Eminem: br>
Feels like a close, it’s coming to br>
感觉即将走到终点 br>
F*k am I gonna do? br>
我该要做些什么? br>
It's too late to start over br>
重头再来已是太迟 br>
This is the only thing I, thing I know br>
这是我唯一熟知的事情 br>
Verse1 : br>
Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is br>
有时候我觉得我曾做的一切 br>
Find different ways to word the same, old song br>
是在找寻不同的方式写同样的老歌 br>
Ever since I came along br>
自从我独自到来 br>
From the day the song called ‘’Hi! My Name Is’’ dropped【1999年】 br>
自从《My Name Is》这首歌横空出世 br>
Started thinking my name was fault【指"Slim Shady",他曾正面回答过更喜欢"Eminem"这个名字】 br>
我就开始认为我的名字是个错误 br>
Cause anytime things went wrong br>
因为每当有事情出错 br>
I was the one who they would blame it on【早期Eminem歌由于过于个性颇具争议】 br>
我就是那个他们会指责的人 br>
The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Kahn【成吉思汗戎马一生,最远打到欧洲】 br>
媒体将我刻画成当代的成吉思汗 br>
Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg br>
我试图争辩,一切只不过是娱乐而已 br>
Gangster? Nah, courageous balls br>
匪帮习气?不,我只是无所畏惧地胡说罢了 br>
Had to change my style, they said I‘m way too soft br>
我不得不改变我的风格,他们说我的唱得太软了 br>
And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws【Eminem第一张专辑《Infinite》被人诟病模仿Nas和AZ,从此他塑造了Slim Shady这个角色,风格向暴力转变】 br>
于是我像AZ和Nas一样说唱,伸出了爪子 br>
And the fangs been out since then【Eminem后来的风格继续变化,部分暴力弱化】 br>
从那时起也亮出了毒牙 br>
But up until the instant that I went against it【后来Eminem创作了很多他认为思想深度不够的作品】 br>
但从某一时刻开始,我开始背道而驰 br>
It was ingrained in me that I wouldn’t amount to a shit stain,I thought【这也使Eminem陷入了沉思,期间暂别乐坛,在后来的自传《这就是我》解释了原因】 br>
我想,根深蒂固的想法使我必将一事无成 br>
No wonder I had to unlearn everything that my brain was taught br>
难怪我记不得我脑海中被灌输的一切 br>
Do I really belong in this game? I pondered【指自己引领起来的风气和现象】 br>
我陷入了沉思,我真的属于这场游戏吗? br>
I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not?【Slim Shady时期制造了太多异议】 br>
我只想做好自己的事情,我应该兴风作浪,制造争议吗? br>
So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on br>
这场拉锯战在我脑海中不断地进行着 br>
And I don’t wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect the art form I was raised upon【分别指Dr.Dre和嘻哈文化】 br>
我不想忘恩负义,也不愿对造就我的艺术不敬 br>
But sometimes you gotta take a loss【2010年发行的《Recovery》专辑名即指Eminem从反思中获得重生】 br>
但是有的时候你不得不承认失败 br>
And have people rub it in your face before you can get made pissed off br>
人们会指责你的错误并激怒你 br>
And keep pluggin’, it’s your only outlet br>
继续不断努力,这是你唯一的出路 br>
And your only outfit, so you know they gonna talk about it【Only Outfit指Eminem在部分人眼中根深蒂固的形象,也指他无法改变的白人皮肤却在黑人说唱领域生存】 br>
是你唯一的形象,所以你知道他们会谈论它 br>
Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah br>
最好快速找到方法然后反击,赢得一切吧 br>
Feel like I’ve already said this a kabillion eighty times br>
我感觉我已经说过它无数遍 br>
How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme? br>
我能把同样的事用不同的押韵说多少遍呢? br>
What I really wanna say is, if there's anyone else who can relate to my story? br>
但是我真正想说的是,若是其他人对我的故事感同身受? br>
Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place you are, when I was afraid to br>
最好你能和我有同样的和感受,当我和你处于相同境地时,当我害怕… br>

An angry mans power will shut you up br>
这个愤怒的男人的力量会让你闭嘴 br>
Trip wires fill this house with tip toed love【Trip Wires指遍布在房子周围保护房子而设立起的地线,指Em受到 困扰,不敢发出一点声音(写词),他对音乐的爱变得很小心】 br>
地雷引线的存在让热爱只能分外小心 br>
Run out of excuses with every word br>
再也无法以任何一个词来作为借口 br>
So here I am and I will not run br>
所以我就在这里,绝不会逃避 br>
Guts over fear, the time is near br>
勇气战胜恐惧,就在此时此刻 br>
Guts over fear, I shed a tear br>
勇气战胜恐惧,尽管我也会哭泣 br>
For all the times I let you push me around I let you keep me down br>
每一次我任你摆布,我因你而低落 br>
Guts over fear, guts over fear br>

