大虎士革

最近發現的歌曲，來自美東的光陰似箭合唱團（Timeflies）最新的單曲。關於他們的小檔案，推薦這裡

還不錯聽啦，朗朗上口的副歌，搭配模仿熱帶浩室的間奏，意圖跟近年的趨勢沾上邊（言重了XD）

歌詞也算有相當的內容。但我相信很快就會聽膩了（攤手）

另外，整首歌貌似有一種說不上來的熟悉？是我想太多嗎？

底下有歌詞解析。

I thought I would know better／我希望自己能夠洞悉人情
That's wishful thinkin'／那簡直天方夜譚
Thought there'd be no pressure／妄想有個無憂無慮的天堂
That's wishful drinkin'／完全是痴人夢話
Is anything forever or just a feeling?／所謂的永恆是否為假象罷了？
What have I been so afraid of?／我怎麼變得如此多慮？
I don't know／不明白啊！

From Brooklyn to New York, then off to the West／從布魯克林至全紐約，從東岸至西岸
In Cali, no Khaled, but fuck, we the best／直到加州，不是家中，我們都是最屌的
My stripes, stay American, lemme express／我是星條旗的最佳模特
And I keep it as live as a Total Request／在舞台上把它混搭的活靈活現
Then they ask me these questions／而他們問我
Like, "How do you do it?／「你是怎麼辦到的？」
Press and the road and the music"／如何樂觀的面對每一天？
Truth is, I'm always up, I'm always down／但真相卻是，我的心情總是難以平靜
Worry about everyone else／顧慮著旁人眼光

But once in a while, I catch myself／可是偶爾，我會停下腳步
Once in a while, I ask myself／有那麼片刻，我問我自己
What am I doing?／究竟在幹嘛啊？
Once in a while, I need your help／有那麼一瞬間，我需要你的援手
But once in a while I feel like／可是有時候，我感覺自己
I just wanna dance／只想盡情手舞足蹈
I feel good, I feel good
I feel good, I feel good／感覺爽到不行

I live life like my blood type, B positive／我是標準的樂天Ｂ型血
These days something got me feeling quite the opposite／最近卻因煩惱而沮喪
Music like my heroin, but all I hear is poppy shit／音樂曾是我的海洛因，現在聽來卻像念經
Time to get up off of it and watch somebody copy it／該打起精神了，然後笑看某個憂鬱的人
I'm West bound down and out／我是另一個「職棒鮮師」
Feeling fake now like somebody found me out／承受著眾目睽睽下的焦慮與空虛
Need to slow down, I'm brownin' out／一切太過躁進，我得好好冷靜
So many thoughts, lemme drown 'em out／讓我把千思萬緒通通丟進大海

I thought I would know better／我希望自己能夠洞悉人情
That's wishful thinkin'／那簡直天方夜譚
Thought there'd be no pressure／妄想有個無憂無慮的天堂
That's wishful drinkin'／完全是痴人夢話
Is anything forever or just a feeling?／所謂的永恆是否為假象罷了？
What have I been so afraid of?／我怎麼變得如此多慮？
I don't know／不明白啊！

But once in a while, I catch myself／可是偶爾，我會停下腳步
Once in a while, I ask myself／有那麼片刻，我問我自己
What am I doing?／究竟在幹嘛啊？
Once in a while, I need your help／有那麼一瞬間，我需要你的援手
But once in a while I feel like／可是有時候，我感覺自己
I just wanna dance／只想盡情手舞足蹈
I feel good, I feel good
I feel good, I feel good／感覺爽到不行

I've been looking at where we're going／不斷地尋找我們的目標
There's no slowin' down to go back／時光也一去不復返
And thinking of where we've been／努力地回憶我們的初衷
No one's ever been given a road map／路是靠自己走出來的
Say "Slow down, turn here, graduate and work here／記住，「放慢步伐，傾聽自己的聲音
Come and get a raise when you finish up your first year"／一年後，你將大有斬獲」
No, if you're doing it, you're doing it right／如果你正在這樣做，請繼續保持
Keep it movin', now tell me what you're doing tonight／堅持下去，現在告訴我你打算做什麼
Cause sometimes we're up, sometimes we're down／因為我們有想笑的時候，也有想哭的時候
Don't worry about anyone else／不要擔心旁人的眼光

But once in a while, I catch myself／可是偶爾，我會停下腳步
Once in a while, I ask myself／有那麼片刻，我問我自己
What am I doing?／究竟在幹嘛啊？
Once in a while, I need your help／有那麼一瞬間，我需要你的援手
But once in a while I feel like／可是有時候，我感覺自己
I just wanna dance／只想盡情手舞足蹈
I feel good, I feel good
I feel good, I feel good／感覺爽到不行

註一：「In Cali, no Khaled, but fuck, we the best」這句是在玩Cali（加州）跟Dj Khaled的諧音梗。

註二：「I'm West bound down and out」是改編自HBO的搞笑劇集《Eastbound down and out／職棒鮮師》，該劇在講述一個大聯盟球員因傷引退後回到老家的中學當體育老師，頂著自己是「光榮退休」的謊言與學生發生一連串的趣事。
