"The Last Firstborn" by Celldweller
Album: Celldweller (2003)
一位觀眾私訊這首歌,於是我就來翻翻看
根據(照抄)維基百科,Celldweller是一位多重身分的音樂家Klayton(他有各式各樣的音樂專案,很多"一人團")所製作的一個電子搖滾專案(electronic rock project),它融合了像是工業、dubstep、Trance等等的樂風,挾帶具侵略性的搖滾/金屬元素。因為本人對於這類型的音樂也沒有太深的了解,故先介紹到這裡(多說多錯)。
lyrics:
To be strung up on a leafless tree
被懸掛在光禿的大樹上
Where everything dies and nothing grows
萬物蕭條、毫無生機
Hanging like moulding fruit
掛在那邊像塑膠裝飾水果
One last dance whilst you decompose
持續掙扎直到心臟停止跳動
On come the Paddington spectacles
被覆蓋上黑色面紗
A black plague over all I admired
眼前盡是黑色的瘟疫
A vegetable breakfast, a hearty choke
粗飽的絞刑,酷烈的窒息
Seems like the whole world conspired
一切就像整個世界的大陰謀
But there stood a man
但這個男人*
He was cut up, distraught and cold
他充滿擔憂、心煩意亂卻很冷靜
But amongst the wreckage of his ribcage
但在他遺骸的肋骨之間
His heart still thudded as he said
他的心臟仍大力跳動並說:
"
I regard myself as a soldier
我把自己當作一名戰士
Though a soldier of peace
為了和平奮鬥的戰士
I know the value of discipline and truth
我深知自律和真相的價值
I must ask you to believe me when I say...
我必須在此請求你相信,我說......
"
No matter if it all backfires kid
就算一切都事與願違
No matter if it all goes wrong
就算這個世界走了樣
We just gotta get ourselves together
我們還是要團結在一起
We've sat still for far too long
一直坐在這直到天荒地老
Now this ain't over yet
現在還沒結束呢
As far as I can see...
根據我的觀察......
WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN!
我們才正要開始!!
