爱向弱 发布于 2024-05-12 659 次阅读

Was any of it true

过去种种，可否有一丝一毫真实之处？
Gazing at me starry-eyed
你用充满憧憬和爱意的眼神看着我
In your Jehovah's Witness suit
你身着耶和华见证人的外衣（注释1）
Who the fuck was that guy
可是这个人到底是谁，为何我如此陌生？
You tried to buy some pills
你想要从我朋友的朋友那里
From a friend of friends of mine
买一些药粉
They just ghosted you
可是他们却突然对你蒸发不见
Now you know what it feels like
现在，你也明白这样被对待之后会作何感受了
And I don't even want you back I just want to know
我并不想要你回来，我只是想要知道
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
如果你的目标是毁掉我闪着光芒的美好夏天
And I don't miss what we had but could someone give
对于我们共度的时光，我没有丝毫想念，可是能否有人告诉你
A message to the smallest man who ever lived
告诉你，你就是这世界上存在过的最小的男人
You hung me on your wall
你把我的画像挂在墙上
Stabbed me with your push pins
用你的纤细的大头钉把我刺穿
In public showed me off
在公众面前，你向众人炫耀着我
Then sank in stoned oblivion
你沉缅于无尽的遗忘之中（译者：指沉迷于药物）
'Cause once your queen had come
因为，曾经属于你的皇后站在在你身边
You'd treat her like an also-ran
可是你对待她就像对待一个不重要的配角（注释2）
You didn't measure up
无论用哪种方法去评价一个男人
In any measure of a man
你都远达不到合格
And I don't even want you back I just want to know
我并不想要你回来，我只是想要知道
If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
哪怕毁掉我闪着光芒的夏日就是你的目标
And I don't miss what we had but could someone give
可对于我们共度的时光，我没有丝毫想念，可是能否有人可以
A message to the smallest man who ever lived
告诉你，你是这世界上存在过的最小的男人
Were you sent by someone
难道你是那个想要取我性命的人
Who wanted me dead
派来接近我的吗？
Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed
在我们共眠的床下，你是否还放着一把枪？
Were you writing a book
你是否和我在一起是为了写书获得灵感？
Were you a sleeper cell spy
你是否是一个潜伏着的间谍？
In fifty years will all this be declassified
无论如何，五十年后，这一切都会昭然若揭
And you'll confess why you did it
你会坦白，你所做的一切究竟为何
And I'll say "Good riddance"
我则会轻描淡写地说一句"好走不送"
'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden
因为如果不是禁忌，我们之间的关系就失去了魔力
I would've died for your sins
曾经，我也愿意为了你的罪孽去牺牲性命
Instead I just died inside
然而，到头来，只有我的内心死去了
And you deserve prison but you won't get time
你本应给被关进监狱，可是你不会获得任何惩罚
You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars
你会狡猾地脱身，溜进酒吧，摆脱审判和制裁
You crashed my party and your rental car
你闯进了我的派对，用你租来的豪车带我走
You said normal girls were "boring"
你说，普通的女孩太过"无聊"
But you were gone by the morning
可是等到日出之时，你就会离开
You kicked out the stage lights but you're still performing
你破坏了舞台上的灯光，但是仍然没有放弃表演
And in plain sight you hid
在大众的目光之下，你尽管隐瞒自己
But you are what you did
可是我早已看穿真实的你是怎样的
And I'll forget you but I'll never forgive
我也许会忘记，但我永远不会原谅
The smallest man who ever lived

不会原谅这个世界上最小的那个男人

注释1: 这句歌词可能是在描述这个人的外表或者身份，耶和华见证人是一个基督教派别，他们通常会穿着正式的西装去传教。这句歌词可能表示这个人是一个耶和华见证人，或者他的外表或者行为让主角联想到耶和华见证人。

注释2："Also-ran"这个词源自赛马术语，用来描述那些在比赛中没有赢得前三名的马。在更广泛的语境中，"also-ran"被用来指代那些在任何竞争中没有取得重大成功的人或事物。因此，当歌词中说"You'd treat her like an also-ran"时，意思是说那人开始时把女主角视为重要的人（比如一位"皇后"），但是后来却对待她就像对待一个失败者或者是不重要的人。
