The Dream

Yeah
Yeah
Lately I feel like the devil's watching, he taunts me
最近我总感觉恶魔在注视着我 嘲笑着我
I been having these thoughts in my head, they haunt me
这些想法萦绕于我的耳畔
I been trying to keep my focus but I keep having this dream
我尝试着集中注意力保持清醒 但我还是总做着这样一个梦
That I lost my life when I got shot in 2015, and
梦见在2015年我中枪身亡
I walk around my city and no one sees me
梦见我在城市里游荡 但没人看得见我
I used to think, "If I died it would be so easy"
我常常想: 如果没有我 凡事都会很顺利吧
Well, here I am, feel like everyone left me
我在这里 感觉所有人都离开了我
Now I'm back at home and everything feels so empty
现在我回到了家中 一切都显得那么空洞
Upstairs I see the girl I love crying alone
我看见我所爱的女孩在楼上独自哭泣
I see the cuts on her wrists, she's scared of dying alone
我看见了她手腕上的割痕 看见了她对无声无息地死去的害怕
I said her name softly, I swear that she looked right at me
我柔声呼唤她的名字 我很肯定她也看向了我
That's when I tried to walk up to her,
但当我走向她时
But she walked past me, damn
她却从我身旁走过 哎。
At my funeral, they dressed in all black
在我的葬礼上 他们着一身黑色
Everybody mourning my death while I stand in the back
所有人都在哀悼我的逝世 我站在阴影里
And I look at they faces, in they eyes the pain is so clear
我看向他们的脸 他们眼里的痛苦多么显而易见
But the people that I called my friends, they ain't even here
但那些我称之为朋友的人却不在席上
Crazy how quickly they forget, instead of mourning my death
太扯了吧 他们忘的可真快 而没有来哀悼我
They fighting over who gets the house
他们忙着争论房子归谁
And who gets the checks, damn
他们忙着争夺继承权
I gave my heart to these people throughout these songs
我通过这些歌来将我的心意传达给这些人
And it's sad to know that
但残酷的是——
None of it matters now that I'm gone, damn
我不在人世了 那就当什么也没发生吧
Yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah
All my albums are on the charts,
我的所有专辑都很火
And all the radios wanna play me
所有电台都想放我的歌
I guess it took me to die for them to appreciate me
我猜 为了让他们能赞颂我 我得死一死
I see them posting and saying how much they miss me
我看见他们为我写报道 说他们多么想念我
But back when I was alive
但当时光回溯到我还活着的时候
And depressed they ain't never hit me
那时他们从不会关注我 这实在令人沮丧啊
Before I died they all used to hate me, but now it's funny
在我死之前他们都讨厌我 但现在态度却转变了 真有趣呵
They post pictures,
他们寄来令我不安的图片
They all tryin' to claim me but never loved me
他们都想向我索取什么 他们从未爱过我
Spit on my name when I was alive, I'll never forget
当我尚在人世时他们向我吐唾沫 我是永远不会忘记的了
It's sad that they wait till you die to show they respect, but
但真令人难过了 他们等到我死后才表达对我的敬意
Finally all the people who I looked up to
最后那些我所尊敬的人
Say how they respect me, saying they woulda loved to
说着他们有多尊敬我 说着他们多希望
Meet me in the past, but it's too late for that now
能在以前就认识我 但现在一切都太晚了
The way these people used to treat me,
这些人曾经是怎样对待我的啊
They can't take it back now
现在他们是收不回去的
People tell stories about how we were close
他们讲述我们以往有多亲近
And how they would ride for me
直言他们能怎样为我做牛做马
I know I'm gone, but that energy they can't hide from me
我知道我已不在人世 但他们充沛的精力是瞒不过我的
Award shows and these red carpets the same
他们活跃在颁奖典礼 这些红毯还是一样的
They make these tributes to my name,
他们对我的名致以敬意
But back then they never invited me
但在曾经他们从未想起过我
Look, I'm at the Grammys,
瞧瞧——留声机里放着我的歌
I wish I could tell my mom I made it
我希望我能告诉我的妈妈 我成功了
It only took a hole in my head to be nominated
想被他人认可只需向我的脑袋开一枪
I looked for love from these people but all along
我从那些人身上寻找爱
What they said was true,
但一直以来他们说的其实都对：
They don't love you until you gone, ****
直到你离开人世 他们才会分一点爱给你
But the truth is this life never goes the way you plan it
但事实是 生活总是跌宕起伏 扑朔迷离
I guess the point of this song
我猜这首歌是想告诉人们
Is don't take your life for granted
在生活中不要总是想当然
And appreciate people while they still here
要多多赞美身边的人
And before you judge someone take a look in the mirror
在你批判别人之前请照照镜子看看自己
Because at any moment anything could happen
这首歌这样说是因为 意外随时会发生
Nothing is ever promised, but you can just imagine
没有任何事是被保证的 但还是可以幻想一下
How it would be, so I give the type of love I want for me
怎样才能让它被保证呢 所以我选择自爱
'Cause one day it'll be my last
我这样想是因为 总有一天我会死去
And it won't just be a dream, I mean
也因为上述的一切不只是一场梦那么简单
