Cassandra（卡桑德拉）歌词翻译

I was in my new house placing daydreams

我搬到了新家，幻想着美好的未来

Patching up the crack along the wall

我修补着墙壁上的裂缝

I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying

我继续着努力生活，逐渐忘却了理智

'Cause that's where I was when I got the call

因为我就在那时接受了重要的使命

When the first stone's thrown there's screamin'

人们开始朝着对方扔石头，尖叫声四起

In the streets there's a ragin' riot

街区上爆发了狂热的暴乱

When it's burn the bitch they're shrieking

众人高呼着：烧死那个女人！

When the truth comes out it's quiet

然而当真相大白之时，现场却鸦雀无声

So they killed Cassandra first

所以他们先杀死了卡桑德拉（注释1）

'Cause she feared the worst

因为她预言了未来的悲惨之处

And tried to tell the town

她还试图将真相告诉所有人

So they filled my cell with snakes I regret to say

所以他们将我丢进牢房，用威吓和恐惧填满小小的空间，而我后悔说出一切

Do you believe me now

你现在相信我了吗

I was in my tower weaving nightmares

我被束之高阁，独自编织着最可怕的噩梦

Twisting all my smiles into snarls

把我所有的微笑都化为咆哮

They say what doesn't kill you makes you aware

人们说：那些杀不死你的东西让你警醒

What happens if it becomes who you are

可是如果恐惧都成为了你的一部分，该如何是好？

They knew they knew they knew the whole time

That I was onto somethin'

我一直在努力

The family the pure greed the Christian chorus line

无论是家人，还是天真的人，贪婪的人，基督教虔诚的唱诗班的人啊

They all said nothin'

在需要作证之时，他们保持沉默

Blood's thick but nothin' like a payroll

血虽浓于水，却无法强过金钱的诱惑

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul

In a mourning warning no one heard

注释1: "Cassandra" 是一个源自古希腊神话的人名，她是特洛伊国王普里亚摩斯的女儿。Cassandra 被赋予了预知未来的能力，但同时也被诅咒：她的预言永远不会被人相信。这个故事常常被用来形容那些预见到危机或问题，但却无法说服他人的人。在一个更广泛的语境中，Cassandra 可能象征着被忽视的真相，或者是那些被社会忽视的警告和信息。
