Selfish Art
Sometimes Making songs for a living
有時候,為生計而創作歌曲
Feels like living to make songs
卻像是我為寫歌而生
And sometimes I get an uneasy feeling
有時候,我感覺到惶恐不安
That Im doing something wrong
恍然發覺自己在犯錯
Cause nothing really feels like home
這世間的一切,都不像是我的歸屬
And I just want to be alone
雖然孑然一身,我卻寧可獨自漂泊
Calculate the hours till the power in the well goes dry
枯等時間流逝,等那井裡的活水乾涸殆盡
Im watching as the stage goes black
我靜看舞台的燈光變得黯淡
How long until we all go back
不知何時才是歸途
To being nothing at all
我們彷若滄海一粟
Nothing but a spark in someones eye
渺小得像是他人眼中一閃而逝的煙火
Am I giving all that I can give
我一直在全力以赴
Am I earning the right to live
學著如何生存下去
By looking in a mirror
而當我看向那面鏡子,才幡然醒悟
Theres nothing more sincere than selfish art
只有那自私的藝術,是我最誠摯的依靠
Sometimes When Ive got nothing to say
有時候,我靜默著無話可說
I think breaking a heart
我思考著,或許,痛徹心扉
Could maybe be the start of some new page
是為了在我生命裡開啟某個新篇章呢
And sometimes I play a couple war games
而又有時,我耽玩那些模擬戰爭
Using live ammunition
荷槍實彈進入戰場
So I can fix what Im missing
只為在廝殺中填補失重的空虛感
Most of my songs are true
我一直真情實感地寫歌
Most of my songs are due to some broken people
大多為落魄之人而作
So I could write a single
所以,歌裡的人總是形單影只
Im watching as the stage goes black
我靜看舞台的燈光變得黯淡
How long until we all go back
不知何時才是歸途
To being nothing at all
我們彷若滄海一粟
Nothing but a spark in someones eye
渺小得像是他人眼中一閃而逝的煙火
Am I giving all that I can give
我一直在全力以赴
Am I earning the right to live
學著如何生存下去
By looking in a mirror
而當我看向那面鏡子,才幡然醒悟
Theres nothing more sincere than selfish art
只有那自私的藝術,是我最誠摯的依靠
Im watching as the stage goes black
我靜看舞台的燈光變得黯淡
How long until we all go back
不知何時才是歸途
To being nothing at all
我們彷若滄海一粟
Nothing but a spark in someones eye
渺小得像是他人眼中一閃而逝的煙火
Am I giving all that I can give
我一直在全力以赴
Am I earning the right to live
學著如何生存下去
By looking in a mirror
而當我看向那面鏡子,才幡然醒悟
Theres nothing more sincere than selfish art
只有那自私的藝術,是我最誠摯的依靠
Theres nothing more sincere than an empty heart
唯有我那空虛的心,是我最誠摯的證明
Theres nothing more sincere than who we are
這世間最真實的,就是我們對自己的認知
Who we are
是一路叩問去追尋的我們的靈魂
