Under The Iron Sea  

 

【文:Xavier】

 

Atlantic大西洋

 

I hope all my days will be lit by your face

I hope all the years will hold tight our promises

I don't wanna be old and sleep alone

An empty house is not a home

I don't wanna be old and feel afraid

 

I don't wanna be old and sleep alone

An empty house is not a home

I don't wanna be old and feel afraid

 

And if I need anything at all

I need a place that's hidden in the deep

Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep

Though all the world is broken

 

I need a place where I can make my bed

A lover's lap where I can lay my head

because now the room is spinning

The day's beginning

 

Atlantic中文歌詞:

希望你的臉 照亮我每一天

希望時間 不會將我們的誓言改變

不要到老了 卻只能孤獨入眠

空盪盪的房子 沒有家的感覺

不要到老了 還有這樣恐懼的感覺

 

不要到老了 卻只能孤獨入眠

空盪盪的房子 沒有家的感覺

不要到老了 還有這樣恐懼的感覺

 

如果你問我 需要什麼

我會說 我要一個隱密的空間

可以藏著你 讓天使呵護你入眠

就算全世界都被毀滅

我還有一個小小的空間

能為你鋪床葢被

讓我的頭 枕著你的膝蓋

現在開始 感覺地轉天旋

就這樣 開始這一天

 

 

Is It Any Wonder? 怎麼會?

 

I always thought that I knew

I'd always have the right to

Be living in the kingdom of the good and true and so on

But now I think I was wrong

And you were laughing along

And now I look a fool for thinking you were on my side

 

Is it any wonder that I'm tired?

Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?

Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

 

Sometimes it's hard to know where I stand

It's hard to know where I am

Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand

Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm

Stranded in the wrong time

Where love is just a lyric in children's rhyme, a soundbite

 

Is it any wonder that I'm tired?

Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?

Is it any wonder I don't know what's right

Oh these days!

After all the misery mode

Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?

Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?

 

Is It Any Wonder?中文歌詞:

我總以為我知道

我總有權力

住在一個真誠的王國

但我現在想我錯了

而你就那樣的嘲笑著我

讓我看來像個傻子

還以為妳站在我這邊

 

我怎麼會不累呢?

我怎麼會不感到緊張呢?

我怎麼會不懷疑自己的判斷力呢?

 

有時候

我不知身在何方

我不知身在何處

或許這是我不了解的謎題

 

有時候

我會感覺到自己

擱淺在錯誤的時空

愛情只是孩子哼唱的天真詞句

 

我怎麼會不累呢?

 

 

Crystal Ball 水晶球

 

Who is the man I see

Where I'm supposed to be?

I lost my heart, I buried it too deep

Under the iron sea

 

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

 

Lines ever more unclear

I'm not sure I'm even here

The more I look the more I think that I'm

Starting to disappear

 

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong

So put me where I belong

 

I don't know where I am

And I don't really care

I look myself in the eye

There's no one there

I fall upon the earth

I call upon the air

But all I get is the same old vacant stare

 

Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball

Save us all, tell me life is beautiful

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Oh, crystal ball, hear my song

I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong

So put me where I belong

 

Crystal Ball 中文歌詞: 

那個人是誰

我的未來是什麼

我的心死了

我把它埋葬了

藏在深海底

 

喔 水晶球 水晶球救救我

請告訴我 人生是美好的

魔鏡 魔鏡 告訴我

 

視線越來越模糊

不知道自己身在何處

當我越看越多 就越覺得

自己快要消失了

 

喔 水晶球 水晶球救救我

請告訴我 人生是美好的

魔鏡 魔鏡 告訴我

喔 水晶球 請聽聽我的歌

我就要消失了

我所知道的一切都是錯的

請告訴我 該往哪走

 

我不知道自己在哪裡

我也不是真的關心

當我看著自己的眼睛

並沒有誰在哪裡

當我的身體倒地

靈魂化成空氣

得到的 只是茫然的眼神而已

 

喔 水晶球 水晶球救救我

請告訴我 人生是美好的

魔鏡 魔鏡 告訴我

喔 水晶球 請聽聽我的歌

我就要消失了

我所知道的一切都是錯的

請告訴我 該往哪走

 

 

Nothing in My Way 風雨無阻

 

A turning tide

Lovers at a great divide

Why do you laugh

When I know that you hurt inside?

 

And why do you say

"It's just another day

Nothing in my way

I don't want to go

I don't want stay

So there's nothing left to say?"

And why do you lie

When you want die

When you hurt inside?

