最近愛上這首歌,1/25在美國告示牌較上周上升一名,排名第九,
旋律搖滾震撼,歌詞頗黑暗的。可以用來激勵自己,也可以用來宣洩看清世事的現實。
歌詞運用許多英文押韻,運用許多隱喻暗示,很耐人尋味。
每個人都可以用理性控制住,背後那一段不願面對的苦衷.無奈與黑暗,你可以說它是在敘述人性本惡。
當一切崩壞、失去最後的希望,就算是聖人,都難以緊閉心底最深處的黑暗,控制不住潘朵拉的盒子....
MV影片穿插每個人背後都有黑暗與痛苦,最後一段是主唱得知超級粉絲癌症過世的消息,有種理性崩壞的感覺。獻給2013-11月~2014-2月的自己。
《Demons》(魔鬼)-Imagine Dragons(迷幻樂團)
When the days are cold 當氣溫日漸寒冷
And the cards all fold 當希望全部落空
And the saints we see 當你曾信仰的神聖
are all made of gold 也不過是膚淺的銅臭
When your dreams all fail當夢想一再破滅
And the ones we hail當發現曾經擁戴的人哪
are the worst of all有著最差勁的品格
And the blood's run stale流著最腐敗的血
I wanna hide the truth企圖隱瞞真相
I wanna shelter you試著做你的守護
But with the beast inside但是內心的野獸啊
There's nowhere we can hide是無法壓抑的
No matter what we breed無論什麼養育了我們
We still are made of greed都無法改變貪婪的本性
This is my kingdom come而邪惡的本性終將統治我們
This is my kingdom come終將控制我們
When you feel my heat當你感受到我的體溫
Look into my eyes看透我的雙眼
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
Don't get too close別試著探索
It's dark inside我黑暗無比的內心
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
Curtain's call到了謝幕的時候
Is the last of all到了一切結束的時候
When the lights fade out當燈光暗下
All the sinners crawl所有罪惡開始蠕動
So they dug your grave他們挖掘你的墳墓
And the masquerade他們撕掉你的假面
Will come calling out你所做的一切糟糕事
At the mess you've made正呼喚著他們的來到
Don't wanna let you down不想讓你失望
But I am hell bound但我也是終將踏入地獄之人
Though this is all for you我不想再隱瞞真相
Don't wanna hide the truth雖然一切都是因你而起
No matter what we breed無論什麼養育了我們
We still are made of greed都無法改變貪婪的本性
This is my kingdom come而邪惡的本性終將統治我們
This is my kingdom come終將控制我們
When you feel my heat當你感受到我的體溫
Look into my eyes看透我的雙眼
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
Don't get too close別試著探索
It's dark inside我黑暗無比的內心
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
They say it's what you make
他們說這是你自作孽
I say it's up to fate我說命運決定了一切
It's woven in my soul儘管靈魂深處糾結著
I need to let you go我仍需放你走
Your eyes, they shine so bright你的雙眸 多麼澄澈明亮
I wanna save that light我想要收藏這種光芒
I can't escape this now我沒有辦法掙脫
Unless you show me how除非你教我怎麼做
When you feel my heat當你感受到我的體溫
Look into my eyes看透我的雙眼
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
Don't get too close別試著探索
It's dark inside我黑暗無比的內心
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
It's where my demons hide潛伏的魔鬼就在那裏
