So Says I(Album) - The Shins

So Says I - The Shins
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
An address to the golden door
向金色之门倾诉
I was strumming on a stone again
我又一次在石头上拨弄琴弦
Pulling teeth from the pimps of gore
从血腥的皮条客口中拔牙
When hatched a tragic opera in my mind
脑海中突然浮现一出悲剧歌剧
And it told of a new design in which every soul is duty bound
它讲述了一个新秩序 每个灵魂都被责任束缚
To uphold all the statutes of boredom
必须遵守所有无聊的教条
Therein lies the fatal flaw of the red age
这就是红色时代的致命缺陷
Because it was nothing like we'd ever dreamt
因为它与我们梦想的截然不同
Or lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated
对生活的热忱 随房租账单消逝殆尽
And becase it made no money
只因它无法带来分文
Nobody saved no one's life this time
这次 无人能救赎任何人
So we burned all our uniforms
于是我们焚尽所有制服
And let nature take it's course again
任自然法则重新主宰
And the big onese just eat all the little ones
强者肆意吞噬弱者
That sends us back to the drawing board
将我们打回原点
In my darkest hours
在我至暗时刻
We have all asked for some
我们都曾祈求过
Angel to come
天使降临
Sprinkle his dust all around
将希望洒满人间
But all our crying voices they can't turn it around
但所有哭泣都无法扭转局面
And you've had some crazy conversations of your own
你也曾有过疯狂的独白
We've got rules and maps and guns in our backs
规则束缚 枪抵后背
But we still can't just behave ourselves
却仍无法约束自己
Even if to save our own lives
哪怕是为了活命
So says I:
所以我这样说：
We are a brutal kind
我们是残忍的种族
'Cause this is nothing like we'd ever dreamt
因为这完全不像我们梦想的那样
Tell Sir Thomas More we've got another failed attempt
告诉托马斯·莫尔我们又失败了
'Cause if it makes them money
因为只要能赚钱
They might just give you life this time
这次他们或许会饶你一命
