Anti-Curse

Getting deep
越陷越深
I'm out of my depth at a public beach
我静伫在公共海滩上 束手无策
I never listened, I had to see for myself
我从不听劝 总是要亲力亲为
It's coming in waves
情感如海浪拍打而来
Shoots through my mind like a pinball straight
像弹球一样 径直穿过我的脑袋
Friendly fire, point blank
“友军误伤 近距离射击”

Salt in my lungs
盐浸满我的肺腔
Holding my breath
屏住呼吸
Making peace with my inevitable death
欣然接受我不可避免的死亡

I guess I did alright, considering
考虑到这点 我想我做得还不错
Tried to be a halfway decent friend
我试着做个还算说得过去的朋友
Wound up a bad comedian
最终却成了名蹩脚的喜剧演员
An honest fool with more bad habits than you can count
只懂真诚的傻瓜 数不清楚的陋习

There we were
我们就是这样
Was anyone ever so young?
有多少人曾如我们这般年轻?
Breaking curfew with illegal fireworks
非法地燃放烟花 无视宵禁的规则
Unpacking God in the suburbs
在那郊区乡野 拆开上帝的包装

I'm swimming back
我重新向过往游去

You say you don't have to make it bad
你说 你不必让它变得如此难堪
Just 'cause you know how
因为你清楚该怎么做

Writing the words
写下三言两语的歌词
To the worst love song you've ever heard
伴着你所听过最糟糕的情歌
Sounding out the foreign characters
尝试着添加外语的字母
An incantation like an anti-curse
仿佛对抗诅咒用的咒语
Or even a blessing
亦或是一种祝福
