Telling Stories
There is fiction in the space between
在你的记忆之间
The lines on your page of memories
存在着你的想象
Write it down but it doesn't mean
把它们写下来
You're not just telling stories
也只是说明你在讲个故事而已
There is fiction in the space between
在你和现实之间
You and reality
也存在着你的想象
You will do and say anything
你会想尽办法地
To make your everyday life
让你的生活看起来
Seem less mundane
不那么平凡
There is fiction in the space between
在你和我之间
You and me
存在着你的想象
There's a science fiction in the space between
在你我之间
You and me
仿佛上演着一部科幻小说
A fabrication of a grand scheme
一个精心策划的惊天大阴谋
Where I am the scary monster
我是这个阴谋里面的可怕怪兽
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
我毁掉整座城市,然后扬长而去
In my spaceship I am laughing
在我的太空船里怪笑
In your remembrance of your bad dream
你回想一下你的噩梦吧
There's no one but you standing
那里没有别人,只有你一个人而已
Leave the pity and the blame
为了那些不能发声的人
For the ones who do not speak
摈弃掉遗憾和责备吧
You write the words to get respect and compassion
你已经靠写下这些字来得到尊重和同情了
And for posterity
也为了子孙后代
You write the words and make believe
你写下这些字
There is truth in the space between
假装里面存有真理
There is fiction in the space between
你和他人之间
You and everybody
都存在着你的想象
Give us all what we need
给我们所有我们想要的吧
Give us one more sad sordid story
给我们更多一些悲伤可鄙的故事吧
But in the fiction of the space between
但这里面存在着想象
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
有时候谎言是最好的一件事
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
有时候谎言是最好的一件事
