歌词
Walt Grace, desperately hating his whole place,
沃尔特痛恨自己的生活
Dreamed to discover a new space,
他梦想探索新世界
And buried himself alive,
将旧世界活活掩埋
Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face when,
地下室里，他沉默不语
He's working away on displacement,
努力造舟日夜不休
And what it would take to survive.
小艇坚固足以远渡
Cos when you're done with this world,
只需了结此世
You know the next is up to you.
来生便能随心所欲
And his wife told his kids he was crazy,
妻子说孩子们你爹疯啦
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried,
朋友说努力都是白费
But with a will to work hard,
但带着一颗坚定的心
And a library card,
和一张借书卡
He took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride.
他造了一艘手工风扇叶单人潜水艇
That morning, the sea was mad and I mean it,
那天清晨大海呼啸怒吼
Waves as big as he'd seen it,
惊涛狂浪远超他想象
Deep in his dreams at home.
现实与梦想相去甚远
From dry land,
从干燥的岸边他推赶
He rolled it over to wet sand,
潜水艇滚过湿润的沙子
Closed the hatch up with one hand,
他单手关上舱门
And peddled off alone.
独自启程
Cos when you're done with this world,
只需了结此世
You know the next is up to you.
来生便能随心所欲
And for once in his life it was quiet,
人生初次陷入寂静
As he learned how to turn in the tide,
他从容驾驭潮汐
And the sky was a flare,
天空灼灼闪烁时
When he came up for air,
他浮上海面透气
In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride.
坐在那艘手工风扇叶单人潜水艇中
One evening,
这天晚上
When weeks had passed since his leaving,
起航数周以后
The call she'd planned on receiving,
她期盼的那通电话
Finally made it home.
如期拨通到家
She accepted,
她听到的消息
The news she'd never expected,
却出乎意料之外
The operator connected,
接线员接给她
A call from Tokyo.
一通来自东京的电话
Cos when you're done with this world,
当你了结此世
You know the next is up to you.
来生便能随心所欲
Now his friends,
他的朋友
Bring him up when they're drinking,
喝酒时提及他故事
At the bar with his name on the side,
酒吧里镌刻有他的名字
And they smile when they can,
他们会心而笑
As they speak of a man,
说曾有这样一个男人
Who took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride.
乘着一艘手工风扇叶单人潜水艇去兜风