Don't know what you lie for anyway

Now there's nothing left to say

 

A tell-tale sign

You don't know where to draw the line

 

And why do you say

"It's just another day

Nothing in my way

I don't want to go

I don't want stay

So there's nothing left to say?"

And why do you lie

When you want die

When you hurt inside?

Don't know what you lie for anyway

Now there's nothing left to say

 

Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time

For a lonely soul, it seems to me

that you're having such a nice time

You're having such a nice time

 

Nothing in My Way中文歌詞:

潮來潮往

神聖的愛情

妳為什麼在笑呢?

妳不是正在心痛嗎?

 

為什麼 妳說

日子總是要過

風雨無阻

我不想走

卻也不想留下來

還有什麼話好說?

又為何選擇說謊呢?

當妳萬念俱灰

痛不欲生的時候

猜不透 為什麼還要說謊呢?

如今 又有什麼好說

 

顯然地

妳並不懂得適可而止

 

為什麼 妳說

日子總是要過

風雨無阻

我不想走

卻也不想留下來

還有什麼話好說?

又為何選擇說謊呢?

當妳萬念俱灰

痛不欲生的時候

猜不透 為什麼還要說謊呢?

如今 又有什麼好說

 

身為一個孤獨的靈魂 妳很快樂

身為一個孤獨的靈魂 妳很快樂

身為一個孤獨的靈魂 就我看來

妳的確很快樂

妳的確很快樂

 

 

A Bad Dream 惡夢

 

Why do I have to fly over every town up and down the line?

I'll die in the clouds above and you that I defend I do not love

 

I wake up,it's a bad dream,no one on my side

I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

 

Where will I meet my fate?

Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate

And when will I meet my end?

In a better time you could be my friend

 

I wake up, it's a bad dream no one on my side

I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side

But you're long gone,yes you're long gone now

 

Where do we go?

I don't even know my strange old face

And I'm thinking about those days

And I'm thinking about those days

 

I wake up, it's a bad dream,no one on my side

I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side

But you're long gone,yes you're long gone now

 

A Bad Dream中文歌詞:

為何我必須飛躍地圖上的每個城鎮

只為了不曾承認愛過的妳 而枉死雲端

 

當我醒來 發現只是場惡夢

身旁並沒有人

我試著抵抗 但卻無力抵抗

也許我從來不是屬於抵抗的人吧

 

該怎麼實現這愛的宿命呢?

我只是個男人 生為憎恨

故事的結局 又會是什麼呢?

好一點的話 至少我們會是朋友吧!

 

當我醒來 發現只是場惡夢

身旁並沒有人

我試著抵抗 但卻無力抵抗

也許我從來不是屬於抵抗的人吧

我當然不介意 如果妳躺在我身邊

但妳早已經走了 走到海角天邊

 

未來該怎麼走?

我快老到自己都不認得了

卻只能在這裡不斷回顧從前

卻只能在這裡不斷回顧從前

 

當我醒來 發現只是場惡夢

身旁並沒有人

我試著抵抗 但卻無力抵抗

也許我從來不是屬於抵抗的人吧

我當然不介意 如果妳躺在我身邊

但妳早已經走了 走到海角天邊

 

 

Try Again 再試一次

 

I fell asleep on a late night train

I missed my stop and I went round again

Why would I want to see you now?

To fix it up, make it up somehow

 

Baby I'll try again, try again

Baby I die every night, every time

 

What I was isn't what I am

I'd change back but I don't know if I can

 

Still I'll try, try again, try again

Baby I die every night, every time

 

But I was made the way I am

I'm not a stone; I'm just a man

Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine

Rip back the time that we've been wasting

 

God I wish you could see me now

You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out

 

Baby I'll try, try again

Baby I die every night, every time

 

Try Again 中文歌詞:

我在晚班車上睡著了

錯過了目的地 於是又再往回

為什麼我會這麼想見妳

也許是想補償 想做些什麼吧

 

親愛的 讓我們從頭開始 再來一遍

親愛的 妳讓我一直死而復活 每天每夜

 

過去種種譬如昨日死

我願意回到從前 但不知能不能實現

 

讓我還是想 從頭開始 再來一遍

親愛的 妳讓我一直死而復活 每天每夜

 

也許我就是這個樣子

我不是石頭 只是個男人而已

放下妳的雙手 我也不再抵抗

讓我們一起找回浪費了的時光

 

天阿 請問你有在看護我嗎

請你指引我 為我化解一切

 

親愛的 讓我們從頭開始 再來一遍

親愛的 妳讓我一直死而復活 每天每夜
