朋友們,4TH WALL這張專輯真的每一首都超好聽,歌詞也寫得超好,我都直接在spotify截圖當桌布。
我這首歌最喜歡副歌那兩句:
Darling, don't hate me when we're not in love.
Darling, don't break me when it's all too much.
翻完整首歌以後我才好像能理解為什麼歌名要取sitting in traffic,有點難以形容這種模糊的感覺。(最後再說)
不知道大家心裡有什麼解釋,先來聽歌吧!
〈Ruel - SITTING IN TRAFFIC〉
[Verse 1]
It's easy to want me while we are falling'
當我們在墜落時,很容易就能想起我
All of the scariest parts are blocked out*
所有最可怕的部分都被抹去
Lost in a mansion, up in the canyon
迷失在那座位於峽谷的宅邸
Light from the sunset is blinding our doubts
來自夕陽的光亮蒙蔽了我們的懷疑
[Pre-Chorus]
Remember the way that you feel when it's only us, only us
記得你體會到的那種感覺,當時只有我們二人,只有我們
It felt like forever but now we're just fucking up, Mm-hmm
那感覺像是永遠,但我們現在只是一蹋糊塗
[Chorus]
Darling, don't hate me when we're not in love, oh, oh
親愛的,當我們不再相愛時別恨我
Darling, don't break me when it's all too much, yeah
親愛的,當一切過於沉重時別打擊我
We were just laughing', sittin' in traffic*
我們當時只是笑著,在緩慢移動的車流中等待
Said, we'd never let bad things happen to us
曾經說過,我們不會讓壞事侵襲彼此
So please, don't ever hate me when we're not in love
所以拜託你,當我們不再相愛時,請不要恨我
[Verse 2]
I'll take an airplane back to the old days
我想搭乘飛機回到過去的日子裡
Back when it felt like the sky was still real
回到天空仍令人感到真實的時候
And we were addicted to what was written in all of the stars
回到那時我們仍沉迷於星星上到底寫著什麼東西
Now we can't even feel
而現在我們甚至無法去感受
[Pre-Chorus]
Remember the way that you feel when it's only us, oh, oh
記得你所體會到的感覺,當時只有我們二人,只有我們
When it felt like forever but now we're just fucking up oh, ooh, ooh
還以為那刻會是永恆,但我們現在只是一蹋糊塗
[Chorus]
Darling, don't hate me when we're not in love, oh, oh
親愛的,當我們不再相愛,請別恨我
Darling, don't break me when it's all too much, yeah
親愛的,當一切過於沉重,請別打擊我
We were just laughing', sittin' in traffic
我們曾經只是笑著,在堵塞的車流中保持從容
Said, we'd never let bad things happen to us
說過,我們永遠不會讓壞事發生在彼此身上
So don't ever hate me when we're not in love, yeah
所以請不要恨我,即使我們不再相愛
[Bridge]
All of the good things turning' to bad things
所有的好事都變成了壞事
How will you feel when you're lookin' back?
當你回頭去看,你會怎麼想?
And all of the memories will turn to resentment
而所有美好的回憶都轉變為憎恨
And where will I be when you forget the past
若你忘了過去的一切,我將會在哪裡?
All of the good things turning' to bad things
所有的好事都變成了壞事
Tell me what happens when it all ends?
告訴我,當一切走向終結時會發生什麼事?
Oh, I gotta tell you, what I'm most afraid of
我會告訴你,我最恐懼的事情
Is losing' you, it's to lose you again
就是失去你,我最害怕的事就是再失去你一次
[Chorus]
Darling, don't hate me when we're not in love, oh, oh
親愛的,當我們不再相愛時別恨我
Darling, don't break me when it's all too much, oh, oh
親愛的,當一切過於沉重時別恨我
We were just laughing', sittin' in traffic
我們當時只是笑著,在緩慢移動的車流中等待
Said, we'd never let bad things happen to us
那時還說過,我們永遠不會讓彼此被壞事侵襲
So please, don't ever hate me when we're not in love, oh, oh
所以拜託,請不要討厭我,即使我們不再相愛
In love
相愛

block out:擋住、屏蔽、忘掉、不去想。
sit in traffic:就是被困在交通裡面,因為交通堵塞所以車輛移動緩慢或是根本沒在移動。
我自己對這首歌的理解是,困在交通裡應該是一件很煩躁的事,但當時兩人還未分開的時候卻可以笑著承諾對方,會待在彼此身邊。那時對他們來說,待在對方身邊是一件理所當然的事,不會有盡頭,也不會有不耐,可以見得他們對彼此來說是很重要的存在。
不過我卻覺得這整首歌都給我一種,他們的感情就像困在堵塞的交通之中,沒有辦法繼續前進下去,要往後也沒有退路。有一種很窒息又心痛的感覺。
