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

楼主的声音听起来很响亮很温柔呀，那种深情但又emo的感觉唱得好深刻，唱到心坎里了

很美，像是一场神话大战结束后，冒险已经到了尽头，大家各回各家，曾经的冒险者坐在庭院里回想之前的时光

感觉还不错啊，就是感觉没原唱那种空灵的感觉

商人弗霖打开异界的百宝袋，袋口微光一闪，一枚【黑色方块】轻巧地蹦了出来。

蠻神的, 的確是一位能和剛出海底隧道的打雷打對台的她歌手

感觉好厉害呀，原唱和翻唱各有各的韵味呢
