The Outskirts

I heard you have a pretty villa down south
我听说你在南部有座漂亮的别墅
The paint never peels and the grass doesn't dry out
油漆永固 绿草不竭
Though it hasn't rained in months
虽然已经有几个月没下雨了
Not even once
一次也没有
At least it's something to worry about
至少这是让人担心的

因为在郊区 舒适是首要
Cause in the outskirts, comfort comes first
它既完美又真实
It's as perfect as it's true
当有一个爆发了 它可能会更糟
When there's an outburst, it could be worse
因为这可能会发生在你身上
Cause it could happen to you
那你曾在后廊见过
But have you ever seen a view like this
如此美景吗
From a back porch?
但你永远不会离开
But you would never leave
只因 如果这里的一切不是你想要的呢？
Cause what if it's not everything you want?
如果你无法从你已知的事情中逃离
If you couldn't run from everything you've known
它会让你感到不那么孤独
And it didn't make you feel like your own
听说你是一个兼职爱国者

失去了你的动力后 你用驱动器来以弥补它
I heard you are a part-time patriot
永远不要在街道的死胡同里徘徊延伸
Lost your drive so you drive to compensate for it
而你早已记住了这的所有名字
Never get at the extend of the streets and dead ends
郊区是舒适的
And you've memorized all of the names
它是触手可及的天堂

倘若它爆发了 或许会更糟糕
Cause in the outskirts, comfort comes first
而它有可能会发生在你身上
It's as perfect as it's true
你是否曾在别墅的后门走廊
When there's an outburst, it could be worse
见过如此美景
Cause it could happen to you
但你永远不会离开
But have you ever seen a view like this
只因这里的一切并非你想要的
From a back porch?
如果你无法从你所得知的事情中逃离
But you would never leave
而它会减少你的孤单
Cause what if it's not everything you want?
你怎能离开
If you couldn't run from everything you've known
我仍记得你告诉我那奇妙的幻想
And it didn't make you feel like you own
像在一间玻璃房中呼吸
Why can't you leave?
看着眼前的庞大城市就像梦境一样
I remember fantasies you tell
所以你保持安全
You're breathing on a glass of a hotel
并将口中的苦涩洗去
Looking at a city that's so big it can't be real
你抬头看着被烧焦的橙色天空 想知道为什么

你曾经梦想着离开
So you stay safe
And wash the bitter taste from your mouth
You look up at the burnt orange sky and wonder why
You ever dreamt of getting out
