A Better Son/Daughter - Rilo Kiley一首暖心♥的

Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can't move
有时候早上醒来,惶恐得一动不能动
Awake, but cannot open my eyes
清醒着,可不能睁开我的眼
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs, I know I can't breathe
好像有重物重重的地压着我的肺上,透不过气
And hope someone will save me this time
我好希望这一次,能有个人来拯救我
And your mother's still calling you insane and high
然而妈妈还是认为你疯疯癫癫
Swearing it's different this time
你信誓旦旦地保证,这次会有所改变
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
你跟妈妈吵起来,你说她类同恶魔
And that God never blessed her insides
你告诉她:上帝从来没有庇佑过你
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
挂上电话,却又感到懊恼——你又让别人失望了
Crawl back into bed to dream of a time
你又钻回被窝,继续做梦,逃避现实
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
当你敞开心扉,热爱事物只是因为
Like the sick and the dying
你就像病人和垂死的人一样。
And sometimes when you're on, you're really fucking on
又有些时候,你状态特别好,就像特么作弊了一样
And your friends they sing along and they love you
而你的朋友们也齐齐响应,因为他们真的很爱你
But the lows are so extreme
但有时低谷会特别低
that the good seems fucking cheap
以致于“真善美”显得那么廉价
And it teases you for weeks in its absence
在你生活中缺席的那些美好事物,似乎在暗暗取笑你
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
但你会起身抗争,你一定能挺过去
You'll fake it if you have to
实在撑不住了就装装样子
and you'll show up for work with a smile
你要每天带着微笑去上班
And you'll be better
你会变得更好
And you'll be smarter
你会变得更聪明
And more grown up and a better daughter or son
你不再那么孩子气了,你会成为一个更棒的女儿/儿子
And a real good friend
成为一个对别人有益的朋友
And you'll be awake,
你会醒悟过来
you'll be alert,
你会意识到什么
you'll be positive though it hurts
不管多么难过你都能乐观面对
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
你会开怀地笑,拥抱所有朋友
You'll be a real good listener,
你会成为一个有耐心的聆听者
you'll be honest,
你会变得真诚
you'll be brave
你会变得勇敢
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful
你会容光焕发,变帅变漂亮
You'll be happy
最重要的是,你会重新快乐起来
Your ship may be coming in
属于你的一刻要来了
You're weak, but not giving in
即使你不够强大但绝不屈服
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
致低谷中所有的呼喊与哀嚎
And your ship may be coming in
属于你的一刻要来了
You're weak, but not giving in
即使你不够强大,但你绝不屈服
And you'll fight it, you'll go out fighting all of them
你会起身抗争,你将要把它们都打败
