The Bolter
Album: THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT(2024)
By all accounts, she almost drowned
众人都说 她险些沉没
When she was six in frigid water
六岁那年 她浸在刺骨寒水中
And I can confirm she made
我能确定她曾让我心动
A curious child, ever reviled
好奇的孩子 总被冷眼相待
By everyone except her own father
唯独她的父亲 视而不见
With a quite bewitching face
一张令人沉醉的脸
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
自私得耀眼 无助得迷人
Excellent fun till you get to know her
初见时她光芒万丈
Then she runs like it's a race
她飞奔而去 像在逃离一场比赛
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
她身后 闺蜜们笑得多欢畅
And they nicknamed her The Bolter
他们给她起了个外号叫"逃兵"
Started with a kiss
始于那轻轻一吻
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
"噢 我们别再这样相遇"
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
可结局总是豪华轿车绝尘而去
Out the drive one evening
那晚驶出家门
Ended with the slam of a door
砰的一声 爱在关门时终结
Then he'll call her a whore
他只会骂她下贱
Wish he wouldn't be sore
但愿他不会难过
But as she was leaving
可她却转身离去
It felt like breathing
呼吸般自然
All her fuckin' lives
她轮回千遍的宿命
Flashed before her eyes
往事在眼前闪过
It feels like the time
时光仿佛在此刻停留
She fell through the ice
她坠入冰封的深渊
Then came out alive
劫后余生
He was a cad, wanted her bad
他是个浪子 对她着了魔
Just like any good trophy hunter
就像每个追逐战利品的猎人
And she liked the way it tastes
她爱上这滋味的美
Taming a bear, making him care
驯服野熊 让他心动
Watching him jump then pulling him under
看他纵身一跃 又沉入深渊
And at first blush, this is fate
初见那刻 命中注定
When it's all roses, portrait poses
当玫瑰盛开，定格微笑姿态
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
泛舟中央公园 小舟轻摇湖面
What a charming Saturday
这周六多美妙
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
就在那一刻 她看见细小的裂缝
Down in the floorboards
地板缝隙间
And she just knows
她心知肚明
She must bolt
她定会仓皇逃离
Started with a kiss
始于那轻轻一吻
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
"噢 我们别再这样相遇"
But it always ends up with a town car speeding
可结局总是豪车呼啸而过
Out the drive one evening
那夜驱车离开
Ended with the slam of a door
砰的一声 爱在关门时终结
Then he'll call her a whore
他轻蔑地唤她浪荡
Wish he wouldn't be sore
但愿他不会难过
But as she was leaving

It felt like breathing

All her fuckin' lives
她轮回千遍
Flashed before her eyes

Then came out alive

She's been many places with
她曾随波逐流走遍天涯
Men of many faces
众生百态的面孔
First they're off to the races
他们先奔向爱的赌局
And she's laughing drawin' aces
她笑着抽到王牌
But, none of it is changin'
可一切都没改变
That the chariot is waitin'
马车已在门外等候
Hearts are hers for the breakin'
她的心 任人伤透
There's escape in escaping
逃离也是一种解脱

It feels like the time
