[Verse 1]
I'm from the East side of America
我來自美國東岸
Where we choose pride over character
我們選擇以自豪去看待之處
And we can pick sides, but this is us, this is us, this is
我們當然可以挑個邊靠,但這就是純然的我們
(我只翻大概的意思,不逐字翻。如果想要知道全部內容請在留言處告知我。)
這裡是指他們對於自己的出身地與居住地的認同。“we”也可能意指美國的總稱,因此us也可能是美利堅合眾國的簡寫。
I live on the West side of America
我住在美國西岸
Where they spin lies into fairy dust*
他們將細碎的謊言撒入仙塵處
fairy dust 是指娛樂產業,包括音樂與影視
And we can pick sides, but this is us, this is us, this is
我們大可朝秦暮楚,但我喜愛最真誠的自己
And don't believe the narcissism
別相信那些自戀狂
When everyone projects and expects you to listen to 'em
當每個人將夢想投射在你身上並期盼你依照他們的命令
Make no mistake, I live in a prison
俐落不出差錯,我被禁錮在與世隔絕的監牢
That I built myself, it is my religion
我為自己所建,由信仰層層疊起
And they say that I am the sick boy
而他們說我是病態男孩
Easy to say, when you don't take the risk, boy
當你不願接觸風險時,說的當然比做的容易
這裡是在說那些消費老菸槍的音樂,妄下評論,私底下批評且稱他為瘋子的人們。他指出,要批判一個人很容易,但他們大多數人勸寧願甩嘴皮子也不願冒險去為自己的人生增添內涵
Welcome to the narcissism
歡迎來到自戀狂的行列
Where we're united under our indifference
我們聚集於漠然交織的表象下
And I'm from the East side of America
而我來自美國東岸
Where we desensitize by hysteria
透過歇斯底里麻痺內心的抓狂
And we can pick sides, but this is us
我們可以有不同的選擇,但這就是我們
This is us, this is
最純粹的自我
I live on the West side of America
我住在美國西岸
Where they spin lies into fairy dust
他們將謊言捲入仙塵的漩渦中
And we can pick sides, but this is us
我們可以做其他選擇
This is us, this is
但我喜愛純粹的自己
[Chorus]
I am the, I am the, I am the sick boy x2
我就是 就是那瘋狂男孩
They say that I am the sick boy
他們說我是病態男孩
And they call me the sick bo
而他們便如此稱呼我

[Bridge] x4
Feed yourself with my life's work
用盡畢生的勞力養活你
How many likes is my life worth?
我的人生值幾個讚呢
這一段是在講兩個類型的人類
1.主要是類似川普支持者的類型,他們認為自己認真工作賺錢,卻得繳稅給那些不願工作的人
2.那些透過老菸槍的音樂去逃離自己平凡枯燥生活的人
這裡的likes就是instagram上面的“愛心”(我也不太清楚那個中文是什麼)
