原歌词

[00:00.000]	作曲 : Andrew Nicholas Baughman
[00:31.289]	He's worked an 8 to 5 for the past 25 years
[00:34.911]	Knocking on the doors of every one of his peers to try make ends meet
[00:39.285]	But yet he spends nights awake hating himself as he walls in the self-pity defeat that he's associated as normal
[00:46.438]	And how does it feel to be normal?
[00:48.819]	It's an expression that's lost its meaning over time
[00:51.167]	When you spend each and every morning asking you to finally feel right
[00:54.792]	You eventually lose sight of everything that made you feel that way
[00:58.370]	Everything that made you feel human
[01:00.429]	He's become accustom to his days like trance that he's been living in
[01:04.544]	And maybe it's a form of comfort or an equal torment
[01:08.796]	But he won't help himself, he only lies dormant
[01:12.095]	Does your heart not feel complete
[01:22.327]	Does it feel love
[01:27.343]	Feel like anything
[01:37.910]	He's tired of living like his life is second to all
[01:41.826]	Like he has to deal with the world before himself
[01:45.510]	He's tired of coming home too late to an apartment too small
[01:49.723]	While this financial wall does a number on his back
[01:52.933]	And he could hear a faint snap as the days continue to move
[01:57.246]	There's a hole in the rug in the outer hall from pacing back and forth contemplating if any and all of his decisions have come back to haunt him
[02:05.007]	But if anything, it at least taught him choices he's made has led him to now
[02:09.633]	He'd trade anything to be able to go back to when he felt satisfied
[02:13.832]	And that his room was his only sanctuary to where he could run and hide
[02:19.047]	Does your heart not feel complete
[02:29.145]	Does it feel love
[02:34.141]	Feel like anything
[03:00.979]	He's been bitter and he's been broken
[03:02.737]	He gave his life for an empty purpose that never gave anything back
[03:07.484]	He's been told that what he socially lacks is made up for by his ability to care
[03:14.068]	That's not what he ever wanted
[03:16.310]	He just wanted to be aware

歌词翻译

[00:31.289]	过去25年里，他一直过着朝八晚五的生活。
[00:34.911]	为了勉强度日，他挨个敲响每位同行的门，四处奔走。
[00:39.285]	可到了夜里，他却常辗转反侧，一边厌恶着自己，一边深陷在自怨自艾的挫败感中，而他早已把这种状态当成了常态。
[00:46.438]	过着“正常”的生活，究竟是什么滋味？
[00:48.819]	这个词的含义，早已随着时间变得模糊不清。
[00:51.167]	当你每天清晨都在质问自己“感觉好些了吗”，
[00:54.792]	终有一天，你会忘记那些曾让你感动的瞬间，
[00:58.370]	忘记那些让你真切感受到“自己还是个人”的时刻。
[01:00.429]	他早已习惯了这样的日子，终日活在恍惚之中。
[01:04.544]	或许这是一种慰藉，也可能是一种同等的折磨。
[01:08.796]	可他不愿自救，只是一味地麻木度日。
[01:12.095]	你的心，是否从未感到完整？
[01:22.327]	是否感受过爱？
[01:27.343]	是否还能感知到任何真切的情绪？
[01:37.910]	他厌倦了这样的生活，仿佛自己的人生不值一提，
[01:41.826]	总要先应付外界的种种，才能顾及自己。
[01:45.510]	他厌倦了每次回家都已是深夜，面对的却是一间狭小的公寓；
[01:49.723]	而那座经济高墙，正重重地压在他的肩上。
[01:52.933]	日子一天天过去，他仿佛能听到自己内心某处传来微弱的崩裂声。
[01:57.246]	玄关的地毯上，早已被他来回踱步踏出了一个洞，正如他思考着，自己过去做的那些决定，是不是全都反过来成了困扰他的梦魇。
[02:05.007]	可至少，这些经历让他明白：是过去的每一个选择，把他带到了如今的境地。
[02:09.633]	他愿意付出一切，只为回到那个还能感受到满足的自己；
[02:13.832]	回到那个房间，那曾是他唯一能逃避、能躲藏的避风港。
[02:19.047]	你的心，是否从未感到完整？
[02:29.145]	是否感受过爱？
[02:34.141]	是否还能感知到任何真切的情绪？
[03:00.979]	他曾满心苦涩，也曾身心俱疲。
[03:02.737]	他把自己的人生耗在了一个毫无意义的目标上，而这个目标，从未给予他任何回报。
[03:07.484]	有人告诉他，他在社交上的不足，早已被他“懂得关心他人”的能力所弥补。
[03:14.068]	可这从来都不是他想要的。
[03:16.310]	他只是想被看见，想被理解。
