各曲目的歌词大意（上）

以下内容都是我对歌词的自译（意译和简译）和个人理解，曲目顺序按照我的偏好来排序。

1. Sensitive Child 脆弱小孩

【蹦迪】

I can hear it in your voice/ I can feel it when we kiss/ I can hear it in your voice from my upstairs room/ I can see it on your lips, year, that purply blue/ I can feel it in the air+/

我能听到你、我能看到你、我能感受到你

I’m just a sensitive child/ I know your voice, I know your smile/ where are you? where did you go/ you’re not the person that I know/

我知道你的一切，但你去向了何方？你变成了我不认识的人

I recognize it in the music that you play/ it’s a little louder than it sounded yesterday/ you can’t hear me, I can’t get through

我能听到你比昨天更大声的音乐，可你听不到我，我走不到你那里理解：我觉得歌词里的“我”是“过去的我”，“你”是“未来/当下的我”，Oliver Sim代入过去儿童时期敏感又天马行空的自己，想象当时的自己如何感受、理解和支持现在的自己。

2. saccharine 甜到发腻

【抒情】

heavy is the hand on top of mine/ the sentiment is nice, but it’s heavy on my mind/ too soft of a touch, I feel it like pain/ it’s a tenderness that I just can’t take/

我身心俱疲，你的触摸如此轻柔，我却感觉痛苦到难以承受

I’ve never had a taste for saccharine/ it’s a miracle that you got in/ I thought I could survive without that basic need that had seemed so sickly sweet/

我从未品尝过甜蜜，在你走进我心房前，我以为自己可以不需要它

I know I’m destructive, none of my friends are like this/ haven’t left the house in days/ caught in indecision, I feel shit but I feel special/ it’s such a comfortable place/

我脾气暴躁、我优柔寡断、我格格不入、我闭塞心房、我不愿尝试

I thought I could survive without letting anyone near/ the problem wasn’t mine, everybody else was insincere/ the moment I got that taste, I felt naked and afraid/ I’m right back to sugar free with my heart under lock and key/

当我走入人群、初尝甜蜜，我感到羞耻和恐惧，所有人都不诚实，我又锁上心房、远离了这种甜蜜理解：与身边人格格不入的Sim感到孤独疲倦，他渴望社交和陪伴。

3. Fruit 阴柔气质

【柔美，《星条红与皇室蓝》的插曲】

far too femme/ surrounded by rocks, you’re gonna look the gem/ you can dress it away, talk it away, dull down the flame/

你是万众瞩目的变装皇后

but it’s all pretend, it’s all pretend/ what would my father do? do I take a bite of the fruit? / I’ve heard other people say, it can’t be right if it causes you shame/

但其实瞩目是假，被排斥才是真

have I made you proud? take a look at me now/ if I’ve got my father’s eyes, I’ve got my mother’ smile/

请接纳真实的我

wrong or right, you’re standing right in front of a green light/ just look at his face, what a beautiful face/ how it makes you feel inside/ take a bite, babe, it’s an ordinary thing/

【主歌词】走出来，男人也可以阴柔理解：我就是我。

4. Romance With a Memory 过往浪漫

【节奏】

the lack of a kiss did more than a thousand/ it’s less about you than a romance with a memory/ maybe it’s best that we never meet again/ so I’m let down by reality/

【主歌词】 少一次吻相当于少一千次，但这不是关于你、而更多是我对浪漫的回忆，也许我们应该永不再见，所以我现在被现实击垮了

handsome, I’d only wanted to feel handsome/ but there’s excitement in that feeling of not getting what I needed/

我想自我感觉良好，但那种得不到的失落也有快乐

I don’t know that if my needs were met/ you would have had the same effect/ like some kind of punishment/

就像一种惩罚，我不知道如果我当时得偿所愿，你得到的是不是一样的

you’re just an idea to keep me company late in the night/ you were never really here/ not like the picture I have in my mind/

你并不存在，你只是一种陪伴我熬过长夜的思绪，你甚至不比我脑海中记忆的一张图片更真实

since the day we met/ the only thing I regret is my taste for disinterest

自从我们那时相遇，我唯一后悔的是我对感情变得更加冷漠

理解：我感觉这是一首调侃向的失恋情歌。

5. Never Here 我不在这

【歌词写得最晦涩难懂】

I have proof that I was here, but a feeling like I wasn’t, just as soon as it appeared, it’s gone all of a sudden/

我身在心不在，我来了我又立刻走了

I don’t own the memory, though the quality is vivid/ though I was there in reality, I wasn’t quite in spirit/ I find I’m reminded of a time and place I’ve never been/

去过的地方我没有记忆，没去过的地方却总在我脑海中浮现

Lord knows how I find it, a distant memory must’ve meant something to me, or just a picture from a dream/

转瞬即逝的记忆、或者仅仅是梦里的一个画面，都一定有它的意义

picture fades, technology breaks/ I know the moment don’t exist within its color and shape/ I take it in just to throw it away/

（怎么这么突然地冒出个technology？？）在虚空中，我创造记忆，然后丢掉它们

I tampered with memory, I lost its original color/ moments are temporary, can’t take them home from the summer, but when the sky could be more blue, there’s no reason why I wouldn’t/ though I’m getting further from the truth, this version reads better/ I was never really here

为什么我不能杜撰记忆呢，既然它们都是短暂的？即使我离真相越来越严，但这让我感觉好点，即使我从不在这里（那里）感受：当情感战胜理智，人就会有意识地改写记忆。

Oliver Sim的脸，他真的好帅啊...

Oliver Sim的手，他就连手也这么好看啊...

摊牌了，我承认我是因为他太帅了才听的这张专辑的。本来我觉得在The XX里他的音色就不太行，然后始于颜值，我就逐渐地终于才华了：嗯，其实Oliver Sim的声音也很有特色啦，谱词作曲也很有想法嘛！
