“Is this the real life,”
(这一切是真的吗)
“Is this just fantasy,”
(亦或仅仅是幻觉)
“Caught in a ndslide,”
(被困于山崩地裂)
“No escape from reality,”
(无法逃脱现实的牢笼)
······
“To me,”
(对我来说已无关紧要)
仿佛是在陈述一个故事,开头虽然是缓慢的钢琴,可是内容却极其沉重。
大家沉浸在萧炎的歌声里,也沉浸在这个故事里,第一小段结束,咏叹的节奏又把歌曲推入另一个深层次。
歌词开始表达故事了,用以来叙述为何开头那样沉重。
然后就听见一个人在跟妈妈交代自己所犯下的罪行。
“Mama, just killed a man,”
(妈妈啊 我刚刚杀了个人)
“Put a gun against his head,”
(我拿枪指着他的头,)
“Pulled my trigger now he''s dead,”
(扣下扳机 枪响人亡)
“Mama, life had just begun,”
(妈妈啊 生活才刚刚开始啊)
“But now I''ve gone and thrown it all away,”
(然而如今我却远走并抛之脑后)
