歌词
When I need space that's where I go
当我需要边界感之时,我总会想起那片寂静之地
A place to escape that nobody knows
那是个无人知晓的避难所
Where I feel free to let things go
在那里,我可以尽情挥洒心中埋藏的惆怅
And face this evil that burdens my soul
并鼓起勇气直面那些束缚灵魂的阴霾
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
我背负着满腔仇怨,重新梳理心中那难言的苦楚
All the emotions I cannot explain
以及我无法通过只言片语所能表达的复杂情感
It's where I found God
正是在那片净土,我邂逅到了上帝
And filled that whole
填补那愈发撕裂的空虚
It's he, myself and I
世间寂寥,唯有上帝和我
On that lonely dirt road
在那条孤寂的泥泞小路上与沉寂相伴
I needed somewhere to take my mistakes
我亟需一处能够暂时搁置我所犯下错误的地方
I didn't want my family to see me cry
我并不愿意让亲人们目睹我潸然泪下,展示脆弱的一面
They'll never know I'm
他/她们永远不会知晓
Carrying all of this weight
养家糊口所需承载的重量
Dealing with the pressure
我独自应对着
Of trying to provide
情感忽视下却依旧付出的苦闷
No sign of struggle can show on my face
却不能在脸上露出一丝困顿与无力
They ask if I'm OK I just flash them a smile
他/她们询问我一切是否安好,我总是报以会心一笑
Fire up that engine to take me away
然后启动引擎,驱车远离这一切
I'm speeding through emotions with every mile
我的思绪随着加速行驶过的每一里路而扬尘而去
On that road is where I find my peace
正是在那条路上,我寻找到了属于我的片刻安宁
I remember daddy told me about some times like these
我回想起父亲曾经的告诫,人生总有这样的时刻
On that road is where my minds at ease
正是在那条路上,我心中的忧虑渐渐散去
I keep driving life away, rejecting change
我继续在逃避中虚耗人生,拒绝随波逐流所带来的变化
So
故此
When I need space that's where I go
当我需要喘息之时,我总会逃到那片孤寂之地
A place to escape that nobody knows
那是个鲜为人知的避世之境
Where I feel free to let things go
在那里,我可以将一切烦恼抛掷脑后
And face this evil that burdens my soul
并抬起头直面那些盘踞在灵魂上的恶魂
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
我背负着犬儒浸染下的愤世嫉俗,揣着鲜血如注的伤痛
All the emotions I cannot explain
以及我所有因难以启齿而糜烂腐朽的情感
It's where I found God
正是在那片净土,我邂逅到了上帝
And filled that whole
填补了那无人过问的空洞
It's he, myself and I
纷扰尘世,唯有上帝和我
On that lonely dirt road
在此孤单的泥泞小路上彼此相望
I tried my best to plant the seeds
我竭尽全力去播种下生活的种子
And then I watered everything that was in my life
也竭力灌溉我白驹过隙般生命中所拥有的一切
But as aman, the only flowers that you get
但作为一个男人,你唯一能被赠予鲜花的机会
Are when you're 6 feet under on the day you die
是你生命走向终结那日坟头上的点点芬芳
I think I feel the pain my father felt
我仿佛感受到了父亲曾经独自扛下的那份痛楚
It's finally sinking in
这一切的刻骨铭心终于融入到我的血肉
Looking back all I see is his eyes
回首往昔,他那疲惫却深邃的眼神历历在目
He said that house is not a home
他曾言,一个真正的家之所以被称之为家
Unless you build it on respect
只有当其以尊重作为基石
With some kids and a loving wife
伴以孩子们的欢声笑语与妻子的温情
If these walls could talk
倘若这些冰冷的白墙能说话
I bet they'd say it's all my fault
我打赌它们会说我是一切苦难的源头
That I don't try hard
指责我并没有拼尽全力
That I ain't man enough
责备我缺乏应有的担当
That I ain't standing up
没有在公正缺席时挺身而出
That I just burn everything
我双手所触及的一切
That my hands touch
最终都化为灰烬
If these walls could talk
假如这些冰冷的墙壁会说话
I bet they'd say I'm to blame
我打赌它们肯定会说我自己才是那理应斥责的人
That I'm the one who put myself inside of all of these chains
我才是那位用条条枷锁封闭自我的罪人
That my addictive personalities what ran them away
是我那依赖成性的缺陷把身边的人推远
And that I hurt myself by staying quiet
是我的沉默不语一次又一次伤害自己
And not explaining I'm broken
是我没有表露出那支离破碎的内心
In places, I can't even see
尽管并非亲眼所见
I know there's gotta be a heaven
但我坚信极乐净土的存在
Because the hell that's in me
因为我内在熊熊燃烧的炼狱
Is taking a dangerous toll
正缓缓地吞噬着我
That I'm paying with all of my soul
而那正以出卖灵魂为代价
When I need space that's where I go
当我渴求宁静之时,我便奔向那片孤独之地
A place to escape that nobody knows
那是个无人知晓的避难所
Where I feel free to let things go
在那里,我能够无所顾忌地释然一切
And face this evil that burdens my soul
并鼓起勇气直面那些束缚灵魂的阴霾
I bring my hatred I pack my pain
我背负着满腔仇怨,重新梳理心中那难言的苦楚
All the emotions I cannot explain
以及我无法通过只言片语所能表达的复杂情感
It's where I found God
正是在那片净土,我邂逅到了上帝
And filled that whole
填补那愈发撕裂的空虚
It's he, myself and I
天地无声,唯有上帝与我
On that lonely dirt road
在此孤独的泥泞小路上厮守至永恒
