Now I know
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart
But where's your heart
But where's your...
And I know
There's nothing I could say
To change that part
To change that part
To change...
So many
Bright lights to cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A loveless soul demanding
I can't speak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
Cause I'm out here
On the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A loveless soul demanding
I get weak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
These bright lights are always bright to me
These bright lights are always bright to me
I say
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying)
With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Awake and unafraid
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep (or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
FLW是专辑的最后一首歌,介于专辑中所谓的“黑色行军”乐团在游行完毕就不复存在,所以这首歌应该是乐团的告别宣言,说遗言可能有点不恰当吧。
歌里反复唱到了光和影,比如"So many bright lights, they cast a shadow"。他们是黑色的军团,却要有光才能衬出黑暗。光是一把双刃剑,可以创造他们也可以毁灭他们,这就有了后来的"These bright lights have always blinded me"。
另外这支黑色乐团成员的“性质”貌似不怎么相同,专辑里隐约提到过吸血鬼和狼人,这可能是他们不畏惧死亡和孤独的原因:"I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone. "
至于歌中的“你”,可能与前面歌里的“你”有相通之处,或许是深爱他却背叛了他的人。"I see you lying next to me, with words I thought I'd never speak. "
至于MV,由于是最后一首歌,最后一场演出,所以他们烧掉了舞台,摔坏了吉它。MV没有任何的修饰,完全是乐队发自内心的表演。没有特效,没有情节,却有最真挚感情的流露。
再说个小插曲吧,为了拍摄这个MV,鼓手Bob在身后的火已经烧到自己小腿的时候也坚持把音乐演奏完,后来伤口感染,Bob差点真的就挂了。 作者: gaojinr4 时间: 2009-12-20 19:56
