阿姆再次無預警的釋出了新專輯,
這次的主打歌曲Darkness 講述的是17年在美國拉斯維加斯的槍擊案,
並扣合自己的抑鬱症焦慮症結合的一首歌曲。
與往常一樣,阿姆所寫的歌詞充滿寓意,以及多重的事物。
開頭從落入孤寂深淵開始,漸漸的演變成厭世,到最後的發洩,其實阿姆的人生也是如此,他與槍手一樣,沒有父親,缺乏愛,說不上來的心理疾病,
同樣都為了引人側目,只是阿姆的處理方式是在舞台饒舌,而槍手錯誤的選擇,致使了無辜民眾的死亡。
歌詞也提到了,他們最後只會被描寫成有心理變態的殺人犯,只是為了給予大眾一個合理的解釋,但阿姆覺得,那不過是媒體世人的無知和虛偽,因為到最後,槍擊事件四起,槍枝卻仍合法化,這在MV中展現了出來。
可以說這首歌曲是結合了時事及藝術於一身一首很優秀的作品,所以說阿姆之所以是阿姆啊。
(黃色背景文字敘述為歌詞的雙關和言外之意)
I don't wanna be alone, I don't wanna be
我想逃出這孤寂,我不願待在此處
I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
不願獨自待在黑暗裡
I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
不願獨自待在黑暗裡
I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
我想逃出這孤寂,我不願獨自待在黑暗中
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
你好,黑暗,我熟悉的老友
[Verse 1]
Here I am, alone again
又來了,再次陷入孤寂
Can't get out of this hole I'm in
無法逃離這黑洞
It's like the walls are closin' in
像被一道道牆囚禁
You can't help me, no one can
你無法拯救我,沒有人可以
I can feel these curtains closin'
帷幕拉上
I go to open 'em
我上前揭開
But something pulls 'em closed again
但總有什麼又將它拉起
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
你好,黑暗,我熟悉的老友
Feels like I'm loathing in Las Vegas
我痛恨賭城
Haven't got the vaguest why I'm so lost
我不懂為何心中如此失落
But I'd make you this small wager
但我和你賭一把
If I bet you I'll be in tomorrow's paper
打賭我明天會上頭條新聞
Who would the odds favor?
你和我,誰是明天的頭條人物?
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
你好,黑暗,我熟悉的老友
I'm so much like my father, you would think that I knew him
我神似我的父親,其實我根本不認識他(槍手父親是懸賞犯人)
I keep pacin' this room, Valium, then chase it with booze
我在房裡來回踱步,服了些鎮定劑,配烈酒灌下去
One little taste, it'll do
只要服用一點就夠了
Maybe I'll take it and snooze, then tear up the stage in a few
也許我會吃幾片然後昏睡,過會炸翻舞台
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
你好,黑暗,我熟悉的老友
Fuck the Colt 45, I'ma need somethin' stronger
去他的Colt 45手槍(或低濃度的酒),我需要更強大的槍枝(或更能烈的酒)
If I pop any caps, it better be off of vodka
若我要射擊,最好別再灌伏特加了(若我開酒來喝,別再喝伏特加了)
Round after round after round, I'm gettin' loaded (Haha)
一輪又一輪,不斷將槍上膛(喝了一回又一回的酒,有點醉意)
That's a lot of shots, huh?
我開了很多槍吧?(我似乎喝很多杯了)

Now I'm starin' at the room service menu off a Benzo
服了鎮定劑後,凝視著客房服務手冊的欄目
I can hear the music continue to crescendo

I can see the whole fuckin' venue from my window

I should get ready for the show now

Wait, is this the whole crowd? I thought this shit was sold out
等等,才這麼些人,我還以為票全賣光了
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
(你好,黑暗,我熟悉的老友)
But it's only the opening act, it's early, don't overreact
但這才剛開始,太早了,別小題大作
Then something told me relax
有聲音告訴我要冷靜
And just hope for the show to be packed
繼續期盼會有更多人進來會場
Don't wanna hit the stage before they fill each row to the max
我要等滿場後再登台
'Cause that'd be totally wack
因為這樣事就不成了
You can't murder a show nobody's at (Hello darkness, my old friend)
你無法在空無一人的秀大開殺戒(雙關 : 阿姆無法在人少的演唱會全力發揮)
But what if nobody shows? Panic mode
如果沒人會出席呢?我好緊張
'Bout to snap and go motherfuckin' wacko at any second
隨時準備開始瘋狂射擊模式
'Bout to cancel the show just as fans below rush the entrance
準備撒手,但此時下面有粉絲衝進會場
Plan is a go to wreck shit, cameras in all directions (Hello darkness, my old friend)
好戲登場,準備好攝影機(你好,黑暗,我熟悉的老友)
The press is 'bout to go ape shit bananas on all the networks
媒體將會瘋狂,在網上大肆文章
Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers
像突擊隊總有額外槍火,我房裡的武器齊備
I'm armed to the teeth, another Valium, fall off the bed
我備好強大武力,再一片鎮定劑,跌落下床
Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser
摔在地上,爬到梳妝台前
Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the scope
酒氣濃濃中,我拿瞄準器
I'm blackin' out, I'm all out of meds
我眼前一片漆黑,沒了藥物
With them benzodiazepines gone
當鎮定季藥效過了
Now it's just magazines sprawled out on the floor
彈匣(雜誌)散落在地上

And I'm already sweatin', but I'm locked and loaded

For rapid fire spittin' for all the concert-goers
全自動步槍掃射在場觀眾
Scopes for sniper vision, surprise from out of nowhere
用瞄準器狙擊,人們根本不知道攻擊來自何方
As I slide the clip in from inside the hotel
當我在飯店房間內補彈藥
Leanin' out the window, going Keyser Söze
探出窗外,變成冷血殺手
Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner
手指壓在板機,我是個有照射擊手
With no prior convictions, so loss, the sky's the limit
沒有任何堅定想法,沒有頭緒,這場射擊沒極限
So my supplies infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier
我有無盡的彈藥,像軍人般揹著彈匣
Got 'em hopping over walls and climbing fences
看著人們四處逃竄
Some of them John Travolta, staying alive by inches
有些人像約翰屈伏塔在Pulp Fiction一樣沒打到子彈
(Hello darkness, my old friend)
你好,黑暗,我熟悉的老友
Cops are knockin', oh fuck, thought I blocked the entrance
警察重叩我的房門,媽的,我還以為我堵住通道了
Guess show time is over
好戲結束了
No suicide note, just a note for target distance
沒有自殺留言,只留張紙條,上面寫著預測射擊距離
But if you'd like to know the reason why I did this
如果你想知道為何我要射殺群眾
You'll never find a motive, truth is I have no idea
你永遠找不到動機,因為事實是我也沒有頭緒
I am just as stumped, no signs of mental illness
我一籌莫展,也沒有診斷出精神疾病
Just tryin' to show ya the reason why we're so fucked
只是又給你們個為什麼我們一團糟的原因
'Cause by the time it's over, won't make the slightest difference
因為事件落幕後,擁有槍隻仍合法
