Alec Benjamin - Mind Is A Prison 心之囹圄

比起肉體的囚禁,心之囹圄更令人難以承受,但是我不會放棄希望,也不會停止渴望自由。


I don't live in California, I'll inform you, that's not where I reside
我不住加州,讓我告訴你,那不是我的居住地
I'm just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and I
我只是個房客,租借這個軀體
Got two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes
房裡有兩扇窗,稱它們為雙眸
I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide
隨波逐流,決定權不在我

Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up
有時我想太多、陷太深
I'm always stuck in my head
老是鑽牛角尖
I wish I could escape
多渴望逃脫
I tried to yesterday took all the sheets off my bed
昨天試圖將床單拉出

Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
然後將找到的五條帶子綁在床單上
Scaled the side of the building
一路爬下大樓
I ran to the hills 'til they found me
越過山丘,直到他們找到我
And they put me back in my cell
把我關回牢裡
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
獨自一人承受著這些思緒
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
我大概永遠無法逃離心之囹圄

So they tranquilized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage
注入鎮定劑、研究我、將我關回牢房
Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane
靜脈注射,再告訴我瘋了
I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain
我是大腦裡的囚犯、訪客
And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains
不論我做什麼,都有所桎梏

Sometimes I think to much, yeah, I get so caught up
有時我想得太多、陷得太深
I'm always stuck in my head
總是鑽牛角尖
I wish I could escape
多希望能脫逃
I tried to yesterday took all the sheets off my bed
昨天的我試著將床單拉出

Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
然後綁上找到的五條帶子
Scaled the side of the building
爬出這棟大樓
I ran to the hills 'til they found me
穿越丘陵,直到被他們抓到
And they put me back in my cell
再次關回牢裡
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
獨自承受所有的思緒
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
我永遠也逃不出心之囹圄

Said even if it's true, no matter what I do, I'm never gonna escape
即使不論如何我都逃脫不了是事實
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope, and try for another day
日復一日我也不會放棄希望、抓住救生索
Said even if it's true, no matter what I do, I'm never gonna escape
即使不論如何我無法脫逃已注定
I won't give up on hope, secure another rope, and try for another day
日復一日我也不會放棄希望、伸向救生索

Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found
然後我將找到的五條帶子繫在床單上
Scaled the side of the building
一路爬出大樓
I ran to the hills 'til they found me
穿越丘陵,直到被抓包
And they put me back in my cell
再度關回牢裡
All by myself, alone with my thoughts again
獨自承受爆炸的小宇宙
I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
或許我一輩子都逃不出心之囹圄

面對混亂而倍感無力,宛如囚禁在監牢,被吵雜的思緒淹沒。你不是第一個,也不會是最後一個,我們都有自己的課題要面對。

Alec Benjamin - Steve 史帝夫

擁有得再多
仍填不滿內心的空虛
多麼輕易忘記
手裡有的早該足夠了

I know the Bible isn't perfect
我知道聖經並不完美
Cause it left one person out
因為少了一個人物
There was Adam, there was Eve
除了亞當、夏娃
And there was someone else around
還有另一個人
Yeah, I think his name was Steve
我想他叫史帝夫
And he was passing through town
同樣是園裡的訪客

When he heard a snake a-whispering
當他聽見園裡的蛇
To Adam in the garden
對亞當低語
"Take the fruit, it's good for you"
「吃顆果子,那對你有益」
Steve said, "I beg your pardon
史帝夫說:「不好意思
I know it's not my business
我知道不關我的事
But will you just hear me out?"
但你是否能聽我說?」

He said, "I wouldn't lie
他說:「我可不會說謊
You should not go to that tree
你不該去樹下
The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed
蛇知道那是善惡樹的果
Oh, you want what you can't have
你只是渴望自己不能擁有的
But you've got all the things you need"
但你早擁有所需要的一切
There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve
園子裡除了亞當、夏娃,還有史帝夫
He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake
他說:「亞當,可別被蛇給唬了
Don't risk it all for a taste
別為了一小口犧牲全部
Oh, what a waste
多可惜
To have everything and give it all away"
賠上擁有的一切

Adam looked around and as he wrestled with his fate
亞當與命運搏鬥時環顧四週
Steve and Eve rolled up their sleeves to wrestle with that snake
史帝夫和夏娃捲起袖子和蛇拼命
In the midst of all the chaos
混亂之中
Steve was still screaming out
史帝夫仍大喊著

