歌词(节选)欣赏:
I don’t live in California, I'll inform ya, that’s notwhere I reside
我不住在加州,我将告知你,那里不是我的栖身之处
I’m just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and I
我只是一位房客,倾付着来自我身体的租金
Got two windows and those windows, well I’ll call them my eyes
有两扇窗,那两扇窗啊,我将叫它们我的眼睛
I’m just going where the wind blows, I don’t get to decide
我会去向风起的地方,我无从决定
Sometimes I think to much, yeah, I get so caught up
有时我会想很多,是啊,我陷入其中
I’m always stuck in my head
我总是被脑中的思绪所裹缠
I wish could escape, I tried to yesterday
我多希望能够逃离,昨日我试过一次
Took all the sheets of my bed
收起我的床单
Then I tied up my linen with five stripes of ribbon I found
然后我用我所找到的五种条纹的缎带将亚麻布单捆起来
Scaled the side of the building
攀登至建筑的一边
I ran to the hills till they found me
我前往小山直到他们把我找寻
And they put me back in my cell
然后他们将我送回我的牢房
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
又是孤身一人,与无穷无尽的思绪纠缠一起
I guess my mind is a prison and I’m never gonna get out
我想我的大脑是一座监狱,我永远无法逃脱出来
So they tranquilized me analyzed me threw me back in my cage
所以他们让我平静下来试图慰藉我的心灵然后将我送回牢房
Then they tied me to an IV told me i was insane
然后他们捆住我向我静脉注射药物并告诉我是我疯了
I’m a prisoner a visitor inside my brain
我是我脑海里的一位囚犯一位旅客
And no matter what i do they tried to keep me in chains
无论我做什么,他们试图将我双手拷起来
Sometimes I think to much, yeah, I get so caught up
有时我会想很多,是啊,我陷入其中
I’m always stuck in my head
我总是被脑中的思绪所裹缠
I wish could escape, I tried to yesterday
我多希望能够逃离,昨日我试过一次
Took all the sheets of my bed
收起我的床单
