50,000 (New Version)

Another obituary in the paper today
報紙上又是一則訃告
One more for the list of those who've already fallen
隕落的巨星，名單上又多了一個名字
Another one of our comrades is taken down
又一位老戰友倒下了
Like so many others of our calling
與常人無異，蒙召而去
We tweet our anecdotes, our commentary
我們把它當做奇聞異事，發推特，寫評論
Or we sing his songs in some sad tribute
或者在某個悲傷的追掉會上，吟唱他們的歌
While the tabloids are holding a story of kiss and tell
八卦小報，花邊新聞不斷報導
That he's no longer able to deny or refute
然而，他卻再也無法駁斥，無法辯解

五萬聲音澎湃洶湧，隨他每次歌唱
50, 000 voices rising every time he'd sing
他曾寫下的每個字，在他心間迴響
And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him
我們演出的體育場，我記憶猶新
How well I remember the stadiums we played
燈光掃過人山人海，我們面前的五萬個靈魂
And the lights sweeping across a sea of 50, 000 souls we'd face
一種無法擺脫的藥物
A serious drug that you could never kick
你不能想像還有什麼能夠替代
Or one that you couldn't imagine you'd ever replace
我們像風箏一樣飛，安非他命做翅膀

貝斯和鼓的律動將我們保全
We flew like kites on the wings of amphetamine
但這一些意義何在
Secured only to a bass line and a snare drum beat
沉思與失敗之中，蘊含更深的哲理
But really what did any of it mean?
五萬聲音山呼海嘯，隨他每次歌唱
When there's a higher philosophy in reflection and defeat
他曾寫下的每個字，在他心間迴響
50, 000 voices rising every time he' d sing
依然堅信那句老話，連你自己都背叛的謊言
And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him
老炮不死，只是凋零
Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays
反思我自己的過去
Rock Stars don't ever die, they only fade away
困囿於自己的牢籠

今天我感覺好一點
Reflecting now on my own past
儘管浴室的鏡子告訴我，事實並非如此
Inside this prison I've made of myself
壓力化成的皺紋，一隻充血的眼睛
I'm feeling a little better today
形容枯槁，如同鬼魅
Although the bathroom mirror is telling me something else
我的眼鏡盒放在哪兒了？
These lines of stress, one bloodshot eye
我耳聾眼花
The unhealthy pallor of a troubled ghost
五萬隻手高舉揮舞，為你，為我
Where did I put my spectacle case?
我們創造著神明，賦予他們永恆與不朽
I'm half blind and as deaf as any post
依然堅信那句老話，你自己都難以堅守的謊言

老炮不死，只是凋零
50, 000 hands are raised to a man that's just like you and me
We create the gods we can and gift them immortality
Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays
Rock Stars don't ever die, they only fade away
