震耳欲聾的樂聲間，聽見自我的聲音

The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight

And it starts sometime around midnight
一切始於某個午夜時分
Or at least that's when you lose yourself for a minute or two
亦或是你喪失自我的那一兩分鐘
As you stand under the bar lights
當你站在吧台的燈光下
And the band plays some song
樂團奏起歌曲
About forgetting yourself for a while
一首關於暫時忘卻自我的歌曲
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile
鋼琴憂鬱的樂聲讓你聯想起她的笑容
And that white dress she's wearing
還有她正穿著的白色洋裝
You haven't seen her for a while
而你有一陣子沒見到她了

But you know that she's watching
但你知道她正觀察著
She's laughing, she's turning
她大笑，她轉身
She's holding her tonic like a crux
她拿著通寧的姿勢像握者十字架般
The room's suddenly spinning
空間忽然開始旋轉
She walks up and asks how you are
她走近問你最近如何
So you can smell her perfume
所以你聞到她的香水
You can see her lying naked in your arms
在腦海中看見她裸身躺在你懷裡的畫面

And so there's a change in your emotions
而那成了你情緒的轉折點
And all these memories come rushing
所有回憶一擁而上
Like feral waves to your mind
像蠻橫的海浪沖刷著你的內心
Of the curl of your bodies like two perfect circles entwined
本來是那樣完美纏繞在一塊的兩個圈圈
And you feel hopeless and homeless
這讓你感到絕望且喪失歸屬感
And lost in the haze of the wine
最終迷失於酒精中

Then she leaves with someone you don't know
接著她跟你不認識的人一同離開
But she makes sure you saw her
但她確保你有看見
She looks right at you and bolts
她直視著你同時關上大門
As she walks out the door
就在她走出門口時
Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
你感到血液沸騰，腸胃糾結
Oh, and your friends say "What is it?
而你的朋友們關心問著"怎麼了?
You look like you've seen a ghost"
你活像看見鬼了一樣"

Then you walk under the streetlights
然後你走在街燈下
And you're too drunk to notice that everyone's staring at you
而你醉到根本沒注意路人都在注視著你
You just don't care what you look like
你也無心在意他們怎麼看你
The world is falling around you
整個世界都落在你身邊
You just have to see her
你只想見到她
You just have to see her
你只想見到她
You just have to see her
你只想見到她
You just have to see her
你只想見到她
You just have to see her
你只想見到她
You know that she'll break you in two
儘管你知道她會讓你支離破碎

The Airborne Toxic Event成軍於2006年，
團名源自於後現代作家Don DeLillo的小說White Noise。
這首歌是它們的成名曲，
在2008年被美國iTune選為Alternative Rock第一名。
特別的是這首歌是沒有副歌的，
歌詞來自主唱的親身經歷，
也是他們作品中我最喜歡的一首，
時不時就會拿出來聽一下。
MV有兩個版本，
個人比較偏好上面的版本，
下方附上另一版跟不插電的現場：
