震耳欲聾的樂聲間，聽見自我的聲音

Alkaline Trio - Mercy Me

It's been a long day living with this
懷著忐忑的心情過了漫長的一天
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
自從我備感噁心已過了許久
I took a long walk straight back home
於是我走過遙遠的路程回家
I could've walked back to San Francisco
我本可直接走回聖地牙哥
I used to long for time alone
我曾經渴望獨處的時光
I used to long for a place of my own
曾渴望只屬於自己的地方
Now I'm losing faith in everything
如今我對一切失去信心
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see
我是如此迷失 如你所見 我迷失於汪洋之中

I used to long for broken bones
我曾經渴望粉身碎骨
I used to long for a casket to call my own
曾渴望只屬於自己的棺材
I never had a problem facing fear
我一向不畏懼直視恐懼
But I'm done, over and out, my dear, and
但如今我已受夠 親愛的 到此為止

Oh, mercy me
喔 憐憫我吧
God bless catastrophe
上帝保佑災難
Cause there's no way in hell
因為地獄沒有出口
We'll ever live to see through this
我們將一直活著見證這一點
So drive yourself insane tonight, it's not that far away
那今晚就放肆自我 崩潰邊緣近在眼前
And I just filled up your tank earlier today, yeah
反正今天稍早我才剛幫你把油加滿

It's been a long day living with this
懷著忐忑的心情過了漫長的一天
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
自從我備感噁心已過了許久
I took a long walk straight back home
於是我走過遙遠的路程回家
I could've walked back to Chicago
我本可直接走回芝加哥
I used to long for time alone
我曾經渴望獨處的時光
I used to long for a place of my own
曾渴望只屬於自己的地方
Now I'm losing faith in everything
如今我對一切失去信心
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost without you
我是如此迷失 失去你令我迷失了自己

Oh, mercy me
喔 憐憫我吧
God bless catastrophe
上帝保佑災難
Well there's no way in hell
地獄沒有出口
We'll ever live to see through this
我們將一直活著見證這一點
So drive yourself insane tonight, it's not that far away
那今晚就放肆自我 崩潰邊緣近在眼前
And I just filled up your tank earlier today, yeah
反正今天稍早我才剛幫你把油加滿
So drive yourself insane tonight, it's not that far away
那今晚就放肆自我 崩潰邊緣近在眼前
And I just filled up your tank earlier today, yeah, yeah
反正今天稍早我才剛幫你把油加滿


這首歌收錄於Alkaline Trio 2005年推出的專輯"Crimosn"中，
是他們所有單曲中我最喜歡的一首。
這首歌主要表達失去了某個重要的人後，
對於身邊的一切都不再感興趣，
只是迷失其中並試圖呼喚他人的注意。
很喜歡副歌最後由bass手唱的兩句歌詞，
以雙關drive yourself的方式，
兼具驅使、開車的drive，
配上後一句的把油加滿，
來鼓勵敘事者盡情的宣洩痛苦。
