A Bad Dream

A Bad Dream

Bad Dream是 Keane樂隊代表作品,主唱Tom Chaplin自承寫過最好的一首歌,歌詞靈感來自於W.B.Yeats葉慈的詩作(一位愛爾蘭飛行員預知了他的死亡)但不同於詩作里主角明暸戰爭荒謬和死亡的篤定口吻,《A Bad Dream》更多的是用"為什麼"、"何處"來質問他對抗的一切,Tom Chaplin甚至希望那是一場噩夢。

歌曲歌詞


Why do I have to fly
為何我得飛越
Over every town up and down the line?
每一個城鎮和戰線之間
I'll die in the clouds above
我會死在雲端之上
And you that I defend,I do not love
而我保衛的你,卻不是我所愛的
I wake up,it's a bad dream
我驚醒,卻發現是一場噩夢No one on my side
無人在我身側
I was fighting
我還在戰鬥
But I just feel too tired
但我卻快精疲力竭
To be fighting
無心應戰了
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
我想我並非爭強好勝之人
Where will I meet my fate?
在哪裡才會遇見我的命運?
Baby I'm a man,I was born to hate
親愛的 我只是凡軀 生來就會憎恨
And when will I meet my end?
什麼時候才是我命運的終結?
In a better time you could be my friend
在一個更好的時候 我們會成為朋友
I wake up,it's a bad dream
我驚醒,卻發現是一場噩夢
No one on my side
無人在我身側
I was fighting
我還在戰鬥
But I just feel too tired
但我卻快精疲力竭
To be fighting
無心應戰了
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
我想我並非爭強好勝之人
Wouldn't mind it
也不會再在意
If you were by my side
你是否還陪在我身邊
But you're long gone
但你早已離去
Yeah you're long gone now
你早已離去
Where do we go?
我們該何去何從?
I don't even know
我甚至認不出來
My strange old face
我陌生蒼老的面龐
And I'm thinking about those days
我還在回想過去的時光
And I'm thinking about those days
我還在回想過去的時光
I wake up,it's a bad dream
我驚醒,卻發現是一場噩夢
No one on my side
無人在我身側
I was fighting我還在戰鬥
But I just feel too tired
但我卻快精疲力竭
To be fighting
無心應戰了
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
我想我並非爭強好勝之人
Wouldn't mind it

If you were by my side你是否還陪在我身邊
But you're long gone
