大起大落

*Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over

And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall

Superstar you finally made it

But once your picture becomes tainted[弄臟]

It’s what they call

The rise and fall*

Repeat*

I always said that I was gonna make it

Now it’s plain for everyone to see

But this game I’m in don’t take no prisoners

Just casualties[犧牲品]

I know that everything is gonna change

Even the friends I knew before me go

But this dream is the life I’ve been searching for

Started believing that I was the greatest

My life was never gonna be the same

’Cause with the money came a different status[身份]

That’s when things change

Now I’m too concerned with all the things I own

Blinded by all the pretty girls I see

I’m beginning to lose my integrity[正直]

Repeat*

I never used to be a troublemaker

Now I don’t even wanna please the fans

No autographs[親筆簽名]， no interviews， no pictures

Endless demands

Gave in to vices[惡行] that were clearly wrong

The types that seemed to make me feel so right

But some things you may find can take over your life

Burnt all my bridges now I’ve run out of places

And there’s nowhere left for me to turn

Been caught in compromising[蒙羞的] situations

I should have learnt

From all those times I didn’t walk away

When I knew that it was best to go

Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart?

Repeat*

Now I know

I made mistakes

Think I don’t care

But you don’t realize what this means to me

So let me have

Just one more chance

I’m not the man I used to be

Used to be

Repeat*×3

*人生有些時(shí)候，你覺得不再需要奮斗

就像寫在墻上的字句，已成定局

歷經(jīng)一切，你終成巨星

但終有一日，你的照片不再光鮮

人們說

這就是人生起落*

重復(fù)*

過去我總說自己一定會成功

如今大家有目共睹

但我投身其中的游戲沒有贏家

人人都是犧牲品

我知道一切都將改變

連發(fā)跡前的老朋友也不能幸免

但這個(gè)夢想正是我苦苦追尋的人生

開始自詡天下無敵

人生從此不同

因?yàn)橛绣X就有勢

一切都會不一樣

如今的我只在乎自己擁有的東西

被眼前的美麗面孔沖昏了頭

如今的我正直不再

重復(fù)*

過去我并不喜歡惹是生非

如今我甚至不愿討好歌迷

不肯簽名，不接采訪，不讓拍照

卻諸多要求

無法抵擋顯而易見的惡行引誘

如此行徑反而感覺良好

但你漸漸發(fā)現(xiàn)，這些東西會蠶食生命

焚毀所有退路，令我無處藏身

而今求助無門

顏面盡失

我早該吸取教訓(xùn)

曾有多次應(yīng)抽身而退

我卻錯(cuò)失機(jī)會

如今表白真心，為時(shí)已晚嗎？

重復(fù)*

如今終于明白

我鑄成大錯(cuò)

自以為毫不在乎

但你不明白這對我多么重要

再一次

給我一次機(jī)會

我已浪子回頭

不再是過去的我

重復(fù)*3次

歌的故事

初聽總覺得旋律似曾相識，細(xì)想起來原來是Sting在《這個(gè)殺手不太冷》（Leon）結(jié)尾唱起的那破題一筆?！洞笃鸫舐洹肥荂raig David和Sting的合作，褪去了Sting本身的滄桑，憑著《七天》（7 Days）年少成名的Craig用他開創(chuàng)的“兩步/Garage”曲風(fēng)（接近爵士韻味但節(jié)奏上保持RB）將一份本該悔恨沉重的傷感情懷詮釋得圓潤流暢，有如情人細(xì)語般柔軟纏綿——電子鼓點(diǎn)仿佛車窗外晃過的路燈，娛樂圈的風(fēng)風(fēng)雨雨、是是非非也不過是一幕幕街景，在那優(yōu)雅又有質(zhì)感的人聲中，耐人尋味的歌詞愈發(fā)觸動(dòng)人心……
