以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供

Written by：James Mercer

I make myself a promise

我对自己许下承诺

Then break it every night

每天晚上都打破禁忌

I'm feeling loose and life don't make no sense

我感觉自由自在生活毫无意义

I use my brains to build a fence

我绞尽脑汁筑起篱笆

'Round the claim I stake

围绕着我的主张

I take the drugs but the drugs won't take

我吞下**可**无法让我

I took a pledge to grow up

我发誓要长大

Then drank enough to make me throw up

然后又喝到吐

On all my dearly disappointed friends

献给我失望透顶的朋友

I'm just too lazy to make amends

我只是懒得去弥补

With you anyway

和你在一起

That's why the pattern still remains

这就是为什么这种模式依然存在

There's half a million things that I'm supposed to be

有无数的事情我应该成为

A shelter in the nighttime

夜晚的庇护所

A punk running free

一个自由奔跑的废物

And if it gets too deep

如果陷得太深

I reach for my guitar

我伸手去拿吉他

And if I try hard

如果我拼尽全力

I find something I can really drop into

我找到了可以投入其中的东西

And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing

过去的一切都是我可以歌唱的

Everything is something next to nothing

一切都是近乎虚无的东西

As crazy as it seems you give it up and you are free

看起来疯狂无比你放弃一切你重获自由

Another candle to blow out

又一根蜡烛即将熄灭

New set of dark thoughts to shut out

新的黑暗想法就此消失

And everybody's got their remedies

每个人都有自己的解药

But nothing works like chemistry

但是没有什么比得上化学反应

So raise a toast

所以举杯吧

No more sipping from the fire hose

再也不要喝那种东西

There's half a million things that I'm supposed to be

有无数的事情我应该成为

A shelter in the nighttime

夜晚的庇护所

A punk running free

一个自由奔跑的废物

And if it gets too deep

如果陷得太深

I reach for my guitar

我伸手去拿吉他

And if I try hard

如果我拼尽全力

I find something I can really drop into

我找到了可以投入其中的东西

And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing

过去的一切都是我可以歌唱的

Everything is something next to nothing

一切都是近乎虚无的东西

As crazy as it seems you give it up and you are free

看起来疯狂无比你放弃一切你重获自由

There's half a million things that you're supposed to be

有无数的事情你应该成为

A virgin in the moonlight

月光下的处男

A freak on the scene

现场的怪咖

And if it gets too deep

如果陷得太深

You reach for your guitar

你伸手去拿吉他

And if you try hard

如果你竭尽全力

There's half a million things that I'm supposed to be

有无数的事情我应该成为
