I. Someone Like Him:
I never wanted to become someone like him so secure
我从未想过要成为像他那样安定的人
Content to live each day just like the last
满足于日复一日地重复着同样的生活
I was sure I knew that this was not for me
我确信这并不适合我
And I wanted so much more
我渴望的远不止如此
Far beyond what I could see
超越我所能看到的一切
So I swore that I'd never be someone like him
于是我发誓永远不会成为像他那样的人
So many years have passed since I proclaimed
自从我宣告以来,已经过去了许多年
My independence my mission
我的独立 我的使命
My aim and my vision so secure
我的目标和愿景 如此坚定
Content to live each day like it's my last
满足于把每一天当作最后一天来活
It's wonderful to know that I could be
知道我可以成为
Something more than what I dreamed
超越梦想的存在
Far beyond what I could see
超越我所能看到的一切
Still I swear that I'm missing out this time
但我仍觉得这次错过了什么
As far as I could tell there's nothing more I need
就我所知 我已无所求
But still I ask myself could this be everything
但我仍自问 这一切是否就是全部
Then all I swore that I would never be was now
曾经发誓永远不要成为的样子 如今却已成真
So suddenly the only thing I wanted to become
突然间 我唯一渴望成为的
To be someone just like him
就是像他那样的人
II. Medicate(Awakening):
II. 药物作用(苏醒):
A doctor sitting next to me
医生坐在我身旁
He asks me how I feel
他询问我的感受
Not sure I understand his questioning
我不确定是否理解他的问题
He says I've been away a while
他说我已经离开了一段时间
But thinks he has cured me
但他认为他已经治愈了我
From a state of catatonic sleep
从一种木僵的沉睡中
For 30 years where have I been
Eyes open but not getting through to me
Medicate me infiltrate me
Side effects appear as my conscience slips away
Medicate me science failing
Conscience fading fast can't you stop what's happening
A higher dosage he prescribes
But there's no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot a brief awakening
I feel the relapse can't break free
Eyes open but not getting through to me
Medicate me infiltrate me
Side effects appear as my conscience slips away
Medicate me science failing
Conscience fading fast can't you stop what's happening
III. Full Circle:
Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready
Jack the ripper Owens Wilson Phillips and my supper's ready
Lucy in the sky with diamond Dave's not here I come to save the
Day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again
Running forward falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward reaching in
Scream without a sound
Leaning over crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place only to
Find I've come full circle
Flying off the handle be careful with
That axe Eugene gene the dance machine
Messiah light my fire gabba gabba
Hey hey my my generation's home again
Running forward falling back
Spinning round and round
Looking outward reaching in
Scream without a sound
Leaning over crawling up
Stumbling all around
Losing my place only to
Find I've come full circle
IV. Intervals:
Root our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path
Second asking questions search for clues
The answer's been right in front of you
Third try to break through long to connect
Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath
Fourth loyalty trust faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire
Fifth tortured Insanity a smothering hell
Try to escape but no avail
Sixth the calls of admirers who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more
Seventh innocent victims of merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
Octave step after step we try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it has become too late
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
V. Razor's Edge:
We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began
这个故事在它开始的地方结束
