．個人感想．

我一直都不是很喜歡有牽扯到宗教相關的歌曲

總覺得動不動就會被迫洗腦

可是這首真的讓我驚艷到了

整首歌雖然大都引用自聖經

不過不會讓人覺得有傳教之意

反而讓人覺得句句都扣人心弦

副歌的「Don't be afraid」

真的讓我起雞皮疙瘩

然而這首歌要真的完全理解他的意境真的不容易

我也是花了一個下午查找並整理國外網友討論的資料

才稍微讓我對這首歌有那麼一點頭緒

但或許這首就是要給人開放式的想像空間吧

而最後一段verse的部分

真的敘事性很強

硬是把我強行帶入到了歌詞情境中

Tyler本人也曾說過這段是他自己最喜歡的一段verse

詞雖然是在敘事

但各個比喻都用得很美妙

讓整首歌超越了單純音樂的境界了

BTW

第一次嘗試幫歌詞加上註解

大家有意見或疑惑都可以提出來哦

另外

這首歌大部分都是取材自聖經

這部分我不是很了解

因此有些我不是很清楚的地方就沒加上註釋了

有興趣地可以自己查查看相關資料

而如果我打的註釋有解釋錯的地方還麻煩大家提醒

．Lyrics 歌詞．

I wanna fall inside your ghost

讓我墜入聖靈的懷抱

And fill up every hole inside my mind

以填滿我內心無謂的空虛

And I want everyone to know

我希望眾人了解

That I am half a soul divided

我殘缺的心並不完整

Sometimes, we will die

人難逃一死

And sometimes, we will fly away

但或許我能夠藉此投入祢的胸懷

Either way, you're by my side

反正無論如何，祢都會伴著我吧

Until my dying days

一直到我長睡那時

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

那天隨時會到來

I said, "Don't be afraid"

我告訴自己:「別害怕」

I said, "Don't be afraid

「別感到擔憂，

We're going home"

這只是趟回家的路程罷了」

I wanna strip myself of breath

帶走我一絲鼻息吧

A breathless piece of death I've made for you

讓我歸還祢曾賜給我的這最後一縷氣息

A mortal rotting piece of song

那些我創作過的負面且悲傷的歌

Will help me carry on, but at least you heard

總能激勵我的心，但不知道祢是否會了解

Oh, sometimes, we will die

我們終究會死吧

And sometimes, we will fly away

但我只把這當成回去祢身邊的途徑

Either way, you're by my side

祢會一直在我身邊的對吧

Until my dying days

直到我安息那天

And if I'm not there and I'm far away

那天遲早會來到的吧

I said, "Don't be afraid"

「別心慌畏懼」

I said, "Don't be afraid

「別懼怕生命結束

We're going home"

祂只是把我們帶往更好的地方」

So the hearse ran out of gas, a passenger person grabbed a map

話說那靈車沒油了，其中一位乘客拿起了地圖

And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past

駕駛則重新規劃路線

And checked his watch

於是他們看了看時間

and grabbed a cab, a beautifully plain taxi cab

攔了輛簡單樸素的計程車

A cab, had a cleared out back and two men started to unpack

他們將棺木放在計程車空無一物的後車廂中

Driving once again, but now this time, there were three men

再次踏上旅程，不過這次多了一個人

And then I heard one of them say,

接著我聽見他們其中之一說:

"I know the night will turn to gray

「夜晚終究會結束

I know the stars will start to fade when all the darkness fades away

繁星將會隨黑暗的褪去而消逝

We had to steal him from his fate so he could see another day."

我們得把它們從黑暗救贖，讓其有機會感受永生」

And then I cracked open my box,

接著我從靈柩中用出了些罅隙

someone must have picked the lock

不知道是誰開了鎖

A little light revealed the spot where my fingernails had fought

一抹光明從我為捍衛信仰而打破的裂縫中竄出

Then I pushed it open more, pushing up against the door

隨後我用力推開棺材門，逃了出去

Then I sat up off the floor

就這樣靜靜坐在地上

and found the breath I was searching for

深深感受了一口那我尋覓已久的呼吸

Then there were three men up front

我前面坐著三個人

all I saw were backs of heads

我只看的見祂們的背影

And then I asked "Am I alive and well, or am I dreaming dead?"

我問祂們:「我現在是清醒的，亦或是在死亡中沉睡?」

Then one turned around to say,

其中一人轉過身答:

"We're driving toward the morning sun

「我們正駛向日出

Where all your blood is washed away

在那裡，你的所有罪孽將被洗淨

and all you did will be undone."

所有你曾後悔的事，都被允許重新抉擇」

I said, "Don't be afraid"

「別害怕」

I said, "Don't be afraid"

「沒事的」

Oh, oh
