The Slow Decay

Where do we go now?
我們該何去何從？
I'm still trying to find the words
我仍在努力尋找那抹詞藻
A quarter lifetime on
四季開始更迭
As if a pen and paper could restore
就像紙筆寫下後難以復原
The greatest loss I've known
我一生最大的遺憾莫過如此
Every outline of you lingers in the door
你的身影似乎仍徘徊在門後
Every cigarette a silhouette in ash
就像每根香煙燃盡，灰燼都會留下剪影
Drawn upon the floor
散落在地板上
Remember how they told me
我還記得他們曾對我說
'You're too young to understand
“你還太小，你不懂。
You will shift just like the weather
你之後會像四季更迭一般游離不定
As you grow into a man'
直至你長大成人。”
This I know
我所熟知的不過如此
My life has flashed before my eyes
眼前閃回過我的一生
And the days all seemed to pass me by
所有的時光似乎都離我而去
All the pain I earned and the love I lost
我承受過的所有苦痛與那遺失的愛
Was the only truth
才是世上唯一的真實
This all will someday soon return to dust
這一切終會有一天，變回塵土
Return to dust
回歸虛無
And if we all go to hell
假如我們都墜入地獄
I'll find some peace where I dwell
我才能在平和中有片刻歇息
I never thought there was more to this than met the eye
除去四目相視外，我從未想過會有更多接觸
When I have no more to give
當我已一無所有
Surrender my right to live
我便會放棄我生存的權利
We're only killing time 'til time kills us and we
我們一直都在扼殺時間本身，直至時間盡頭，萬物消逝。然後
Decay together
我們，一齊凋零
We're not built to live forever
我們生來又何須存萬古
Content to shed my blissful ignorance
固執於擺脫那幸福的無知中
No fire, no light, an insignificant mistake
無火、無光，徒留一個無關痛癢的錯誤
And if we all go to hell
假如我們都墜入地獄
I'll find some peace where I dwell
我才能在平和中有片刻歇息
I never thought there was more to this than met the eye
除去四目相視外，我從未想過會有更多接觸
When I have no more to give
當我已一無所有
Surrender my right to live
我便會放棄我生存的權利
We're only killing time 'til time kills us
我們一直都在扼殺時間本身，直至時間盡頭，萬物消逝
My life has flashed before my eyes
我的眼前閃回過這一生
And the days all seemed to pass me by
所有的時光似乎都要離我而去
All the pain I earned and the love I lost
我承受過的所有苦痛與那遺失的愛
Was the only truth
才是世上唯一的真實
This all will someday soon return to dust
這一切終會有一天，消散至塵埃
