Not My Father's Son

Not My Father's Son歌詞

When i was just a kid
當我還是孩子的時候
Everything i did, was to be like him
我所做的一切，都是為了成為像他一樣的人
Under my skin
在我骨子深處
My father always thought
我父親總是懷著一個想法
If i was strong and fought
如果我身強力壯又驍勇善戰
Not like some albatross, id begin
而不只是一個負擔，那我就會開始
To fit in
慢慢融入和適應
Look at me powerless and holding my breath
看著我，柔弱無力，只得屏住呼吸
Trying hard to repress what scared him to death
盡力壓抑住內心那個會把他嚇得半死的自己
It was never easy to be his type of man
成為他那樣的人，著實不容易
To breathe freely was not in his plan
自由地釋放天性，也從來都不合他意
And the best part of me
我自己最好地這一面
Is what he wouldn't see
他卻總選擇視而不見
I'm not my fathers son
我不是我父親期望中的模樣
I' m not the image of what he dreamed of
我也沒有如他想像中那般成長
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
沒有斯巴達般的勇武，也缺乏約伯那樣的耐性
Still couldn't be the one
我還是無法成為他那種人
To echo what he'd done
去重複他那樣的人生
And mirror what was not in me
去讓我的生活鎖住我的心聲
So i jumped in my dreams and found an escape
於是我縱身一躍，追逐夢想，逃離這一切
Maybe i went to extremes of leather and lace
穿上皮革與蕾絲，走向了另一個極端
But the world seems brighter 6 inches off the ground
但在地面六英寸的高度上，我的世界更明亮
And the air seemed lighter
空氣更清爽
I was profound and i felt so proud
這對我意義重大，我也很自豪
Just to live out loud
能真正放膽活出自我
I'm not my fathers son
我不是我父親期望中的模樣
I'm not image of what he dreamed of
我也沒有如他想像中那般成長
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
沒有斯巴達般的勇武，也缺乏約伯那樣的耐性
Still couldn't be the one
我還是無法成為他那種人
To echo what he'd done
去重複他那樣的人生
And mirror what was not in me
去讓我的生活鎖住我的心聲
The endless story of expectations wiring inside my mind
這無盡的期望久久縈繞在我的腦海裡
Wore me down
讓我身心俱疲
I came to a realization and i found a way to turn it around
我幡然領悟，並尋找出路
To see
終究發現
That i could just be me
我可以只是做我自己
I'm not my fathers son
我不是我父親期望中的模樣
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
我也沒有如他想像中那般成長
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
沒有斯巴達般的勇武，也缺乏約伯那樣的耐性
Still couldn't be the one
我還是無法成為他那種人
To echo what he'd done
去重複他那樣的人生
And mirror what was not in me
去讓我的生活鎖住我的心聲
We're the same
我們都一樣
