震耳欲聾的樂聲間，聽見自我的聲音

Trophy Eyes - Chlorine

I'm still breathing
我還活著
I'm still breathing
我還活著

Water ran from my body
泳池的水逐漸滑落我身
Crystal clear, chlorinated and sky blue
如水晶般清透，充斥著氯的氣味與天空的藍色
As the icy cold brought life back to my feet
冰冷的觸感打從腳底將我喚醒
Every breath in was something I owed you
每一次呼吸都包含了我對你的虧欠

I heard they cut you down in your own bedroom
我聽說他們將吊掛著的你從臥室天花板卸下
I wondered if you'd still remember
我思考著你是否還記得

When we remember
當我們想起某件事時
We only get a version of the last time we remember it
我們只能回憶起最後一次記憶的版本 
And as time rolls on like it always does
隨著時間無情地前進
Though it might be a little different, I won't forget
儘管會有些許差異，但我不會忘記
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
我還活著，我還活著

Tell me why I didn't die in that swimming pool?
告訴我為什麼我沒死在那泳池裡?
When you saved my life, did you know that would take your own?
當你拯救我時，有想過日後你會結束自己的生命?
Who decides if we stay or if we go?
到底是誰決定我們的去留？
Did it cross your mind that I'm alive because of you?
你曾否想過我還活著是因為你？

I heard they cut you down in your own bedroom
我聽說他們將吊掛著的你從臥室天花板卸下
I wonder if you'd still remembered
我思考著你是否還記得
You gave it all away for a girl
你為了一位女孩放棄一切
You didn't fix it, you just ended it
比起補救，你直接結束這一切
I heard they cut you down in your own bedroom
我聽說他們將吊掛著的你從臥室天花板卸下
I wonder if you'd still remembered
我思考著你是否還記得
You gave it all away for a girl
你為了一位女孩放棄一切
You didn't fix it, you just ended it
比起補救，你直接結束這一切

When we remember
當我們記起某件事時
We only get a version of the last time we remember it
我們只能回憶起最後一次記憶的版本
And as time rolls on like it always does
隨著時間無情地前進
Though it might be a little different
儘管會有些許差異
I won't forget
但我不會忘記
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
我還活著，我還活著
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
我還活著，我還活著

Just two kids
只是兩個孩子
When you pulled me out
你將我拉出泳池後
We never really spoke
我們並沒有變得多熟
But I still saw you around
但我依舊常在附近看見你
Friends of friends
朋友的朋友
What does that mean to you now
這件事對現在的你又有何意義
I heard everybody came
我聽說大家都來了
When they put you in the ground
在你下葬時

P.S.
這算是我認識Trophy Eyes的第二首歌，
這首歌主要描述主唱John小時候在泳池的瀕死經驗，
當時幾乎溺死的他被一位附近朋友的朋友所救起，
兩人之間就只有這次救命之恩的連結，
並沒有因為意外而變成熟識的朋友，
日後這位救命恩人因為情傷而在家上吊自殺了。
根據John的解釋，
這首歌並不是想要去悼念救命恩人，
畢竟他們只能算是點頭之交，
而是試著提出得不到答案的疑問。

這首歌收錄在Trophy Eyes於2016年發行的第二張專輯"Chemical Miracle"中，
是我覺得他們十分具代表性的歌曲，
John奔放高亢又帶著嘶吼結尾的嗓音，
配上適當的流行性與John獨特世界觀的歌詞，
讓此專輯成為近十年來不可錯過的Melodic hardcore專輯。
