Was already opening a window before the action registered
行动之前我已打开了机窗
Clearing my throat I shook autopilot from my shoulders
清清嗓子抖抖肩膀上的自动驾驶仪
And welcomed fresh air to spill into my head
让新鲜空气涌入脑海
Like the first drag of a menthol cigarette
就像第一口薄荷醇香烟的感觉
It's been a while since I heard my own voice
有一段时间没听到自己的声音了
Whirling it's way through the cogs
它盘旋着穿过发动机齿轮
And cobwebs of my abandoned sense of self
和丧失知觉麻木的蛛网
It was a catalyst turning keys
像一剂催化剂转动了钥匙
In the ignition of my first car
将我第一辆车打起火
I swear the air came looking for me
我发誓这空气是来找我的
Or I for it subconsciously
或者潜意识里我在寻找它
It douses like a rainy late night drive
在瓢泼大雨的深夜行驶
Where the stop signs are dripping red velvet icing
停车标志掉了色 滴落红天鹅绒色的雨滴
Into puddled reflections
在水坑里映出倒影
Irish hail gripping cars like a one night stand
爱尔兰冰雹像一夜情一样有吸引力
Lipstick smudging with every wiper swiped
随着雨刷刷动口红弄脏了车窗
Nostalgia lives up to the hype
怀旧果然不负众望
And it makes me feel okay
让我宽慰许多
Perplexed it paralyses like a surprise embrace
我很迷惑像被意外拥抱一样麻木
I just stand there stoned
我飘飘然站在那里
And laughing with a stupid look on my face
脸上带着愚蠢的表情大笑
I grant myself permission to wake up
我的内心允许自己醒来
I tug the blue bread from my ears
我扯出耳朵里阴郁的声音
And hold hands with my depression
与我的忧伤握手言和
Acting like a transplant patient testing out new eyes
像等待移植的病人试用新的眼睛
Looking at life as if it were the first time
像初入人世那样看待生活
It's hard to believe the scene
很难相信这一幕
I'm wide eyed by the window
我睁大眼睛望着窗子
In awe at the wonder of simply being
对简单存在的奇迹充满敬畏
Clouds paint temporary arts on the worlds ceiling
云彩在世界的天花板上画着短暂的艺术品
And my one bed apartment feels like a coliseum
我的单人公寓像个体育馆
For a moment I can exhale every mistake I've ever made
有段时间我能吐露出犯过的错误
To create space for lessons I've not learnt yet
为尚未经历的事物腾出空间
Sugar rushes like a high to soak up the bitterness in me
于是甜蜜的感觉冲出来中和了苦涩
At full lung capacity I feel pretty
肺活量充足感觉良好
But in a handsome way
但是非常潇洒地
When she comes home from work
她下班回家了
I assume the lenses are faulty
我想是我的镜片问题
I'd forgotten the effect her presence has on me
我忘了她的存在对我的影响
A tempestuous tidal wave manifests in her mouth
猛烈的潮汐从她嘴里喷涌而出
Just before she says that she loves me
就在她说爱我之前
And I'm one sorry motherf**ker to have to have ever doubted so
我这混蛋实在抱歉竟然怀疑过这一点
I'm alive and I can feel it
我还活着我能感受到
I sit with the night in appreciation of my own creation
我与夜同坐欣赏着自己的创造
Of weeds growing on the street adjacent
那就是相邻街道上长出的杂草
Of this ability to hear a world in operation
欣赏倾听世界运作的能力
I'm alive and I can feel it
我还活着我能感受到
When the song Tinseltown by the Blue Nile comes on
蓝尼罗河边的小镇唱起歌
When something sits right on my stubborn body type
孩子坐在我笨重的身体上
When she doesn't know the words but still sings along
她不认识歌词却还跟着唱
I'm alive and I can feel it
我还活着我能感受到
In a hesitant goodbye on a phone call from back home
在从家里打来的电话中犹豫不决地道别中
In the healing of the ozone layer
在臭氧层的修复中
In the first crunch of Tayto cheese
在塔坨奶酪的第一声嘎吱作响中
And onion after months of being deprived
在给存放了几个月的洋葱剥皮中
I'm alive and I won't take it for-granted
我还活着我也心存感激
When my guitar fulfils a pipe dream
因为我的吉他助我实现了梦想
When my culinary attempts don't taste like bin juice
因为我的烹饪尝起来不那么糟糕
When her naked interpretive dance is accidentally profound
因为她裸着舞蹈给我留下深刻的印象
I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive
我还活着 我还活着 我还活着
