Experience - Gentle Giant

Once I was a boy an innocent to life and my role in it
我曾是个男孩，对生活和自己的角色一无所知
This world played my game and anyone a clown or foil for myself
世界玩弄于我鼓掌，世人皆是配角与替罪羊
The harmless affairs and no one seemed to care for any meaning
那些无关紧要的事，似乎没人关心其意义
My life was my own The debt I paid I paid it only to myself
我的生命我做主，我偿还的债务只对自己负责
The unseeing youth how can it be so shallow and short sighted
那些盲目无知的年轻人，怎会如此肤浅短视
These years passed me by to realize the folly of these unripe years
岁月匆匆流逝，我才明白那些年少轻狂的可笑
Now I am a man I realize
如今我是个男子汉我意识到
My unworldly sins pained many lives
我超凡脱俗的罪行，折磨了太多生命
Yet I heard heard with ears that wouldn't listen
然而我听到的都是充耳不闻的声音
And still I watched and I saw with blinkered eyes
然而我仍旧用狭隘的视角观察世界
But with age the conscience slowly dawns and bonds of duty gently tied
但随着年龄的增长良知慢慢觉醒责任的束缚慢慢被束缚
All my sins seen through now there is experience and recollecting act in virgin guise
我的罪孽都已被识破如今我的经历和回忆都披上了纯洁的伪装
Master inner voices making the choices
掌控内心，主导选择
Once I could rebel and consequences then had no reflection
曾经我可以叛逆可我不会反思后果
And I am a man And I am bound by adult age discretion now
我是个男人我已经成年必须谨慎行事
