今天想和大家分享凤凰之子Illenium的歌曲《Take You Down》。
Illenium原名Nicholas Miller,是美国音乐人、DJ。2008年初,他开始制作电子舞曲;2012年,他正式出道,凭借大量优秀的原创和混音作品收获一批粉丝。
Illenium曾深陷毒瘾,对生活失去热情,也失去了方向。所幸那段黑暗的时光里还有支持和包容他的家人,尤其是他的母亲。Illenium根据这段经历写下《Take You Down》。那句含糊的“You're all I love, you're all I love”就像是被毒瘾控制时的他,有些神志不清,痛苦焦虑;歌词“high”和“fall”是双关语:“high”是吸毒后亢奋的状态,而“fall”是吸毒后的堕落和沉沦。
Illenium名字的logo和大多数的专辑封面都有着涅磐重生的凤凰,他希望能用音乐鼓励和治愈饱受磨砺的人们。
一起来欣赏这首歌的歌词吧~
I didn't mean to hurt you when I hurt myself
当我一味作贱自己时,并不曾想让你因我受伤
It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
不过是个空洞的声音,在无力地呼唤求助
No I didn't mean to scare you
不,我并不想让你惧怕这不堪的我
But I couldn’t see
但我没有意识到
That when I went to hell
当我沉沦于这地狱时
I was taking you with me
竟也将你拖入了万丈深渊
When I close my eyes
每当我闭上双眼
I'm climbing in the dark
我都仿佛在无边黑暗中向上攀爬
Trying not to fall apart
竭力不让自己失足而粉身碎骨
Sometimes I get so high
有时我爬得太高
Falling is the only out I see
跌落便似乎是我能够看到的唯一一种结局
And I don't wanna take you down with me
但我真心不愿你因我陷入忧虑与恐惧
You're all I love, you're all I love
你是我深爱的唯一
Take you down, take you down with me
我不愿让你与我一同坠入痛苦的深渊
Take you down, take you down, take you down
我不愿让你与我一同沉沦
Down with me
与我一同沉沦
This life is like a razor
生活犹如锋利的刀刃
When it cuts I bleed
将我划伤,让我血流不止
But it's in my hand
其实这利刃就在我的掌心之中
And I'm doing it to me
我不过是在自作自受罢了
Sometimes it's like an ocean
有时我好像沉入了深不见底的汪洋
And it gets too deep
被湮没至深,挣扎窒息
And there's no way now you could rescue me
你已无法拯救病入膏肓的我
When I close my eyes
每当我紧闭双眼
I’m fighting in the dark
我都似在与黑暗搏斗
Trying not to break your heart
努力不想令你心碎
Sometimes I get so high
有时我爬得太高
Falling is the only out I see
跌落便似乎是我能够看到的唯一一种结局
And I don’t wanna take you down with me
但我真心不愿你因我陷入忧虑与恐惧
You need to let it go now
现在请你放弃病入膏肓的我
Before you drown
在我拖累你之前,离开我的生活
I know that you won't understand
你不会理解的,我已无药可救
You need to let go of this hand
请你放开我的手,任我自生自灭
Cause I'm gone now
因为我正走向万丈深渊
And I don't wanna take you down with me
真心不愿你因我陷入忧虑与恐惧
And I don't wanna take you down with me
我不愿让你与我一同沉沦
Take you down, down with me
不愿让你与我一同坠入痛苦的深渊
