Staring At The Fire - Mike Posner
Lyrics by:Mike Posner
Composed by:Mike Posner
Produced by:Ricky Reed/Mike Posner/Nate Mercereau
I've always had trouble staying still
我总是静不下来
I stand next to what I hate just for the thrill
为了刺激 我会故意接近自己讨厌的东西
Spent the first quarter of my life on a million dollar bill
浪费了大好的时光去追名逐利
'Cause I can't stop staring at the fire
因为我就是喜欢袖手旁观
We got our crosses and our buildings built 'em tall
我们修起四通八达的马路 建起高高的房子
And my book's another brick inside the wall
书本只是用来逃离外界的借口
We sure make ourselves feel busy but we don't do much at all
我们看起来忙忙碌碌 实际上一事无成
Except sit around and stare at the fire
还不如闲坐下来 袖手旁观
And the protesters have gathered in the streets
街上聚集了很多抗议者
Opposite a block full of police
前面有无数警察组成人墙进行拦截
But they both have the same problem with God as you and me
但他们都和你我一样 有着同样的问题
It's that they can't stop staring at the fire
他们总是喜欢袖手旁观
Watch it burn burn burn
看着世界慢慢毁灭
Watch it burn burn burn
看着世界慢慢毁灭
Watch it burn burn burn
看着世界慢慢毁灭
Watch it burn burn burn
看着世界慢慢毁灭
Went to an ashram a million miles from here
去到万里外的修院
An old man on a blanket appeared
见到一个披着毛毯的老人
He waved me to come closer and he whispered in my ear
他向我招手 示意我过去 在我耳边轻声说
"Son you've got to stop staring at the fire"
孩子 你不能再袖手旁观了
But all my ego trips come in flocks
但那时的我被自尊心冲昏了头脑
And they tell me"Kid it's really not that hot"
他们都对我说 孩子 其实没有那么可怕
Take your anxiety and your guilt just throw it all on top
放下你的焦虑和内疚吧
Now I can't stop standing in the fire
如今我只想加入其中
Oh watch me burn burn burn
看我浴火奋战吧
Watch me burn burn burn
看我浴火奋战吧
Watch me burn burn burn
看我浴火奋战吧
Watch me burn burn burn
看我浴火奋战吧
Oh watch me burn burn burn
看我浴火奋战吧
Watch me burn burn burn
看我浴火奋战吧
Watch me burn burn burn
看我浴火奋战吧
Watch me burn burn burn
看我浴火奋战吧
