专辑开篇曲Love Is Dead便可以感觉出来,这首歌唱出了一个男人对于人生的哀叹,他已不再向往爱,因为爱已将他放入了空洞之中。也暗含了他对爱和虚伪的人们的失望. 你可能会觉得这不是一首能给你带来愉悦感受的歌, 那么你是对的. Anderson独特的嗓音一定会让你想起之前乐队时期那些感人的时刻, 也许一切都没有大的改变, 他的戏剧人生在这里却波澜不惊. 开始的歌词"一切都没有以正常的方向前进 也没有什么曾在我的生命中留下痕迹"奠定了整盘专辑的基调. 简单的说, 体现出作者脆弱与内省的一面. Brett Anderson希望用这张专辑来反映自己的内心深处的想法,脱掉以前辉煌时期虚假的外衣,将最真实的感情表现出来,在加上一些对社会世俗的一些厌恶。专辑的封面和内页制作也是Brett Anderson亲自花时间来制作的,墙上的贴纸和一些照片。目的是想让人们了解他生活的中的自己,把自己的兴趣与自己身边的亲人放入其中。所以说,当一个人真真正正的表达出自己情感的时候,又有什么失望不失望的。--------------------------------------------
Nothing ever goes right, nothing really flows in my life
No one really cares if no one ever shares my bed
People push by with fear in their eyes in my life
Love is dead
Love is dead
The telephone rings but no one ever thinks to speak to me
Traffic speeds by but no one's ever stopped it yet
Intelligent friends don't care in the end, believe me
Love is dead
Love is dead
And plastic people with imaginary smiles
Exchanging secrets at the back of their minds
Plastic people, plastic people
Nothing ever goes right, nothing really flows in my life
No one really cares if there's horrors inside my head
People push by with fear in their eyes in my life
Love is dead
Love is dead
Love is dead
Love is dead
And all the lies that you've given us
And all the things that you said
And all the lies that you've given us
Blow like wind in my head |
