Noah Kahan - Catastrophize
中英歌詞

今天要分享的是Noah Kahan首張EP《Hurt Sombody》中的Catastrophize,節奏相較其他歌曲更為緊湊,有別於他往常的柔和曲風,但讓我一聽就著迷。

Noah在Facebook分享,當初寫這首歌,是想給感到焦慮的自己作為「心靈說明指引」。網媒採訪問道:「EP裡哪一首歌是讓你最驕傲的?」Noah回答:「每一首歌都讓我驕傲,因為它們都很誠實坦率,並且對我來說極具個人意義。如果非要選一首不可,我想是Catastrophize。」就連粉絲在推特詢問他最愛EP哪一首歌,他也回覆一樣的曲名,可見連他本人也很著迷這首歌曲呀(笑)。

Catastrophize 意指將事情「災難化」,過度預設所有糟糕的可能性,而這是在長期憂慮的Noah身上時常能看見的狀況。他希望能寫一首歌來誠實描繪自己,盡可能忠實呈現他內心的脆弱與矛盾。這首歌正是在他躁狂時所寫下的,也如他所希望地呈現出心神躁動的感覺。

So when my thoughts take off may I breathe deep
當思緒脫軌時,但願我能深呼吸
Lord, hold me strong when old loss comes to meet me
神啊,請讓我堅強以對,當過往的失敗縈繞著我
Keep my fingers crossed, keep my knees weak
我感到軟弱無助,只能祈求好運
Are we all such fragile things?
難道我們就如此脆弱嗎?

And may we remember the past but not hang on to our old ways
但願我們記住過往,可是別緊抓不放
Let's pity laugh at the jokes we tell in bad taste
我們說出口的爛笑話,就假笑帶過吧
All my friends think I'm funny in a sad way
朋友們都覺得我好笑到可悲
But they know not how they speak
但他們不知道自己在說什麼

Oh my god
老天
While you sit and wait for time to change your luck
當你空坐著等待時間來改變運氣
And open up those blinds
並打開那些緊閉的窗
Oh don't you know
難道你不知道嗎
Don't you know that you're the last thing on my mind
你不知道我根本沒將你放心上嗎
Oh I, Catastrophize
噢 我又悲觀過頭了
Oh I, Catastrophize
噢 我又悲觀過頭了

Let me see the world through the kindness of my dad's eyes
讓我透過爸爸那善良的角度看這世界吧
Let every photograph be taken from my bad side
讓每張照片都呈現我不完美的一面吧
So when the world sees my face they'll never ask why
如此一來當大家見到我就不會驚訝
I look the way I do
我從不偽裝

So let my soul be the only thing to guide me
讓我的靈魂成為唯一的導引
I'll tour the world and hope my anger dies behind me
我環遊世界,希望怒氣在身後消逝而去
So if I fail I can blame it on bad timing
這樣若我做得不好,就能怪罪時機不對
I'll love nothing that I can lose
我只擁抱永不會失去的東西
 

Oh my god
老天
While you sit and wait for time to change your luck
當你空坐著等待時間來改變運氣
And open up those blinds
並打開那些緊閉的窗
Oh don't you know
難道你不知道嗎
Don't you know that you're the last thing on my mind
你不知道我根本沒將你放心上嗎
Oh I, Catastrophize
噢 我又悲觀過頭了
Oh I, Catastrophize
噢 我又悲觀過頭了

Oh my god
老天
While you sit and wait for time to change your luck
當你空坐著等待時間來改變運氣
And open up those blinds
並打開那些緊閉的窗
Oh don't you know
難道你不知道嗎
Don't you know that you're the last thing on my mind
你不知道我根本沒將你放心上嗎
Oh I, Catastrophize
噢 我又悲觀過頭了
Oh I, Catastrophize
噢 我又悲觀過頭了
