Ladder Song

Lorde - Ladder Song


No one knows where the ladder goes
沒人知曉這樓梯通向何處
You're gonna lose what you love the most
你將會失去你最愛的人
You're not alone in anything
總之你並不會孤獨
You're not unique in dying
因為你並不是唯一死去的人

I feel estranged every now and then
常常感覺這是奇怪的生活
Fall asleep reading science fiction
讀著科幻小說入睡
I wanna fly in your silver ship
我想飛入你的銀船
Let my momma hang and my sister sit
讓我的媽媽還有Bud可以去坐一坐

It's on now
就是此刻
the days are long now
白晝是那麼的漫長
The ups and the sun down
日出日落
And the twisting mind
扭曲的心靈
If I gotta go first
如果我必須先離開
I'll do it on my terms
我會堅持我的原則
I'm tired of traitors
我厭倦了那些
Always changing sides
再三背叛的叛徒
They were friends of mine
他們曾是我的朋友

Don't hang around once the promise breaks
承諾背棄時就不要再猶豫不決
Or you'll be there when the next one's made
你會迎來下個承諾
Kiss the feet of a charlatan
親吻那騙子的雙腳感謝他們塑造了你
Some imagine freedom
給自己一些幻想的自由

All the rest is predictable
其他的都可預見
Trying your hardest to melt the snow
你會努力擠出微笑
Tie the knots to concentrate
打結匯聚
Keep on pulling that rope will break
繼續拉扯那即將斷裂的繩子

We'll welcome the new age
我們將迎接新世界的到來
Covered in war paint
覆蓋著戰士的裝飾
Lights from the jungle to the sky
燈光從叢林投到天空

See now a star bursts
看星光閃現
Looks just like a blood orange
像是帶著血色的橙光
Don't it just make you wanna cry
這會不會讓你想失聲痛哭
Precious friend of mine
我珍貴的朋友

Will I know when it's finally done
我知道這最終完結
This whole life of hallucination
整個人生就像是一場錯覺
You're not alone in anything
總之你並不會孤獨
You're not alone in trying to be
並不只是你孤獨的嘗試
