歌词信息：

I can't recall the last time that we talked
我記不起上一次我們聊天是什麼時候了
About anything but looking out for cops
除了聊著要提防警察以外
We got cigarette burns in the same side of our hands, we ain't friends
我們手上的同個位置都有菸疤，但我們不是朋友
We're just morons, who broke skin in the same spot
我們只是在同個地方弄傷皮膚的傻瓜
But I've never seen you take a turn that wide
但我從未見過你失控得那麼嚴重
And I'm high enough to still care if I die
而我還算清醒，清醒到還會在乎自己的生死
So I tried to read the thoughts that you'd worked overtime to stop
我試著讀取那些你拼命想壓抑的念頭
You said, "Fuck off," and I said nothin' for a while
你說了聲「滾開」，而我一陣子沒再說話
You know I think about you all the time
你知道我一直都在想著你
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
以及我對你生活那深深刻刻的誤解
And how bad it must have been for you back then
還有當年你的日子過得有多糟
And how hard it was to keep it all inside
要把這一切憋在心裡該有多難
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
我希望你能安定下來，希望你嫁入豪門
I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
希望你只會害怕那些平凡的鳥事
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
像是殺人犯、鬼魂，或是皮膚上的癌症
And not your soul and what He might do with it
而不是為了你的靈魂，或上帝會如何處置它而擔憂
You inched yourself across the great divide
當我們在州界線漫無目的地開著車時
While we drove aimlessly along the Twin State line
你正一點一滴地挪向那道巨大的鴻溝
I heard nothing but the bass in every ballad that you'd play
我只聽到你放的每首民謠裡的貝斯聲
While you swore to God the singer read your mind
而你向上帝發誓，那歌手讀透了你的心
But the world is scared of hesitating things
但這世界害怕猶豫不決的事物
Yeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot sing
是的，人們只會射殺那些不會唱歌的鳥
And I'm finally aware of how shitty and unfair
我終於意識到，那時只會直視前方、假裝一切太平的我
It was to stare ahead like everything was fine
是多麼地糟糕且不公平
You know I think about you all the time
你知道我一直都在想著你
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
以及我對你生活那深深刻刻的誤解
And how bad it must have been for you back then
還有當年你的日子過得有多糟
And how hard it was to keep it all inside
要把這一切憋在心裡該有多難
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
我希望你能安定下來，希望你嫁入豪門
I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
希望你只會害怕那些平凡的鳥事
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
像是殺人犯、鬼魂，或是皮膚上的癌症
And not your soul and what He might do with it
而不是為了你的靈魂，或上帝會如何處置它而擔憂
Ah, Lord
Rage, in small ways
憤怒，以微小的方式顯現
Did you wish that I could know
你是否曾希望我能察覺？
That you'd fade to some place
察覺你即將消逝在某個
I wasn't brave enough to go?
我沒有勇氣前往的地方
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
我希望你能安定下來，希望你嫁入豪門
I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
希望你只會害怕那些平凡的鳥事
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
像是殺人犯、鬼魂，或是皮膚上的癌症
And not your soul and what He might do with it
而不是為了你的靈魂，或上帝會如何處置它而擔憂
Ah (Ah), woah
Ah
Ah, Lord
Ah
I hope you threw a brick right into that stained glass
我希望你曾朝那彩色玻璃投擲磚塊
I hope you're with someone who isn't scared to ask
我希望你身邊的人，是個不害怕開口關心你的人
I hope that you're not losing sleep about what's next
我希望你不再為「接下來會發生什麼」而失眠
Or about your soul and what He might do with it
或是為了你的靈魂，以及祂會如何處置它而煩惱

【个人心得】

由Noah Kahan所演唱的流行民謠歌曲The Great Divide，作為即將在4/14的專輯"The Great Divide"中發行的曲目之一，取得了優秀的用戶樂評與商業成績。初聽Noah Kahan還是在2024年，他與Post Malone的合作曲目Dial Drunk成功登上了告示牌美榜的前五十，而當時他的專輯"Stick Season"也相當好聽。
這首新歌除了依然保留了好聽的旋律外，歌詞也相當優秀。人們即使在各種事上有相當多的共同點，也不代表兩人能夠互相理解，儘管在物理的距離上兩人仍舊相近，心靈上的距離卻漸行漸遠。到了最後，終究無法走進對方心房的兩人，只能向對方送上平凡的祝福，並期望對方遇上更適合的人。生活中偶而能遇到明明想要關心明顯狀態不佳的朋友，但卻找不到合適的方法。希望每個人都能夠找到適合自己的那個人，讓心中的煩惱有個傾訴的出口。
