震耳欲聾的樂聲間，聽見自我的聲音

Rise Against - Swing Life Away

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
我的聲音是否嘹亮清晰 抑或我只是崩潰大叫著?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
我還是妳的幸運星 抑或我只是衰鬼一個?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
我們是否更加靠近 抑或只是逐漸疏離?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
我會向妳坦承 只要妳先
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
就來比較傷痕吧 我會告訴你誰的過去更糟些
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
就來重寫這些過去 換上屬於我們的文字

We live on front porches and swing life away
我們住在前廊 笑享人生
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
領著最低薪資 自在地過
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end
如果愛是勞工 我會奴役其直到永遠
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
在妳牽起我前我不會獨自過街

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
我來這裡很久了 我想是時候離開
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
這裡的冬天太冷 而夏天又太短
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
就打包行囊 搬去棕梠樹生長的地方定居吧

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
我有過些不太熟悉的朋友
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
但我們一起經歷過些 千金不換的美好時光
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
這些天我們一直討論將要搬去的地方

We live on front porches and swing life away
我們住在前廊 笑享人生
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
領著最低薪資 自在地過
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end
如果愛是勞工 我會奴役其直到永遠
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
在妳牽起我前我不會獨自過街
Until you hold my hand
在妳牽起我前

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
我會向妳坦承 只要妳先
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
就來比較傷痕吧 我會告訴你誰的過去更糟些
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
就來重寫這些過去 換上屬於我們的文字

We live on front porches and swing life away
我們住在前廊 笑享人生
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
領著最低薪資 自在地過
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end
如果愛是勞工 我會奴役其直到永遠
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
在妳牽起我前我不會獨自過街

Swing life away
笑享人生
Swing life away
笑享人生
Swing life away
笑享人生
Swing life away
笑享人生

這首歌收錄在Rise Against 2004年的"Siren Song of the Counter Culture"專輯中，
是他們早期少數的抒情歌曲。
歌曲主要描述平淡的生活也能找到屬於自己的喜悅，
並對於未來保持希望(儘管領著最低薪資)，
主唱Tim認為致力於熱絡的人際關係(包括愛情)比金錢更為重要。
