[Verse 1]

You learn a couple things when you get to my age

當你步入我這年紀便漸漸摸索出了些事物

Like friends don't lie and it all tastes the same in the dark

像是好友從不欺騙,一切在黑暗下都使人麻木

When your vinyl and your coffee collection is a sign of the times

當你的黑膠唱片和咖啡收藏盒成了歲月流轉的痕跡

You're getting spirituality enlightened at 29

你將在靈魂的暗域鑿出一道曙光

 

[Chorus]

So just give yourself a try

為何不給自己一個機會

Won't you give yourself a try?   x2

為什麼不好好享受人生

Won't you give?

放手一博

 

[Verse 2]

I found a grey hair in one of my zoots

我在一次的的吞雲吐霧中赫見白髮

Like context in a modern debate I just took it out

就像在現代辯論中愕然找不出內容

The only apparatus required for happiness is your pain and fucking going outside

忘憂的唯一解藥是痛苦的洗滌與踽踽步出家門

 

And getting STD's at 27 really isn't the vibe

在27歲得到性傳染病真的不怎麼值得吹噓

Jane took her own life at 16, she was a kid who had the box tattooed on her arm

珍在16歲結束了生命,她是個手臂上有著盒狀刺青的女孩

(Jane是the 1975的粉絲之一,the 1975的樂團logo是一個盒子,Jane在自己手臂上也紋了這個刺青,之後便自殺了)

And I was 25 and afraid to go outside

而我一個25歲的人類卻害怕走出家門

A millenial that baby-boomers like

一個像二戰後嬰兒的y世代少年

millenial雖然直譯是千禧年世代,但genius和google所提供資料的是在1981~1996/2000出生的嬰兒,主唱則是出生於1989。而baby-boomers則是指二戰後的戰後嬰兒潮時期出生的幼兒,而主唱認為自己是偏向這類人的,因為他們多半假設y世代少年是被寵溺,過於敏感誇大,且將毀了這個世界。文末我會補上genius網站給的兩個世代族群比較圖)


 

[Chorus]

Won't you give yourself a try?   x3

為何不徒留遺憾

Won't you give?

奮力嘗試

 

[Bridge]

'And what would you say to your younger self?'

你會對年少時的自己說些什麼?

Growing a beard's quite hard

留些鬍子不太容易

And whiskey never starts to taste nice

而威士忌從未嚐起來好些

And you'll make a lot of money, and it's funny

而你會賺到不少鈔票,這還蠻好笑的

'Cause you'll move somewhere sunny and get addicted to drugs

因為你將搬到某個陽光普照的住處開始成癮於吸毒

And spend obscene amounts on fucking seeds and beans online

沈淪於那些網路上狗娘的大麻和迷幻藥

 

[Chorus]

So just give yourself a try

所以何不給自己一次機會

Won't you give yourself a try?   x2

探索一個不同的人生

Won't you give?

為何不?
