Eh-eh-o eh-o [4x]
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Eh-eh-o eh-o [4x]
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Eh-eh-o eh-o [4x]
这首歌从今年三月发表后受到广泛注意,在另类歌曲排行第一有一段时间了。歌词有点无厘头(比如说什么“从何说起,是倒塌的城墙还是我们的罪恶?”,问题是火山爆发不是因为你建了城市有了罪恶,而是自然界决定的,和人们有罪没罪毫无关系),可是曲调旋律里有什么东西在抓住人的耳力和听觉。也许,是那种排山倒海而来的无可奈何的 感觉吧。也许,当多年前维苏威火山爆发时,庞贝城居民无路可逃只好坐以待毙的心情就是这样?
过来问个好并祝周末愉快!
