Foxes - Beauty Queen 歌詞翻譯

外表的美麗是短暫的



Why are we so obsessed with cutting skin
為什麼當我們生活過的不順遂時
When the real things in our lives can't get in?
我們總想在身上動刀?

Marching to the same drum
遵循著相同節奏前進
Every single beat's gone
那些獨特的音色都已經消失
I can hear the dark days coming
我聽得出那黑暗的日子已經不遠
Another generation fighting for attention
又有下一個世代在為他人的目光奮鬥著
Can't you see I'm tired of running?
難道你看不出我已經不想再去追逐了嗎?

There's a house in the forest
在森林中有間房子
Where her days are forgotten
她那光輝的日子早被所有人遺忘
By the lake, she dropped her dreams
就在那湖邊, 她放棄了她的夢想
And now they've sunk to the bottom
而現在它們已經沉到湖底

Oh, beauty queen!
Oh, 選美皇后啊!
It's only skin deep, only thin sheets
是如此膚淺, 是如此表面
There's no audience
不會有任何人買單
Oh, beauty queen!
Oh, 選美皇后啊!
Something's telling me
我看的出來
That you were never meant to be trapped in time
你沒辦法永遠留在這時間的洪流中

Why are we holding hands like paper chains?
為什麼我們要像紙人一樣牽著手?
Why are we so content to stay the same?
為什麼我們這麼滿足於保持現狀?

Marching to the same drum
遵循著相同節奏前進
Every single beat's gone
那些獨特的音色都已經消失
I can hear the dark days coming
我聽得出那黑暗的日子已經不遠
Another generation fighting for attention
又有下一個世代在為他人的目光奮鬥著
Can't you see I'm tired of running?
難道你看不出我已經不想再去追逐了嗎?

There's a girl I remember
我記得曾經有那麼一個女孩
Who was everyone's dream
她曾是所有人夢想中的樣子
Now her face has become her
現在她的臉成了她的代名詞
It's the saddest thing you'll ever see
我想這就是這世上最悲傷的事

Oh, beauty queen!
Oh, 選美皇后啊!
It's only skin deep, only thin sheets
是如此膚淺, 是如此表面
There's no audience
不會有任何人買單
Oh, beauty queen!
Oh, 選美皇后啊!
Something's telling me
我看的出來
That you were never meant to be trapped in time
你沒辦法永遠留在這時間的洪流中

There's a house in the forest
在森林中有間房子
Where her days are forgotten
她那光輝的日子早被所有人遺忘
By the lake, she dropped her dreams
就在那湖邊, 她放棄了她的夢想
And now they've sunk to the bottom
而現在它們已經沉到湖底

Oh, beauty queen!
Oh, 選美皇后啊!
It's only skin deep, only thin sheets
是如此膚淺, 是如此表面
There's no audience
不會有任何人買單
Oh, beauty queen!
Oh, 選美皇后啊!
Something's telling me
我看的出來
That you were never meant to be trapped in time
你沒辦法永遠留在這時間的洪流中
