Blue Lines

Cant be with the one you love then love the one youre with
不能與你愛的人在一起，就珍惜你身邊的人
Spliff in the ashtray red stripe I pull the lid
煙灰缸裡的da/ma卷，開蓋的紅紋啤酒（red stripe為啤酒品牌）
Her especially touch tickles when shes gentle
她溫柔的愛撫多麼愉悅

音樂朦朧，她的呢喃模糊
But I dont hear her words cause I saw the instrumental
和女孩兒保持距離，這舞步迷離
Keep the girl in the distance moves are very hazy
我的生活從不陽光，像走在陰影裡
No sunshine in my life the way I deal is shady
跳過流行符碼，反物質在召喚
Skip hip data to get the anti-matter
這張專輯即將造成宗廟倒坍（可能指挑戰主流說唱的地位）
Blue lines are the reason why the temple had to shatter
引力坍縮，向寂靜之聲躍遷
To the sound of silence surrounded by the mass
人潮中恍惚見她臉龐輝映於菸捲紙（吸食的幻覺）
Her face is on the paper not the strangers that I pass
我回頭觀望的人是否也在回頭看我
The ones Im looking back to see if they are looking back at me
你是獵人還是獵物
Are you predator or do you fear me
沒錯此時我心裡清楚
Yeah while Im doing this I know
我真正想去的地方
The place I really wanna gos
真正愛的人卻永遠觸不可及
The one I love but never gets near me
這看起來是美好的一天
Its a beautiful day well it seems as such
白日夢雖美但終究虛幻
Beautiful thoughts whereas I dream too much
即便對你傾吐，你仍對我一無所知
Even if I told you you still would not know me
Tricky從不xi/du，Adrian總落得孤獨（trip hop大師Tricky在本專輯時期仍與massive attack合作，後關係破裂單飛。 Adrian為其本名）
Tricky never does adrian mostly gets lonely
荒誕的世界上我們何以存在
How we live in this existence just being
加勒比地區出身，英國長大(整個組合基本都是移民，如Daddy G西印度出身)

這就是我們組合的方式
English upbringing background carribean
分享著獨白
Its the way that we bui-l-d
從不停滯，我們靈活無比
Sharing a soliloquy
我的名字是3D（意大利語，massvie attack中的3D是意大利移民後代）
We cut the broken thread from flexibility
生活從不陽光因為我習慣朦朧（指xi/du）

但一天天卻總是那麼機敏
Mi chiamo 3D si sono Inglese
當我的同輩們還在昏睡
No sunshine in my life cause the way I deal is hazy
她從透鏡中看過來
Live from day to day-zy cause Im on my toes
愛恨交織是她對我的感情
While contemporaries of mine remaining comatose
謊言使我丟失信念

於是向她去把信念重拾
Theres a looking glass shes looking through
她告誡我找份工作，否則我會頹廢致死

現在我成了個朝九晚五的社畜，天天想著鬼混（lemon在19世紀俚語中指的是Loser，Lime指的是hang out）
She hated me but then she loved me too
做事有靈性，井井有條（watch your system come together實在不懂）
Id lie not try so I lost faith
糟糕的天氣，偏偏在我最累的時候到來
Then turn to her to keep the faith
Massive來了（殺手）
She told me take an occupation or you lose your mind
攻占四方（殺手）
Now Im a nine to five lemon looking for the lime
在大本營時則行動輕盈
Box clever watch your system come together
右手握著棘齒
Crazy weather at the end of my tether
他們找不到人去刺殺
Massive in the area murderer
散散步吧比利別想著做英雄
Attackin any area murderer
幾乎不付出努力
Some go softly softly round the habitat
被逐出兄弟會

像一個無人能解的謎語般孤獨漫步
Ratchet in the right hand
車漆成藍色，配綠色底漆再鍍鋅
They got no one to stab it at
追求極端，添上紫和粉（分別隱喻mrijuana和sx）
Take a walk Billy dont be a hero
雨水淅瀝瀝，房間裡色彩斑斕（起飛了）

雨滴打在窗台上令我難以忍受（敏感的幻覺）
Efforts on minimal though almost touch zero
它們抹去了我靈魂的陰影連一點印跡都不留下
Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man
在黑暗中留下一抹彩虹（英文歌詞有誤，dark在句尾）
To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram
藥效增強，視覺渙散（blue指的是valium藍色安定藥片）

省下足夠的空間進入神秘博士的時光機
Car paint blue green primer and zinc
我們將拖走達倫大廳里扔下的東西（darrens hall未知其意義）
Take it to extremities for purple and pink
人們在宣告所有權
I feel the colours fill my room beneath the patter of the rain
風暴來臨
I cant stand the drops that dribble down my windowpane
但你生活在蹺蹺板上

我想要看到更多
They wash away my shadow and dont even leave a mark upon my soul
有人死了嗎？是他？ -沒有
They darkleave the rainbows in the
走在陽光下，我們依舊在蹚水
Blues get big Massive are even larger
因果之子在尋找著女兒
Save nuff space into the tricky tardis
保持求知，但與上流社會格格不入
Wed trawl what I saw thrown down in darrens hall
我的索尼boodo khan耳機，聆聽銀傳導的音樂
People laying their claim
太陽係以其智慧觀測一切
In stormy weather its rain
月光親吻的孩子全跳舞
But youre living on a see-saw
Massive attack，亞光黑的珠串
I try to see more
兩小時的旅程，我寫這首歌就像乘坐阿斯頓·馬丁Rapide
Somebody died did he Nobody
人們習慣跳躍，總是快節奏的生活

飛暈了的時候我就大罵一通（walter crumpy是美國腹語表演家傑夫·鄧納姆的暴躁老頭傀儡，gruggy指有du癮的）
Walking on sunshine but still were treading water
麥克風在面前，觀眾遙遠
The son of many reasons searching for the daughter
傳遞我的心意，在你心口籤上我的名
Seeking knowledge not acknowledging the jetset
Silver papers of the sound within my Boodo Khan headset

The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the moonlight kissed them
To Massive attack Matt Black appear wearing beads
Two hours traveling so I wrote this on Rapide
Always living fast people getting jumpy
Where on gruggy falls I just do the walter crumpy
Microphone so close crowd so far apart
Take my piece of mind and sign my name heartacross your
