" So don't be scared to live again
Be scared to live again "
最近The Weekend釋出了新專輯《After Hours》的所有新歌,其中我個人滿喜歡這首《Scared To Live》的,有別於他典型而強烈的個人風格,我反而更能catch到威肯如此赤裸的情緒,不做過多的伴奏,他卻完整表達了一首很悲傷的失戀故事。
這首歌想表達的主角,是被The Weekend分手的前女友,對方似乎因為分手而感到失落,不再懂得如何去愛,甚至連生命的意義都無從尋找,因此The Weekend似是懺悔,卻又無奈地道出了心中的不捨,用不斷重複的鼓勵告訴她:不要害怕活下去。在悲傷之餘,更多的是一種束手無策的感覺,聽來令人不勝唏噓。
歌詞翻譯
[Verse 1]
When I saw the signs, I shoulda let you go (Yeah, yeah)
當我看到那些跡象的時候 我早該放手的
But I kept you beside me
但我卻一直要你在我身邊
And if I held you back, at least I held you close (Yeah)
如果我將你挽留 至少我會抱緊你
Should have known you were lonely
我早該知道 其實你很寂寞
[Pre-Chorus]
I know things will never be the same
我知道一切都不再相同
Time we lost will never be replaced
失去的時間也無法置換
I'm the reason you forgot to love
因為我 也許你忘記如何再去愛人
[Chorus]
So don't be scared to live again
所以別害怕 繼續活下去
Be scared to live again
別因為這一次留下陰霾
No, don't be scared to live again
不要不敢繼續接下來的人生
Be scared to live again
不要害怕
[Verse 2]
You always miss the chance to fall for someone else (Uh, uh)
你總是錯過了戀愛的機會
'Cause your heart only knows me
只因你還活在我們的過去裡
They try to win your love, but there was nothing left (Uh)
別人想要追求你 卻什麼都得不到
They just made you feel lonely (Hey)
他們只是讓你覺得更加寂寞

I am not the man I used to be

Did some things I couldn't let you see

Refuse to be the one who taints your heart