He said, "I wouldn't lie
他說:「我可不會唬你
You should not go to that tree
你不該去樹那
The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed
蛇知道果子是來自善惡樹
Oh, you want what you can't have
你渴望自己所沒有的
But you've got all the things you need"
但是你已經擁有了需要的一切
There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve
園子裡除了亞當、夏娃,還有史帝夫

He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake
他說:「亞當,別中了蛇的計
Don't risk it all for a taste
別為了雞毛蒜皮犧牲所有
Oh, what a waste
會是多麼可惜
To have everything and give it all away"
放棄手中擁有的一切」

Sometimes I feel like Adam
有時感覺自己有如亞當
Cause I've got more than I need
我擁有的早超過所需要的
But even when I have it all
即使擁有了全世界
I want what's out of reach
依然渴望世界以外
Maybe I should learn my lesson
或許我該學到教訓
Like Steve was talking to me
宛如史帝夫在旁勸戒

He said, "I wouldn't lie
他說:「真心不騙
You should not go to that tree
你不該去樹那
The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed
蛇知道那是善惡樹結的禁果
Oh, you want what you can't have
你渴望本身沒有的
But you've got all the things you need"
卻早擁有所需的一切
There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve
園裡除了亞當、夏娃,還有史帝夫

He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake
他說:「亞當,別信了蛇的話
Don't risk it all for a taste
別為了一丁點犧牲全盤
Oh, what a waste
會是多麼可惜
To have everything and give it all away"
將手中擁有的通通放棄」



有時我們就是學不乖、長不大,但到頭來沒有人躲得了、可以不為自己的行為負責。

Taylor Swift - Only The Young 唯有青年


讀了解析才知道這首是獻給美國青年的催票歌,但是我覺得藝術很妙的是它還是有很多解讀的空間,也很歡迎聽眾對號入座以產生共鳴,建立新一層的連結和記憶。


It keeps me awake, the look on your face
你臉上的神情使我睡不著覺
The moment you heard the news
當你接到消息
You're screaming inside and frozen in time
內心尖叫的片刻彷彿時間凍結
You did all that you could do
你盡可能嘗試了
The game was rigged, the ref got tricked
矇過裁判那卑鄙的遊戲
The wrong ones think they’re right
惡者視己為善
You were outnumbered this time
這次是你們寡不敵眾

But only the young, only the young
但唯有青年
Only the young, only the young
唯有青年
Can run
能去闖
Can run
有所行動
So run, and run, and run
所以放膽奔跑吧

So every day now
每一天起
You brace for the sound you've only heard on TV
你為電視上的聲響膽戰心驚
You go to class, scared
對上學有陰影
Wondering where the best hiding spot would be
心想著哪裡是最好的藏身之處
And the big bad man and his big bad clan
而大壞蛋和他的那夥人
Their hands are stained with red
雙手皆染了紅
Oh, how quickly they forget
沒多久他們便忘了教訓

They aren't gonna help us
他們並不會朝我們伸出援手
Too busy helping themselves
只忙著照顧自己
They aren't gonna change this
他們並不會有所改變
We gotta do it ourselves
我們得親自實踐
They think that it's over
他們以為尾聲來臨
But it's just begun
卻才剛開始呢

Only one thing can save us
唯一的救贖者
Only the young [x12]
唯有青年
(Don't say you're too tired to fight)
別說你心累了
(It's just a matter of time)
時間會證明一切
(Up there's the finish line)
離終點不遠了
Only the young
唯有青年
Can run
可以盡情奔跑

Don't say you're too tired to fight
別說你懶得戰
It's just a matter of time (Can run)
時間會證明一切 (有能闖)
Up there's the finish line (So run, and run, and run)
終點不遠了 (就奮力奔馳吧)
Don't say you're too tired to fight
別說你懶得努力
It's just a matter of time (So run)
時間會證明一切 (去闖吧)
Up there's the finish line (And run, and run, and run)
終點已經不遠了 (闖蕩世界不停歇)

Only the young [x3]
唯有青年


況且我相信歌詞上說的青年並不只是年紀較輕的朋友們,只要保有一顆年輕的心,人人也可以用力去闖,去打造一個我們所嚮往的世界。

為了愛來訪陰間也在所不惜  

今年初釋出、上映的戲劇可不少,然而《莎賓娜的顫慄冒險》是其中最令我期待的一部!20年代剛開始,就帶我們通通下地獄會不會太刺激啦~~
