Misspent Youth
The glory of a misspent youth
虛度青春的燦爛
chasing tire stains in muted thunder
是沉默雷聲下追隨車輪留下的印記
trading *** for drugs
是那一段快感與沈淪交纏的過去
And my Ophelia does not drown Ophelia(
哈姆雷特的戀人)並未溺亡
she just barely hangs on
她永遠在樹枝上靜靜徘徊
Now driving drunk in Daddy's car
現在我開著爸爸的車喝醉了
Honey, I won't spoil the ending
親愛的,我不會潦倒一生
But see that bend up in the road?
只是看那路的蜿蜒拐彎
Didn't it seem that the night
這夜晚看起來不會
was a little too quiet?
太安靜了一點嗎?
When it seems your subjects
當對你俯首稱臣的人
have all forgotten you
把你忘記的時候
I need you to pretend that you are mine
我要你假裝你還是屬於我的
And the water is just deep enough to
水深到可以讓
take another chance
你的生命重來一次
ah, but the river doesn' t want you tonight
然而今晚你還是沒能隨著河水逝去
The engine was not built to last
引擎不能一直轉動
And there's a permanence
留下的擦痕
to the memory of a bruise
是對青蔥歲月淤青的永遠紀念
and I still take it on
我仍然默然無悔地
the chin for you
為你承受這一切
You are not alone here
在我身邊
but you ain't helping me none
於我無益
Disabled motorist
用摩托代替雙腿的行者們
in the road, I have become one
我已踏上了他們的征程
