- Radical Face The Mute 歌詞
- Radical Face
- Well as a child I mostly spoke inside my head
兒時的我總喜歡在內心與人交談
I had conversations with the clouds the dogs the dead
在我的腦海裡我能與雲朵或犬隻亦或逝去之人談心
And they thought my broken that my tongue was coated lead
他們都覺得這種缺陷讓我的舌頭塗上了鉛水
But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them
但我只不過無法用語言讓他們理解我的話語
If you only listen with your ears I can't get in
如果你只懂得用耳朵去識人，那我永遠也無法融入進你們
And I spent my evenings pulling stars out of the sky
每天晚上我都會把星星從天空摘下來
And I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lie
並把它們安置在我的躺在的草坪上
And in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant lives
悠悠地品嚐著對未來生活的甜蜜夢想
And I would dress myself up in them through the night
這種期望讓我熬過了每一個夜晚
While my folks would sleep in separate beds and wonder why
而我的伙伴們會在他們的床上詫異地思考我的行為
And through them days I was a ghost atop my chair
但對他們來說我只不過是某張椅子上的幽靈
My dad considered me a cross he had to bear
我的父親覺得我是他需要背負的十字架
And in my head I'd sing apologies and stare
望著他我只能在腦海裡輕哼著抱歉的音詞
As my mom would hang the clothes across the line
當我的媽媽在晾衣上繩時
And she would try to keep the empty from her eyes
她總會試著抹去眼裡的空虛
So then one afternoon I dressed myself alone
在某天下午我獨自穿好了衣裳
I packed my pillowcase with everything I owned
把擁有的一切都放進了一個枕套裡
And in my head I said goodbye then I was gone
臨走前我在心裡對他們說了聲再見
And I set out on the heels of the unknown
我做好對面對一切未知的準備
So my folks could have a new life of their own
為了讓我的伙伴們都能過上他們的新生活
So that maybe I could find someone
為了讓我能找到某個
Who could hear the only words that I'd known
可以理解我唯一懂得說的那句話的人
