The Great War
From the album Midnights(2022)
My knuckles were bruised like violets
指节淤青如紫罗兰绽放
Sucker punching walls
愤怒地捶打着墙
Cursed you as I sleep talked
梦呓中我咒骂着你
Spineless in my tomb of silence
懦弱蜷缩在沉默的坟墓
Tore your banners down
扯下你的旗帜飘扬
Took the battle underground
战火蔓延至地下
And maybe it was egos swinging
或许只是自尊在作祟
Maybe it was her
或许是她
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
战火纷飞的画面 在记忆中模糊闪现
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
血色染红四叶草
Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
嗯哼，美梦已悄然落幕
My hand was the one you reached for
你的手曾紧握我掌心
All throughout the Great War
战火纷飞岁月长
Always remember, uh-huh
永远记得 嗯哼
Tears on the letter, I vowed
泪落信纸上 誓言已泛黄
Not to cry anymore
不再让泪落下
If we survived the Great War
若我们熬过这场战火
You drew up some good faith treaties
你写下爱的契约 字字温柔
I drew curtains closed
我拉上窗帘
Drank my poison all alone
独饮毒酒 无人作陪
You said I have to trust more freely
你说我该学会更勇敢去相信
But diesel is desire
但柴油般燃烧的渴望
You were playing with fire
你玩火自焚的模样
And maybe it's the past that's talking
或许是往事在低语
Screaming from the crypt
墓穴深处传来嘶吼
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
你从未犯的错 却要我惩罚你
So I justified it
所以我自圆其说
All that bloodshed, crimson clover
血色染红苜蓿地
Uh-huh, the bombs were closer
炸弹近在咫尺 轰然炸响
My hand was the one you reached for
你的手曾紧握我掌心
All throughout the Great War
战火纷飞岁月长
Always remember, uh-huh
永远记得 嗯哼
The burning embers, I vowed
我对着余烬起誓
Not to fight anymore
不再争执不休
If we survived the Great War
若我们熬过这场战火
Uh-huh, uh-huh
嗯哼 嗯哼
It turned into something bigger
这感情已悄然蔓延
Somewhere in the haze
迷蒙中若隐若现
Got a sense I'd been betrayed
隐约感觉被谁背叛
Your finger on my hairpin triggers
你的指尖轻触我发簪
Soldier down on that icy ground
战士倒在冰冷的雪地上
Looked up at me with honor and truth
你眼中闪耀着荣耀与真诚
Broken and blue
心碎成灰 黯然憔悴
So I called off the troops
于是我撤回了千军万马
That was the night I nearly lost you
那夜我差点失去你
I really thought I'd lost you
我曾以为 真的失去你了
We can plant a memory garden
让我们种下回忆的花园
Say a solemn prayer
虔诚地许下心愿
Place a poppy in my hair
发间别一朵红罂粟
There's no morning glory
晨光不再闪耀
It was war, it wasn't fair
这场战役 太过无情
And we will never go back to that
我们再回不去从前
Bloodshed, crimson clover
血色染红苜蓿田
Uh-huh, the worst was over
嗯哼 最糟的都已成过往
My hand was the one you reached for
你的手曾紧握我掌心
All throughout the Great War
战火纷飞整场大战
Always remember, uh-huh
永远记得 嗯哼
We're burned for better, I vowed
我们为爱焚身，誓言永恒
I would always be yours
我愿永远属于你
'Cause we survived the Great War
我们熬过了这场鏖战
Uh-huh, uh-huh
嗯哼 嗯哼
I will always be yours
我永远属于你
'Cause we survived the Great War
我们熬过了这场鏖战
Uh-huh
嗯哼
I vowed I will always be yours
我发誓永远做你的依靠
