For my sanity
所需的一切
How can something so enticing

Have such awful side effects

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me out of check
使我难以克制
I am fixated on all of the things we were together

But those are fragments

That are better off lost forever

Turned from the pain I was trained to love

No matter how much people try to put you down or make you think other things about yourself, the only person you can trust about who you really are is you. ”
——Crusher-P
这是我非常喜欢的一首英文的GUMI曲,英文调的非常棒的同时歌词也写得很好,但是我觉得一些音乐平台上的翻译有点奇怪所以我自己又做了一次翻译,以直译为主,意译为辅,可能不是特别优美但也算表达出了我心中这首歌的内涵吧。
结合PV和歌词,这首歌主要是以GUMI描述了一个女孩恋爱的心路历程(GUMI不愧是苦情歌之王2333)从刚开始的被PUA为爱付出一切到逐渐看清现状,选择挣脱对方的束缚,也正如Crusher-P所说“The only person you can trust aout who you really are is you.”认清真实的自己后她选择跨越自己的曾经,去重获新生。
