《Should Have Known Better》歌词:
[00:00.300]
[00:20.510]I should have known better
[00:21.740]
[00:23.090]To see what I could see
[00:24.540]
[00:25.910]My black shroud
[00:27.600]
[00:28.580]Holding down my feelings
[00:29.850]
[00:30.940]A pillar for my enemies
[00:32.110]
[00:38.960]I should have wrote a letter
[00:40.310]
[00:41.400]And grieve what I happen to grieve
[00:42.800]
[00:44.330]My black shroud
[00:45.780]
[00:46.530]I never trust my feelings
[00:48.250]
[00:49.450]I waited for the remedy
[00:50.430]
[00:57.560]When I was three, three maybe four
[01:01.518]
[01:02.398]She left us at that video store
[01:05.310]
[01:07.408]Be my rest, be my fantasy
[01:09.468]
[01:12.560]Be my rest, be my fantasy
[01:14.929]
[01:39.099]I'm light as a feather
[01:40.569]
[01:42.378]I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
[01:43.940]
[01:45.050]My black shroud
[01:46.750]
[01:47.530]Frightened by my feelings
[01:48.660]
[01:50.110]I only wanna be a relief
[01:51.300]
[01:57.440]No, I'm not a go-getter
[01:58.840]
[02:00.759]The demon had a spell on me
[02:02.209]
[02:03.487]My black shroud
[02:05.158]
[02:05.878]Captain of my feelings
[02:07.670]
[02:08.568]The only thing I wanna believe
[02:09.699]
[02:16.800]When I was three, and free to explore
[02:20.337]
[02:21.699]I saw her face on the back of the door
[02:23.988]
[02:26.587]Be my rest, be my fantasy
[02:28.837]
[02:31.587]Be my rest, be my fantasy
[02:34.139]
[03:01.330]I should have known better
[03:02.580]
[03:03.949]Nothing can be changed
[03:05.449]
[03:06.580]The past is still the past
[03:08.138]
[03:09.110]The bridge to nowhere
[03:10.027]
[03:11.897]I should have wrote a letter
[03:13.217]
[03:17.139]Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
[03:20.708]
[03:22.617]Don't back down, concentrate on seeing
[03:26.687]
[03:27.708]The breakers in the bar, the neighbor's greeting
[03:31.187]
[03:32.967]My brother had a daughter
[03:33.967]
[03:38.460]The beauty that she brings, illumination
[03:41.860]
[03:43.710]Don't back down, there is nothing left
[03:48.860]The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
[03:52.647]
[03:53.770]I'm a fool in the fetter
[03:54.937]
[03:59.508]Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me
[04:03.057]
[04:04.617]Don't back down, nothing can be changed
[04:09.050]
[04:09.927]Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
[04:13.538]
[04:15.169]My brother had a daughter
[04:16.189]
[04:20.458]The beauty that she brings, illumination
[04:24.420]
[00:00.300]
[00:20.510]我早就应该明白一些事情
[00:21.740]
[00:23.090]看清那些我能看清的事(这里疑似儿歌的引用Reference:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Sailor_Went_to_Sea)
[00:24.540]
[00:25.910]我黑色的裹尸布啊
[00:27.600]
[00:28.580]压抑着我的情绪
[00:29.850]
[00:30.940]这是敌人们的胜利(敌人喻指心中的抑郁与忧伤)
[00:32.110]
[00:38.960]我早就应该写一封信
[00:40.310]
[00:41.400]去为那些我偶然伤心的事而伤心
[00:42.800]
[00:44.330]我黑色的裹尸布啊
[00:45.780]
[00:46.530]我从不相信自己的感觉
[00:48.250]
[00:49.450]只是静静地等待救赎
[00:50.430]
[00:57.560]在我三岁那年,也可能是四岁吧
[01:01.518]
[01:02.398]在那间音像店,她离开了我们
[01:05.310]
[01:07.408]就让这一切沉寂吧
[01:09.468]
[01:12.560]就让这一切存在于我的幻想中吧
[01:14.929]
[01:39.099]我轻如翎羽
[01:40.569]
[01:42.378]明亮如俄勒冈的轻风
[01:43.940]
[01:45.050]我黑色的裹尸布啊
[01:46.750]
[01:47.530]我不敢直面自己的情感
[01:48.660]
[01:50.110]只想寻求一丝解脱
[01:51.300]
[01:57.440]不是的,我并不是一个呼风唤雨、顺风顺水的人
[01:58.840]
[02:00.759]恶魔在我身上下了咒语
[02:02.209]
[02:03.487]我黑色的裹尸布啊
[02:05.158]
[02:05.878]那位掌控我所有情感的船长
[02:07.670]
[02:08.568]才是我唯一想要相信的人
[02:09.699]
[02:16.800]我还是三岁的时候,正是无拘无束探索世界的时候
[02:20.337]
[02:21.699]我在门后看见了她的面庞
[02:23.988]
[02:26.587]就让这一切沉寂吧
[02:28.837]
[02:31.587]就让这一切存在于我的幻想中吧
[02:34.139]
[03:01.330]我早就应该明白一些事情
[03:02.580]
[03:03.949]没有什么再能被改变
[03:05.449]
[03:06.580]过去的事,已经过去了
[03:08.138]
[03:09.110]无处可通的桥(此处指Astoria–Megler Bridge,这座桥被一个洛杉矶时报作家称为是对纳税人钱的巨大浪费,这里比喻Sufjan努力拼凑、理解那些杂乱的对母亲的印象,也是一种徒劳)
[03:10.027]
[03:11.897]我早就应该写一封信
[03:13.217]
[03:17.139]倾诉我的感受,那种空虚的感觉
[03:20.708]
[03:22.617]别再反悔了,仔细地去看看吧
[03:26.687]
[03:27.708]看看(哥伦比亚)河带里的巨浪,(多么壮阔而美丽),留心邻居的问候,(微不足道却温暖人心)
[03:31.187]
[03:32.967]我的哥哥有一个女儿
[03:33.967]
[03:38.460]她的美丽啊,熠熠闪光
[03:41.860]
[03:43.710]别再反悔了,过去已经没有什么剩下了
[03:48.860]看看(哥伦比亚)河带里的巨浪,(多么危险难料啊),没有理由存在下去(这里巨浪不再壮阔美丽,而是危险与死亡的象征)
[03:52.647]
[03:53.770]我是个给自己套上镣铐的傻子啊(镣铐比喻Sufjan的悲伤)
[03:54.937]
[03:59.508]艾伦胡须(即金丝桃)间的玫瑰啊,那儿你能找到我的踪迹(这里用了圣经里的典故,一语双关,既象征家人团聚的欣喜,现实中这种植物有抗抑郁的化学物质,喻指Sufjan正在通过和家人共处避免抑郁)
[04:03.057]
[04:04.617]别再反悔了,没有什么可以被改变了
[04:09.050]
[04:09.927]悬臂的桥梁,喝醉的水手(这里可能涉及Sufjan的某个过往回忆,这样的场景中很可能发生了令人后悔的事,与副歌三段首句相呼应。值得注意的是,悬臂桥只由一端支撑,另一端通向空中)
[04:13.538]
[04:15.169]我的哥哥有一个女儿
[04:16.189]
[04:20.458]她的美丽啊,熠熠闪光
[04:24.420]
