最近在ICRT聽到一首滿好聽的歌
看了歌詞後覺得一開始就有些地方不太懂
看起來不是直接表現字面的意思
google幾個譯文覺得都沒有很傳神
歌名是 some nights
樂團是 Fun.
背景是美國南北戰爭，男生不得不離鄉背井
離開所愛，離開父母，離開家鄉
而且是上戰場殺人
最開始的幾句就不太懂他想表達的意思
以下是完整歌詞
Some Nights
Fun.
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for?
What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore
This is it boys, this is war!
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style
And that's alright
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering
Just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm, mmm
Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win (I always win)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for?
What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know
(Oh come on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this? (Oh come on)
No.
When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan
So come on
Oh come on
Oh come on
Oh come on!
Well, that is it guys, that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home
I'm sorry to leave mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone
All dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister
And the con that she called love
But when I look into my nephew's eyes
Man, you wouldn't believe
The most amazing things
That can come from
Some terrible nights
The other night, you wouldn't believe
A dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
