岁月催人老 心却未长进
I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
午夜已变成我的白昼
Midnights become my afternoons
当忧郁在深夜轮值，人群都消失不见
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
我像个幽灵 静静站在房间
I've ghosted stand there in the room
不该放任自己沉溺
I should not be left to my own devices
它们带着代价与罪恶降临
They come with prices and vices
我陷入爱的漩涡
I end up in crisis
古老传说永流传
(Tale as old as time)
梦中惊醒 我失声尖叫
I wake up screaming from dreaming
终有一天 我会目送你远走
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
因为我的算计让你厌倦
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
最后一次
(For the last time)
是我啊 嗨 我就是那个问题所在
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
茶香氤氲时 众人皆默许
At teatime, everybody agrees
我愿直视骄阳 却不敢凝望镜中模样
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
为反派喝彩 总是让我心力交瘁
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
有时我觉得 人人都像性感宝贝
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
我像山巅的野兽独行
And I'm a monster on the hill
庞大到无法同行 缓缓驶向你最爱的城
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
心被刺穿却未致命
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
你可听见我隐秘的自恋
Did you hear my covert narcissism
我伪装成无私模样
I disguise as altruism
像个政客般虚伪？
Like some kind of congressman?
时光流转 爱意依旧
(A tale as old as time)
梦中惊醒 我失声尖叫
I wake up screaming from dreaming
终有一天 我会目送你远走
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
生命将失去所有意义
And life will lose all its meaning
最后一次
(For the last time)
是我啊 嗨 我就是那个麻烦精（麻烦精就是我）
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
茶香四溢时 众人皆默许
At teatime, everybody agrees
我敢直视太阳 却不敢面对镜中的模样
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
为反派加油 你一定很累吧
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
梦里儿媳为财起杀心
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
她以为遗嘱里我留了念想
She thinks I left them in the will
家人围坐共读信笺 突然有人失声惊喊
The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out
她在地狱里对我们冷笑
"She's laughing up at us from Hell"
是我啊，嗨
It's me, hi
我就是那个错 都怪我
I'm the problem, it's me
是我啊，嗨
It's me, hi
我就是那个错 都怪我
I'm the problem, it's me
是我啊，嗨
It's me, hi
人人都说好 人人都说妙
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees
是我啊 嗨 我就是那个麻烦
It's me, hi (Hi), I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
下午茶时分（茶时分），众人皆默许（皆默许）
At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)
我愿直视骄阳 却不敢凝望镜中的模样
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
为反派加油 总是让人疲惫不堪
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
About this song
Midnights 的自我怀疑巡回：「depression works the graveyard shift」把抑郁写成值夜班的工人；「sexy baby / monster on the hill」是名气体量——也可能朝《30 Rock》眨一眼。副歌「it’s me, hi」把指控麦克风对准自己；「covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman」把伪善写成政治修辞。桥段儿媳噩梦与 MV 里遗嘱把 13 美分留给孩子、海滨别墅留给猫——讽刺遗产贪婪的荒诞剧，不是在控诉现实中的某个儿媳。
Key terms & images
- Graveyard shift depression
- 抑郁像上夜班：别人睡了它开工。把病症写成劳动时间表，而不是抽象形容词。
- Sexy baby / monster on the hill
- 既想被当成迷人的「宝贝」，又清楚自己是山上那只被围观的怪物——名气把人放大到失控。有人听出《30 Rock》彩蛋气味，当作附加玩笑即可。
- Covert narcissism as altruism
- 把隐性自恋伪装成利他，再比成国会议员式的表演关怀——自我解剖到制度隐喻一层。
- Daughter-in-law nightmare / 13 cents
- 桥段与 MV 的继承幻觉：极小金额留给「孩子们」、房产留给猫——夸张遗产争夺的丑，讽刺的是贪婪剧本，不是纪实家庭新闻。
FAQ & readings
- 「It’s me, hi」为什么杀伤力这么大？
- 它把流行歌里常甩向「你」的指控，折回「我」。承认自己是问题的一部分，比控诉别人更难听，也更难躲开。
- MV 遗嘱那段是在影射真人吗？
- 更像把桥段的偏执做成视觉荒诞剧：遗产分配夸张到笑话，用来演「被啃食的名人焦虑」，不宜当成对某个真实儿媳的实录。
