Olivia O'Brien是一名來自美國的唱作人,今次要為大家帶來的是收錄於The Results of My Poor Judgement的Sad Together。
對於我來說,她的音樂最吸引人之處 就是歌曲大都引人共鳴。Sad Together大概的意思就是雖然大家都曾經覺得生命糟透了,甚至有時萌生了要自殺的念頭,但我們要記得世界上同樣有人有著差不多的經歷。當我們感到孤獨時,我們不用感到孤單。
“We all go through the same things,” she exclaims. “A lot of people don’t know how to put their emotions into words for themselves, so I feel like I can do that for them. I started writing for myself, because I didn’t think anyone could relate. I thought nobody else felt the same. Once I got a response, I realized we all feel this way. Why not bring up all of the sad shit we go through in music and maybe we can all get better in the process?”
很多人都認為Olivia O'Brien寫的歌,就像他們的日記一樣。她覺得我們都正在經歷同樣的事情,我們會受傷害、我們會感到沮喪,但很多人都不知道可以如何用文字去形容自己的心情,而她就認為自己可以成為那一個人,去寫一些有共鳴的歌,或許聽到的人更能夠在音樂中找到沈澱的過程。
[Verse 1]
I would never kill myself, I'm too afraid to die but
我永遠都不會自殺,我太害怕死去
To say I've never thought about it, that would be a lie
要說我從來都沒有這個想法,那會是一個謊言
And I know it sounds depressing, but I know you feel the same
我知道這聽起來有點沮喪,但我知道你有同樣的感覺
Life is just a lesson and we gotta learn through pain
生命就像一門課,我們必須從痛苦中學習
[Pre-Chorus]
So let's drink up and celebrate
所以我們一起喝酒慶祝吧
Pour another one for the ones we hate
為我們討厭的人倒一杯
Life sucks anyway
生命反正糟透了
But I don't wanna be the one to sit and wait
但我不想成為那一個只會坐著和等待的人
[Chorus]
'Cause we're born alone, we die alone
因為我們生來時就自己一個,我們也獨自死去
But right now I don't wanna cry alone
但現在我不想獨自哭泣
And we know nothing's gonna last forever
我們知道沒有東西是永恆的
So let's be sad together
所以我們就一起傷心吧
You're not alone when you feel alone
當你感到孤獨時,你並不孤單
And right now you don't gotta be alone

'Cause you know nothing's gonna last forever

[Verse 2]
Not the only one, everybody goes through it
你不是唯一一個,每一個人都經歷著這些
Swallowing the gun, but I know I won't do it
吞下槍,但我知道我不會這樣做
We can make it fun, even if it's all useless
即使一切都沒有用,我們也可讓它變得有趣
Why you tryna run, just stay with me
為何你嘗試逃走,就跟我在一起吧
