Lotus Gait

Lotus Gait - Propagandhi

以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供

I have this recurring nightmare

我总做这个反复的噩梦

Flailing pigeon her broken feet

一只扑腾的鸽子，折断的双脚

Frozen solid to the freezing pavement

被冻僵在冰冷的路面

I turn away as if I do not see

我转过身去，装作视而不见

I have this childhood memory

我有一个童年的记忆

Of my old man screaming

关于我父亲在驾驶座上

From the drivers seat

歇斯底里地尖叫

To turn away from an unfolding horror

试图逃避正在展开的恐怖

But he could not undo what I had seen

但他无法抹去我所目睹的一切

We never spoke of it again

我们再也没有提起过它

Two more hapless citizens of

两个更加无助的公民

The new post-traumatic

在这个新的创伤后

Stress worldwide disorder

全球压力紊乱中

A stockholm syndrome fifth estate

一种斯德哥尔摩综合症的第五阶层

Desperate to batten

拼命地想要封闭自己

Down the mounting horrors

深陷不断加剧的恐惧之中

And shuffle on in a global lotus gait

在全球化的麻木步伐中蹒跚前行

Content to marinate

满足于沉浸其中

In the plasma glow of the

在家庭娱乐的牢笼里

Home entertainment prisons we

我们共同面对的

Commune before like dime-store shrines

如同廉价祭坛前的朝拜

Are these but votive lives

这些是否只是献祭般的生活

A strangled twisted truss

一条被扭曲扼杀的支柱

That shores-up each of us

支撑着我们每个人

Anything to dull the pain

一切只为麻木痛苦

Of a splintered lotus gait

那破碎的莲花步态

As for me a filigree of psychic police tape

对我来说，精神警戒线的花边

Tends to cordon-off the darker scenes

试图封锁那些阴暗的场景

But the wandering mind stumbles through it

但游离的思绪却穿越其中

And relives them all eventually

最终重新经历这一切

Pries open wide your eyes

撬开你紧闭的双眼

And shines a painful light

并投下痛苦的光芒

On the guilt the fear the shame

照在愧疚、恐惧和羞耻之上

The courage never came

勇气从未到来

From the plasma glow of the

从家庭娱乐的荧光中

Home entertainment prisons we

我们共同面对的

Cling to like dime-store shrines

像廉价的神龛一样

Are these but votive lives

这些是否只是献祭般的生活

Conservative at heart

内心保守而封闭

A conformist from the start

从开始就是一个顺从者

A stockholm syndrome fifth estate

一种斯德哥尔摩综合症的第五阶层

A staggering lotus gait

蹒跚的莲花步态

It's a strangled twisted truss

这是一个被扼杀扭曲的支撑

That shores-up each of us

支撑着我们每个人

So anything to dull the pain

所以任何能麻痹痛苦的事

Of a self-inflicted crippling lotus gait

都是自我强加的残障莲花步态
