Mastermind

Album: Midnights(2022)
Once upon a time, the planets and the fates and all the stars aligned
曾几何时 星辰命运行星都为你我相遇
You and I ended up in the same room at the same time
你我终究在同一个房间相遇
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
指尖轻触点燃了引线
Of a chain reaction of countermoves
像多米诺骨牌 步步紧逼
To assess the equation of you
解不开你给的谜题
Checkmate, I couldn't lose
将军,我早已胜券在握
What if I told you none of it was accidental
若我说这一切并非偶然
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me
那夜你初见我时 无人能阻挡我的光芒
I laid the groundwork and then just like clockwork
我铺好前路 却如钟摆般往复
The dominoes cascaded in a line
骨牌连成线 纷纷倒落
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
若我说我才是幕后棋手
And now you're mine
此刻你属于我
It was all by design
一切早有预谋
'Cause I'm a mastermind
因为我早已布下天罗地网
You see all the wisest women had to do it this way
那些聪慧女子 都曾走过这条路
'Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game
因为我们生来就是爱情游戏里的棋子
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
若你不曾筹谋 便注定要失手
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
谋略铺开故事的序章
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
我是那自由航程中的风
And the liquor in our cocktails
杯中烈酒映着微光
What if I told you none of it was accidental
若我说这一切并非偶然
And the first night that you saw me, I knew I wanted your body
初见那夜你凝望我,我就渴望你的怀抱
I laid the groundwork and then just like clockwork
我埋下伏笔 时光却如齿轮般无情
The dominoes cascaded in a line
骨牌连成线 纷纷坠落
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
若我说我才是幕后棋手
And now you're mine
此刻你属于我
It was all my design
这一切都是我精心安排
'Cause I'm a mastermind
因为我早已算尽天机
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
小时候没人愿意和我玩耍
So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
自那以后 我就像个罪犯般 处心积虑
To make them love me and make it seem effortless
要让他们爱上我 还装作毫不费力
This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
这是我第一次 想要对你坦白
And I swear
我发誓
I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care
我这般深藏不露 只因太在乎
So I told you none of it was accidental
所以我告诉你 这一切都不是偶然
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me
那夜你初见我时 无人能阻挡我心
I laid the groundwork and then saw a wide smirk
我铺好前路 却见你轻蔑一笑
On your face, you knew the entire time
你脸上 早已写满答案
You knew that I'm a mastermind
你早知我运筹帷幄
And now you're mine
此刻你属于我
Yeah, all you did was smile
你只消浅浅一笑
'Cause I'm a mastermind
因为我早已布下天罗地网
