The Flood

Here comes the flood again
洪水再次袭来
Watch it fall from the sky
排山倒海而来
Feel it soak through my flesh and my blood
将我淹没 从肌肤到血肉
Feel it burn in my eyes
泪水就要溃堤

When I say how much more can I take
当我夸口说 我还能撑到最后
I know the water’s rising up, watch the waves crest and break
我看着水位上升浪潮汹涌
And though I’ve made not but a sound
我一声不吭
I fear that I may drown
却紧张得发抖
I fear that I may drown
感觉就要被淹没

Here comes the wind again
风雨再次袭来
Cold that cuts to the bone
寒冷刺骨
Pack my bags and I’ll head out the door
我收拾行囊 转身出发
Here I am on my own
一个人上路

When I say how much more can I stand
当我夸口 说我能撑到最后
I know my walls are falling down;
我明白支柱一根根坠落
I left the rocks and chose the sand
我的依靠灰飞烟灭
And though I’ve no one left to blame
事到如今 还能怪谁
Still, I cursed your name
但我依旧放不下你
I cursed your name
怪罪于你

So now the end
走到了终点
What I’ve been running from
我对逃跑感到厌倦
Though I’ve tried I cannot lift my head
我试过了 却总无法回到起点
Oh, what have I become?
噢 我到底怎么了

When I say how much more can I take?
当我夸口说 我还能撑到最后
I know my time is running short,
我知道我的体力已尽
I am broken and I’ll break
身心疲惫 灵魂空洞
And though I’ve worn myself so thin
即使残败至此
I’m coming home again
我也要回到避风之港
And though I do not know my heart
虽然我不懂 自己在想些什么
Well, I know myself down to my bones,
内心深处 我懂我是什么样的人
but if my bones should come apart
但若连内心都支离破碎
Then I’ll have nothing left to give
我再也不知道 自己算什么
But if you take me in,
若你愿意再次接纳我
I’m coming home again
我会回到我真正的归属
If you take me in
若你愿意伸出手
I’m coming home again
我会回到我真正的归属

Joshua Hyslop – The Flood

 

最近无意间点到 Joshua Hyslop 的 Youtube 影片,才意外发现一位音乐才子,有种相见恨晚的感觉。Joshua Hyslop 是加拿大创作歌手,曲风偏向民谣。在2011年发行他的第一张 EP Cold Wind,这次介绍的 The Flood 则收录在他的专辑 In Deepest Blue 中,从歌曲开头清澈的吉他伴奏就已经足以让人爱上这首歌。

整首歌围绕着 flood 洪水的意象,把一段破碎的感情比喻成洪水来袭,一方面是说外在面临的困难、阻碍如洪水般难以抵挡,另一方面也是说内在的心痛、心碎,眼泪忍在眼角,如洪水般就要溃堤。面对感情问题,主角是个爱逞强、不愿低头的人,”When I say how much more can I take”,他以为自己一个人也能过得很好,以为少了对方也能重新生活,但 “I’ve tried I cannot lift my head”,他发现这样的生活不再快乐,不再令人期待。”But if my bones should come apart/ Then I’ll have nothing left to give” 此刻的她就像一个空壳,没了血肉与骨头,无法承载任何打击,无法对抗任何风雨。他终究回到了他的避风港,或许洪水过后,两人重新整建的家园会更耐得住考验。
