Box Car Racer - There Is
This vacation's useless, these white pills aren't kind
無用的假期,無情的白色藥丸
I've given a lot of thought on this thirteen hour drive
13小時的漫漫車程 我讓思緒蔓延
I missed the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
想起我們以前會在8或9點後坐在人行道邊緣
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
然後慢慢地在車子大燈的照耀下大笑著
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we used to have
總是想起那些我們相處的夜晚
The days have come and gone, our lives went by so fast
時光飛逝,人生眨眼即逝
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
我依稀記得自己躺在你房間地板喘息著
Where I laid and told you, but you swear you loved me more
躺著並向妳訴說情意,但妳發誓妳更愛我
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
如果我不知道該說什麼 妳會在意嗎?
Will you sleep tonight? Will you think of me?
今晚妳會安穩入睡嗎? 或妳會想起我呢?
Will I shake this off, pretend it's all okay?
還是我將擺脫這一切,假裝一切無關緊要?
That there's someone out there who feels just like me?
假裝還有人跟我的感覺一樣?
There is
有的
Those notes you wrote me, I've kept them all
那些妳以前寫給我的留言,我全部都珍藏了起來
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this Fall
今年秋天我思考許久要怎麼回覆
With every single letter, in every single word
伴隨每一封信,每個文字
There will be a hidden message about a boy that loves a girl
都將隱藏著關於一個男孩愛著女孩的訊息
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
如果我不知道該說什麼 妳會在意嗎?
Will you sleep tonight? Will you think of me?
今晚妳會安穩入睡嗎? 或妳會想起我呢?
Will I shake this off, pretend it's all okay?
還是我將擺脫這一切,假裝一切無關緊要?
That there's someone out there who feels just like me?
假裝還有人跟我的感覺一樣?
There is
有的
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
如果我不知道該說什麼 妳會在意嗎?
Will you sleep tonight? Will you think of me?
今晚妳會安穩入睡嗎? 或妳會想起我呢?
Will I shake this off, pretend it's all okay?
還是我將擺脫這一切,假裝一切無關緊要?
That there's someone out there who feels just like me?
假裝還有人跟我的感覺一樣?

這首歌給妳。
如果要挑出人生中最喜愛的專輯,
這張由blink-182前吉他手Tom Delonge領軍的Box Car Racer同名專輯,
絕對是前三名之一。
在2002年Tom找來了blink-182的鼓手Travis和高中同學David,
組了這個side project樂團,
與blink-182不同的是,
這個樂團的風格更為黑暗並且充滿實驗性的編曲,
曲風偏向EMO與Post-hardcore,
卻又可以清晰的辨識出Tom的風格,
緊接這張後blink-182在2003年推出的同名專輯也可以聽到類似的風格,
甚至許多人認為這首歌intro的鼓點和旋律催生了I Miss You。
在專輯中大多數的歌都是由Tom與Travis共同創作,
可以聽到許多非常不同以往的鼓點,
包含爵士的風格與大量的過門技巧,
更為開放與空間感的氛圍。
這首歌是Tom在巡迴期間,
寫給自己十分思念的妻子Jennifer(2019年離婚),
有趣的是MV中的女主角是現任blink-182吉他手Matt的前妻。
也因為blink-182與Box Car Racer有許多的連結,
很多粉絲認為blink-182 2019年的專輯"Nine"中的"Dark Side"副歌在回應這首歌,
Dark Side副歌歌詞如下:
“I don’t care what you say, no
不,我不在乎你說什麼,
I don’t care what you do
不在乎你做什麼
I’m going to the Darkside with you”
我只知道我願意陪你走進心裡最黑暗之處
可惜的是,
因為這張專輯,
導致Tom與blink-182的Mark產生了嫌隙,
除了讓Box Car Racer就此結束外,
更間接導致了blink-182在2005年第一次的休團,
直到2008年Travis飛機失事重傷讓三人重新聯絡,
並於2009年才又復出。
