"Turtles All the Way Down"
I've seen Jesus play with flames
In a lake of fire that I was standing in
曾见过耶稣在我矗立的火焰之湖中玩火
Met the devil in Seattle
And spent 9 months inside the lions den
也曾在西雅图遇见恶魔、深入狮穴生活9月有余
Met Buddha yet another time
And he showed me a glowing light within
还曾在一次和佛祖的不期而遇中
他给我看了内在的炽热圣光
But I swear that God is there
Every time I glare in the eyes of my best friend
但是我发誓每次我凝视我好朋友的眼眸时
上帝一直在那里
Says my son, "It's all been done
他说“孩子啊,一切都已经结束了。”
And someday you're gonna wake up old and gray
“终有一天醒来你会发现自己已是白发苍苍。”
So go and try to have some fun
“何不出去找些乐子。”
Showing warmth to everyone
“善待身边的人。”
You meet and greet and cheat along the way"
“旅途中还充满了相遇、寒暄和欺骗。”
There's a gateway in our minds
That leads somewhere out there, far beyond this plane
我们大家的心中都有一条带领我们去到比这艘飞机飞得更高的路
Where reptile aliens made of light
Cut you open and pull out all your pain
在那里有可以把我们开膛破肚并远离一切痛苦的发光外星人
Tell me how you make illegal
Something that we all make in our brain
请告诉我你为何定义我们大脑自身的想象为非法行为
Some say you might go crazy
有人说你会变得疯狂
But then again it might make you go sane
但是或许这次你又将再一次走向癫狂
Every time I take a look
Inside that old and fabled book
每次我翻阅那本古老的寓言书时
I'm blinded and reminded of
The pain caused by some old man in the sky
都会想到天上的那位带来的苦难、蒙蔽了我自己的双眼
Marijuana, LSD
Psilocybin, and DMT
They all changed the way I see
大麻、致幻剂、迷幻药都只能让我产生幻觉
But love's the only thing that ever saved my life
唯有爱可以拯救我的人生
So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
Or fairy tales of blood and wine
别再为美酒和厮杀的童话童谣浪费精力了
It's turtles all the way down the line
这一路都是大海龟驮着小海龟
(具体含义请自行搜索WIKI)
So to each their own 'til we go home
所以每个人在回家前都有自我选择的权力
To other realms our souls must roam
去到我们灵魂必须放逐的另一国度
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
或是感受那叫做空间和时间的神话
