Nobody Wants To Hear Songs Anymore
没有人再想听歌了
Lyrics by:Ben Abraham/Ben Boquist
I prayed to God that the angel of music
我向上帝祈祷,有位音乐天使
Would come down and give me a song
会下凡人间,帮助我写一首歌
That the words would be true and say something so new
歌词将会是真情流露,创新十足
That the world would start singing along
世界也将齐声歌唱
And I was surprised when the angel replied
我很惊讶,天使竟回复了我
With a note that he stuck to my door
纸条轻轻贴在了我的门上
That said nobody wants to hear songs anymore
上面写着:“没有人再想听歌了”
I wrote a song for the love of my life
我为我一生的挚爱写了一首歌
And I bled into every note
每个音符都费尽心血
And I poured out my soul and surrendered control
毫无控制地将我的灵魂倾下
Into each line and lyric I wrote
每一句话每一个词
But when I finished singing my lover just yawned
但当我唱完时,我的爱人只是打了个哈欠
And continued to stare at the floor
继续无神地盯着地板
Saying nobody wants to hear songs anymore
说着:“没有人再想听歌了”
Oh when did it all gets so boring
哦,一切都变得如此无聊
How did it all gets so bad
一切怎么都变得如此糟
Why does nobody care for a story
为什么没人在乎一个故事
Swallowing hooks without lines or intentional rhymes
没有台词或故意押韵的Hook
But whatever as long as we dance
但只是麻木地跳着,跳着……
So pull down the staging and cancel the show
所以拉下舞台,取消演出
Tell all the bands to go home
告诉所有乐队是时候回家了
Burn the piano and tear up the score
烧毁钢琴,撕毁乐谱
'cause nobody wants to hear songs anymore
因为没有人再想听歌了
