In Defence of Madness

We're out of time
我們時間不多了，
And out of money
錢也即將耗盡了。
What made me think this was the land of milk and honey?
究竟是什麼讓我誤以為這是一片淨土？
It's time to go
我們得走了，
And no more dreaming
沒時間給你放飛所謂的理想了，
Walk in the rain under streetlight
此時我孤身一人冒雨漫步
Pavement gleaming
在街燈之下。
I'm kind of blue
我抑鬱到了極點，
But I'll be okay
但我絕對沒事。
I wasn't looking for a fairy tale anyway
我並沒有四處追尋那虛無的童話故事。
'Hello, my name is Happy,
“你好，我的名字叫歡樂，
Let me sing to you
讓我為你詠唱，
And maybe we can be friends?'
沒準某天我們能成為朋友呢？”
The peace and laughter came to such a savage end
我僵持著微笑與和平最後卻迎來這慘痛的結局。
But that's alright
但那也沒關係，
That's alright
沒關係，
It's alright
這都沒關係。
It's not for her
這並不是為了她，
She was taken with a strong disinclination
她隨著一種強烈的憎恨離開了。
She's in your head
你的腦海裡全是她，
You wrote her resume
你讓她重新開始，
She's gonna find herself another occupation
但她自己明明能找到更好的前進方向。
Take out a loan
拋開那些表象，
Enroll in classes
逐漸成立一種階級。
You're working nights and now you can't afford new glasses
你在夜晚勞作而現在你卻買不起另一副眼鏡。
'Maybe together
“也許在一起
We can break it down,
我們就能打破界限，
And build something new'
然後發現一片新大陸。”
A flash of colour and she's gone
最耀眼的她已經離開了，對，
The one you hoped to pursue
就是你不斷追求的那位。
You'll never know if all you had to say
你永遠不知道你該說什麼，如果你不得不說，
Was 'I love you'
就說“我愛你”吧。
I love you too
我當然也愛你了，
But that's alright
但那樣也沒關係。
It's alright, that's alright...
沒關係，這都沒關係。
And when you're done
在你取得成就時，
They say you're pretty
他們夸你幹得漂亮。
You've got another small apartment in the city
而事實上你在世上還有另一個歸宿。
It's only words
這僅僅是推辭，
No real story
並不是那真相。
No eucatastrophe, no hidden allegory
也沒有善意的災禍與隱含的真理。
Go for a walk
去散步吧，
No destination
無需任何理由。
Stay off the train, there'll be no one at the station
請遠離列車，車站上誰都不值得去等。
'I'm gonna see you on the other side
“而我會在世界的彼岸與你相見，
I'm counting on you today'
在此之前，我得一直撐到那天。”
And fearless promises will only fade away
不經深恩熟慮的承諾最終只會消逝。
But that's alright
但那也沒關係，
That's alright
沒關係，
That's alright
沒關係，
That's alright
沒關係，
That's alright
沒關係，
That's alright
沒關係，
That's alright...
沒關係……
