔,我是个搞网路业的
Too many problems going on
that's why i left my girl
太多麻烦鸟事发生,所以我才和女友分手了
Packed my bags and traveled with a pen and a notepad
打包好背包,只有笔和笔记本陪我旅行
Pissed that i was broke and all the things that I dont have
对我所不能拥有的东西与我已破产的事实感到愤怒不已
But still
I trying to find a way to escape
From all the hate planted in my head which lead to mistakes
但我也了解这些深植脑中的恨意正是导致我失败的原因,因此我还是决定逃离这些恨
But now I'm breaking the mold
现在的我决定打破窠臼
see I was patient and calm
你知道吧?我一直都是个有耐心与稳健的人
Many sleep in the rain
but I'm awake in the storm
大家睡於安乐,我则醒於忧患
Writing my life in a short film
The Rise and Fall
我的人生就像一部名为"兴衰史"的短片
How I managed to scorch hills
and climb the walls
Pound pavement
aimless in the cold existence
如何叱吒风云,又攀高走低,到最后的没有目标且被冷眼鄙视
Even though thangs are changing
I'm going the distance
虽仍认为事有转机,我还是想绕远路逃离
Overcoming the doubt that had controlled for so long
And put it all behind me
'cause life still goes on
最终我克服了长期困扰我的,想逃避的心理,并将它远远抛在脑后
因为,我仍需要勇敢地去面对人生
Now I'm much stronger and know where I stand
While lost souls search over and over again
现在我明白了,自己正在做的事,自己所处的地点
而那些迷失的灵魂仍在不断重复著搜索枯肠呢
[Mike:]
These days are dark and the nights are cold
在些黑暗时光的寒夜里
People acting like they lost their soul
人们表现得失魂落魄般
And everybody's trying not to cry
每位无不是强忍著泪,
trying to get by
无不是刻苦克难,
And trying not to feel out of control
无不是想保持著自己的理智,不想失控
And if you look hard enough
所以,若你仔细找寻,
Sometimes you'll find a place that might just remind you of home
有时就能找到能得到自在的位置
But if it doesn't feel like home
万一这麼做也不会感到比较自在,
You can do what I do
你可以试试我的做法,
Just pretend you don't feel so alone
假装你现在一点都不孤单,不就成了?
