歌词信息：

My honey's heart is blue and a second offbeat
我的爱人内心忧郁心跳总是慢一拍
Always tugging at me like he's running out of daylight
紧紧拉着我仿佛他时间所剩无几
Yeah, my baby acts cool, but they all know something ain't right, ain't right
亲爱的他总是强装镇定但所有人都能看出不对劲不对劲
Know something ain't right
都能看出不对劲
Only acting this cool when he's walking with me
只有走在我身边时他才表现得那样镇定
1998, forever and a day
1998年就像是永远
I keep the pictures hanging where the world can see 'em
我把那些相片挂在全世界都能看到的地方
I hope I die today
我宁愿在今天就死去
Save me from another late night of red eyes
这样我再也不用红着眼眶熬过一个深夜
But then the morning comes
但晨曦接踵而至
You were there looking for me, but I
你会在那寻找我但我
I was gone, turned my back for a moment, and
我已经离开只是暂时背过身去
You had fallen apart
你却已经崩溃
They've been promising the lights as we beg for our lives
他们曾在我们乞讨生存时许诺为我们点亮希望的光
Selling pages of the times we've been waiting on
兜售我们期待已久的一页页时光
Now the weight's too much, and I can't hold you anymore
可如今肩负太多重担我已无力拥抱你
How much of a cruel year can you call my fault? (You call my fault?)
你怎么能把这残酷的一年都归咎于我一人
Not even the memories are immortal
就连回忆都无法永远存在
Terrified on this side of a conversation
这场谈话让我感到无比恐惧
A conversation we'll never come back from
一场我们再也回不去的交谈
I'll never live it down if I never get around it
如果走不出来那我永远也无法释怀
'Cause goddammit, I did it to myself in hindsight
真该死我后知后觉其实是我在自作自受
I liked him 'cause his rule was "Do whatever you like," and I tried alright
我喜欢他因为随心所欲是他的原则我也这么去试过
Now I'll wear these scars for life
而现在我将一生背负这些伤痕
I loved you when it hurt inside to
我爱你尽管这让我心痛
But in the low light
但在这微弱的灯光下
You know I'd do anything for you
你知道我愿为你做任何事
You know I'd do anything for you
你知道我愿为你做任何事
You know it's true 'cause I've said it to you
你知道我是真心的因为我曾对你说过
Held in my arms, I swore I'd be good to you, be good to you (Be good to you)
我曾将你拥入怀抱发誓会好好待你好好待你
And then sat and watched
却只能坐着看你
As you walked away from me (From me)
一步步离我远去
From me
离我远去
Yeah, you've changed, but did I ever know you?
你是变了但我有真正了解过你吗
Or did I hold you facing away from me?
还是说我始终拥抱着的是你的背影
The air in your room never moves
你房间里的气息不曾改变
Live and die by the TV, no one's watching
守在电视机前生老病死却无人观看
Do you hate me?
你讨厌我吗
When this is over
或许在一切都结束后
Maybe then, we'll get some sleep
我们才能够安然入睡
I've been picking names for our children
我一直在给我们的孩子起名字
You've been wondering how you're gonna feed them
而你却在思索怎么将他们抚养长大
Love is not enough in this world
在这世上爱是远远不够的
But I still believe in Nebraska dreamin'
但我仍坚信内布拉斯加的梦想
'Cause I'd rather die
若无法成为你的女孩
Than be anything but your girl
我还不如死去
I never meant to hurt you
我从未想过伤害你
But somehow, I knew I would
但不知为何还是无法避免
Will it be like this forever? Forever? (Forever? Forever?)
难道我们会永远这样纠缠下去吗
I'd reach into your body and fix you if I could
如果有机会我会伸手抚平你身体的伤痛
Will I feel like this forever? Forever? (Forever? Forever?)
难道我会永远感受这种痛楚吗
Are you angry?
你生气了吗
Do you hate me?
你恨我吗
And darling, time may forgive me, but I won't
亲爱的时间或许原谅我但我不会
Ah
You know I'd do anything for you
你知道我愿为你做任何事
You know it's true 'cause I've said it to you
你知道我是真心的因为我曾对你说过
Held in my arms, I swore I'd be good to you, be good to you (Be good to you)
我曾将你拥入怀抱发誓会好好待你好好待你
Then sat and watched
却只能坐着看你
As you walked away from me (From me)
一步步离我远去
So I bled till I cried
我血流不止直到流下眼泪
Till I felt I might die
直到我感觉自己快要死去
To be known the way you should is
想要被真正理解
To put yourself through hell, hell
就得先坠入地狱地狱
Still I waited and tried
我依旧等待着竭尽全力
Till it killed me, 'cause you're right (I can wait if I want)
因为你是对的
I can wait if I want
如果我想我会等下去
But it'll never be good enough like I want to believe it is (It is, it is, ooh, it is)
但这样也永远无法达到我想象中那么美好

【个人心得】

Hello大家，许久不见，这次给大家带来的是我最近十分喜欢的一首歌曲《Waco, Texas》。在初听这张专辑的时候，我首先注意到的是Janie/F**k me eyes/Nettles这些歌曲，而这首歌由于过长的时长并未能好好品味，最近重新捡起来听突然就理解了这首歌内含的意义。要聊这首歌很难不从整个专辑的角度出发，《Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You》是她上一张专辑《Preacher's Daughter》的前传，故事背景在一个落后的南方小镇，而虚构的艺术人格Ethel Cain则出生于一个宗教家庭。而在这样压抑的环境下成长的她，经历了好友Janie的恋爱，在恐惧朋友被夺走的情绪中终结了一段友谊，又在F**k me eyes中对于美貌放荡的女孩投去不解的眼神；而当她与Willoughby迅速坠入爱河后，就完全沉浸进了自己的恋爱幻想中，直至Nettles中的工厂事故发生，Willoughby的生命即将走向尽头，在这样的变故中，沉浸于理想爱情而陷入恐慌的Ethel最后又做了她对Janie所做的事：逃离，在多年后，对于这段感情的思考，便凝结成了这首《Waco, Texas》。歌词的前半部分是热恋时期的回忆，而后面则是自己内心的呐喊，对于过去的忏悔。这样的编排让这首歌虽然时间上长，但是却不显得过于冗余，反而提供了一个沉浸式的氛围。喜欢大家喜欢
