《心碎》On...

 On “Heart Broken”


Most people use their hearts
As weaponry --- bricks
Chains, clubs & bombs
They go chasing, banging
Like headless chicken blind bats
Hitting ridiculous surfaces
And shadows of the moon

It has been proved that
One can turn the heart
Into stone, steel & ice
Much easier than keeping
The undying senses alive
Aroused and above all
Approachable and absorbing
When the signals are messed
Up in the cold untelling air

We are fragile creatures
With a very thin skin
Protecting our pride & bearing
Most people smile in denial
Most people lie in order not to die
Most people claim they have a life
Drinking dynamite at night
Sucking blood in broad daylight

You are not one of them, Friend!
But watch out! Suckers and
Liars are grabbing the mike
On the stage up high, dressing
In neon light; their faces god-like
Turning from green to white
Their fists thrashing biblically
With money and knives

Your heart is no match
For such a vanity fair
Your heart has keener ears
And it needs cleaner air
To survive fire, tears
And all that is human
So let’s find a better
Metaphor next time
(when the sky is dark
and the hours snowing)
for what’s made
Of love and blood

《心碎》

大众惯用其心
作武器 --- 砖头
铁链、棍棒还有炸弹
他们追逐，打斗
象一群无头的鸡瞎眼的蝙蝠
撞击着荒谬的地面和月亮的投影

事实证明了
把心变成
石头、钢铁和冰块
比让它保持
不朽的本性更难
但最难的是
让它在寒冷无名的空气中
充满紊乱的信号时
还能亲近被理解

人是脆弱的生灵
只有一层薄薄的皮肤
掩盖我们的自尊和态度
很多人否认的时候微笑着
很多人为了偷生而撒谎
很多人声称他们活得好
其实他们日吸鲜血
暮饮炸药

你不是他们中的一员，朋友！
只是要小心了！马屁精和
骗子正挥舞着麦克风
在高高的舞台上，身披
霓虹灯，他们那上帝一样的脸孔
一会儿绿一会儿白
他们的拳头
神圣般地挥舞着
手里攥着钱财和匕首

你的心不属于
这样一个虚浮的秀
你的心有着聪彗的耳
它需要清新的空气
好生存于人类所有的
烈火、眼泪之中
所以让我们下一次
(当天色灰暗
茫茫飘雪的时候)
为爱与血的结合
找一个更好的比喻