重新开始已经太晚了 br>
This is the only thing I, thing I know br>
这是我唯一,我唯一知道的事 br>
Verse2: br>
It’s like I was there once, single parents【Single Parents即指Eminem和他同父异母的弟弟由妈妈一个人抚养大,也指Em自己和Kim的两次结婚两次离婚,尽管两人达成协议共同抚养三个孩子,但某种程度上他也属于单亲父亲】 br>
单亲家庭我也感同身受 br>
Hate your appearance,as you struggle to find your place in this world br>
你在世界上努力寻找归宿时,你也厌恶自己现在得过且过的模样 br>
And the pain spawns all the anger on br>
这些痛苦的根源导致了愤怒 br>
But it wasn’t until I put the pain in songs learned who to aim it on【Eminem早期愤世嫉俗,歌词中透露着不屑与高傲。但他达到了一定的高度后,他才知道这些歌带来的不能仅仅只是愤怒与怨恨】 br>
但直到我将这些都放在了歌中,才知道我该为谁而唱 br>
That I made a spark,started to spit harder shit【《Not Afraid》某种程度上属于这类作品】 br>
这也使我我找到了动力,开始去创作富有挑战的作品 br>
Learned how to harness it while the reins were off br>
学会了如何在脱缰之时控制自己的言辞 br>
And there was a lot of bizarre shit,but the crazy part br>
而且还发生了很多疯狂的事,但更疯狂的是 br>
was soon as I stopped saying "I gave a f**k"【早期Eminem歌词中充斥着各类粗话】 br>
当我不再说“我**不在乎这一切”时 br>
Haters started to appreciate my art【也有一定原因是Em走上了更高的台阶,收获了更多的关注量,被媒体捧得比原来高了】 br>
那些厌恶我这么唱的人开始欣赏我的原来的作品 br>
And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I caused【指Eminem认为自己已经到了更深的层面,而听他歌的人还在听他以前那些愤世嫉俗的歌曲】 br>
评价着我以前创作时的愤恨,让我伤心不已 br>
But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone?【Eminem也表达出了迷茫】 br>
但当所有的愤怒平息之后我该怎么去做? br>
The lights go out in the trailer park【电影《8英里》中的镜头】 br>
当拖车公园的灯火全部熄灭我又该去哪? br>
And the window is closin' and there's nowhere else I can go with flows and I'm frozen【和前面Eminem说到的对应,指Em也不知道该如何去迎合听众和媒体的口味】 br>
窗户正在慢慢关闭,我也没有灵感去饶舌写词,似乎已经江郎才尽 br>
Cause there's no more emotion for me to pull from br>
因为我无法再从生活中挖掘出更多的感情去表达 br>
Just a bunch of playful songsthat I make for fun br>
只是做了一些我觉得有趣的或是开玩笑的歌 br>
So to the break of dawn here【指在Recovery大获成功之后到本歌创作的时间】 br>
所以破晓时分 br>
I go recycling the same old song【Eminem认为自己并没有去调众口,而是跟随自己的内心以及自己的个性在作品中表达】 br>
让我再写了同样的老歌 br>
But I‘d rather make “Not Afraid 2” than make another mothaf**kin' "We Made You" uh【We Made You提到了许多人,Em想表达自己只是讽刺现象而非教唆他人言语攻击】 br>
但我宁愿做一曲“Not Afraid 2”也不会再去做**的一首"We Made You" br>
And I don't wanna seem indulgent when I discuss my lows and my highs br>
所以我不想对自己宽容,当我谈论起我人生的潮起潮落 br>

让你在跟我身处于同一种感受时,足以借此鼓舞自己 br>
Cause I can‘t explain to y’all how dang exhausted my legs felt【Eminem曾沉迷于安眠作用的处方药,在戒药过程中,Em的膝关节半月板曾撕裂】 br>
因为我无法说清楚我的双腿是多么的无力 br>
Just havin' to balance my dang self【指Em传递的负面情绪】 br>
也许这只是为了去试图平衡那个邪恶的自己 br>
When on eggshells I was made to walk【Walking On Eggshells类似中文的如履薄冰,此处指Em在微妙的处境中继续前行,并不畏艰险】 br>
那些讨厌的弱者逼得我必须行走 br>

我也至少做到了在有生之年能够给你们建设起来一栋庇护所 br>
So this is for every kid who all’s they ever did was dreamt that one day they would just get accepted br>
所以这首歌送给每一个梦想有一天能得到认可的孩子 br>
I represent him or her, anyone similar you are the reason that I made this song【不妨解释成Eminem从自身下手找到了灵感,于上文对应】 br>
我代表他或她,或者任何一个相似的你们,你们就是我写这首歌的原因 br>
