Only Acting

When I step onto the stage, see the curtain raise
當我登上舞台，看著帷幕升起
I'm apparent, I've got someone to play
我是透明的，我有要扮演的角色
All the crowd, they're in the seats
舞台下的人群，坐在他們的座位裡
Looking straight at me for an answer
直直地看向我，等待一個答案
They just get what they see
他們只能得到他們所看到的
They applaud and the usher's locking the door till the matinee
他們鼓掌，工作人員鎖上了門，直到午場的演出
So I get to know the cast, though it doesn't last
所以我認識了其他演員，不過這沒有持續多久
I'm a pro but I won 't take it too far
我是個專業的演員，但我不會太過認真
Now I know I shouldn't get comfy on the set
現在我知道了，我不應該在片場讓自己太舒服
Every time it all comes down when we end
每當我們迎來結尾，一切都結束了
That's the truth that the stage school doesn't teach you
這是戲劇學校沒有教給你的真相
But it's good to know
但是你需要記住這點
It takes much more than just learning the script
僅僅記住劇本是遠遠不夠的
You see, you gotta take the part and believe it
你看，你得進入你的劇本，相信發生的一切
Oh, I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot
哦，我有時會編撰所有的台詞
But I will always give what I got
但我總是盡心盡力
I thought I was only acting
我以為我只是在表演
But I felt exactly like it was all for real
但我卻感覺這一切都是真切的
I sure didn't know it hurt so
我也不知它會這樣傷人
But the rehearsal could show you how to feel inside
但排練會教給你如何去感受
What you gotta hide
告訴你你需要隱藏什麼
Where to put your pride
教會你如何對待你的驕傲
When to realize you've had your time
讓你意識到你已經有過了出場的時間
Find another role
換一個角色吧
Carry on the show
繼續這場表演
You should be able to feel a performance with your whole body and soul
你應該能夠用你的全部身心感受一場演出
Now I'm going to teach you everything
現在我要教會你一切
And you, and you, and you, and you
還有你，還有你，還有你，還有你
Oh, I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot
哦，我有時會編撰所有的台詞
