Vietnam

說我的防線在你面前土崩瓦解
To say that I'm a man undone
也算是輕描淡寫
Is understatement at its worst
我完全失去了行動的能力
I was completely incapacitated
在你的友好與善良面前
By your southern charm
我像被施了一道古老的吉普賽咒語
It hit me like an ancient gypsy curse
但是你嫻熟地操縱我對你的依賴
But this instrument you use with such precision--
我們之間立著一堵水泥牆
It's like a concrete wall
有上千米高
A thousand meters tall
我嘗試了百萬次，去翻這冰霜攀附的冷牆
And I've tried to climb its icy walls a million times
但我近來開始懷疑
But I simply cannot find inside of me
我們這愛本身
The requisite resolve
你的沉默是你的武器

像一顆原子彈
Your silence is a weapon
像那種橙劑（一種落葉劑，美國人曾用之對付越南共產黨）
It's like a nuclear bomb
美國人曾將它噴灑在越南
It's like the Agent Orange
冷漠隱藏在沉默之下
They used to use in Vietnam
發出的聲音震耳欲聾
And it's accompanied by an apathy
你知道它穿透力十足，威力巨大
That's deafening to the ears
肆意地用於你我之間
You know it is complete and perfect
其實事情沒有那麼難解，只是你不在乎我們的感情罷了
And you wield it without fear
你不對我吐露想法，這一點傷害了我

你說你不會遷怒於我們的感情
It isn't complicated; you just don't care
但你就像一個行走的火球，燒掉你所到每一處
You attack me by not saying anything
你的承諾你兌現不了
You say that you don't bring your anger to me
我獨自徘徊在你諾言的灰燼中
But it poisons every fiber of your being
唯一稍感寬心的是
Now you started something that you cannot finish
我知道你不管和誰在一起
And left me standing in the wreckage on my own
總是留不住別人
And the only thing that brings me any comfort
你的沉默是你的武器
Is the knowledge that, no matter who you're with
像一顆原子彈
You'll always be alone
像那種橙劑

美國人曾將它噴灑在越南
Your silence is a weapon
冷漠隱藏在沉默之下
It's like a nuclear bomb
發出的聲音震耳欲聾
It's like the Agent Orange
你知道它穿透力十足，威力巨大
They used to use in Vietnam
肆意地用於你我之間
And it's accompanied by an apathy
你的沉默是你的武器
That's deafening to the ears
像一顆原子彈
You know it is complete and perfect
像那種橙劑
And you wield it without fear
美國人曾將它噴灑在越南

冷漠隱藏在沉默之下
Your silence is a weapon
發出的聲音震耳欲聾
It's like a nuclear bomb
你知道它穿透力十足，威力巨大
It's like the Agent Orange
肆意地用於你我之間
They used to use in Vietnam
And it's accompanied by an apathy
That's deafening to the ears
You know it is complete and perfect
And you wield it without fear
