POMPEII

這首歌以龐貝城的覆沒和發現為靈感，暗喻自己也像龐貝那樣有着隱藏的才華未被挖掘 ^[2]  。龐貝（Pompeii）是位於意大利那波利灣岸邊的一座古城，古羅馬城市之一。龐貝歷史悠久，公元前79年8月24日時維蘇威火山噴發的一瞬間被火山灰埋在了地下，卻因此而保留了大量古羅馬帝國的建築遺蹟和藝術文物，成為世界上最為著名的古城遺址。 在龐貝出土的一幅壁畫中寫到“沒有任何東西可以永恆”，可突如其來的災難在毀滅了龐貝的同時也使得當時的古城風貌得以永生——能容納近2萬人的競技場、100多家酒吧、30多家麪包甜品店、可容納5千人的大劇院、鋪着整塊大石板的步行街、雕花石砌的水池和精美的壁畫……這一切都因為一場災難而躲過了歲月的侵襲，正如偉大的詩人歌德所説“在世界上發生的諸多災難中，還從未有過任何災難像龐貝一樣，它帶給後人的是如此巨大的愉悦。”

I was left to my own devices

我受困於自己佈下的局

Many days fell away with nothing to show

苦心經營多日依然一無所獲

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love

在這座我們熱愛的城市中 城牆仍在崩潰瓦解

Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above

狂風暴雨席捲而來 讓無盡黑暗籠罩大地

But if you close your eyes,

但若是你閉上雙眼

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

是否感覺一切依舊如昔

And if you close your eyes,

但若是你閉上雙眼

Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

是否感覺你曾經親臨此地

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

為何我還能對一切如此樂觀

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

為何我還能對一切如此樂觀

We were caught up and lost in all of our vices

我們深陷於墮落的泥沼中無法自拔

In your pose as the dust settles around us

塵埃泥土將我們完全掩埋

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love

在這座我們熱愛的城市中 城牆仍在崩潰瓦解

Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above

狂風暴雨席捲而來 讓無盡黑暗籠罩大地

But if you close your eyes,

但若是你閉上雙眼

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

是否感覺一切依舊如昔

And if you close your eyes,

但若是你閉上雙眼

Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

是否感覺你曾經親臨此地

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

為何我還能對一切如此樂觀

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

為何我還能對一切如此樂觀

Oh where do we begin?

噢 我們該從哪裏開始

The rubble or our sins?

從瓦礫中 抑或我們的罪孽中

Oh where do we begin?

噢 我們該從哪裏開始

The rubble or our sins?

從瓦礫中 抑或我們的罪孽中

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love

在這座我們熱愛的城市中 城牆仍在崩潰瓦解

Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above

狂風暴雨席捲而來 讓無盡黑暗籠罩大地

But if you close your eyes,

但若是你閉上雙眼

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

是否感覺一切依舊如昔

And if you close your eyes,

但若是你閉上雙眼

Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

是否感覺你曾經親臨此地

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

為何我還能對一切如此樂觀

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

為何我還能對一切如此樂觀

But if you close your eyes,

但若是你閉上雙眼

Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?

是否感覺一切依舊如昔 ^[1]
