Anti-Curse

Getting deep
越陷越深
I'm out of my depth at a public beach
我靜佇在公共海灘上束手無策
I never listened, I had to see for myself
我從不聽勸總是要親力親為
It's coming in waves
情感如海浪拍打而來
Shoots through my mind like a pinball straight
像彈球一樣徑直穿過我的腦袋
Friendly fire, point blank
“友軍誤傷近距離射擊”

Salt in my lungs
鹽浸滿我的肺腔
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
考慮到這點我想我做得還不錯
Tried to be a halfway decent friend
我試著做個還算說得過去的朋友
Wound up a bad comedian
最終卻成了名蹩腳的喜劇演員
An honest fool with more bad habits than you can count
只懂真誠的傻瓜數不清楚的陋習

There we were
我們就是這樣
Was anyone ever so young?
有多少人曾如我們這般年輕?
Breaking curfew with illegal fireworks
非法地燃放煙花無視宵禁的規則
Unpacking God in the suburbs
在那郊區鄉野拆開上帝的包裝

I' m swimming back
我重新向過往游去

You say you don't have to make it bad
你說你不必讓它變得如此難堪
Just 'cause you know how
因為你清楚該怎麼做

Writing the words
寫下三言兩語的歌詞
To the worst love song you've ever heard
伴著你所聽過最糟糕的情歌
Sounding out the foreign characters
嘗試著添加外語的字母
An incantation like an anti-curse
彷彿對抗詛咒用的咒語
Or even a blessing
亦或是一種祝福
