一首被压迫的沉默者都应该听的歌
这首歌的MV也很有意思,一群老女老少,身材长相不一的人在购物中心等公众场所,随着旋律劲舞。社会的改善不是靠所谓的精英阶层“领导”进步,而是靠沉默的大多数发出自己的声音,秀出自己的舞步,在公共的议题上表达自己真实的想法。这也是伪装成“社会精英”的领导阶层最不愿意看到的。
brave 勇敢
歌词:
You can be amazing你有不曾想象的力量
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug您能将言语变成武器或者是良药
You can be the outcast你可以被放逐天际
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love你可以被无道者沉重打击
Or you can start speaking up也可以从此开始大声说话
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do没有什么比话语更能伤害你
When they settle ‘neath your skin特别是当这些语言已深深植入肉体
Kept on the inside and no sunlight完全藏于内心,不见天日
Sometimes a shadow wins有时候也许暗无天日
But I wonder what would happen if you但我想知道你说出内心的话之后会是怎样
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out说出你想说的,把内心的话全盘托出
Honestly I wanna see you be brave说真的,我想看看你无所畏惧的样子
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just want to see you我就是想看看你那勇敢的样子
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you想看你无所畏惧的样子
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
Everybody’s been there,每个人都有这样的时候
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy每个人都曾被自己的敌人看不起
Fallen for the fear因为害怕而倒下
And done some disappearing,希望将自己藏匿起来
Bow down to the mighty对可能发生的事卑躬屈膝
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue别逃跑,只要从此不再默不作声
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live也许就有一条带你离开牢笼的通路
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in也许也会有阳光普照的一天
Show me how big your brave is让我看看你的胆量究竟有多大
Say what you wanna say说出你想说的,把内心的话全盘托出
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave说真的,我想看看你无所畏惧的样子
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
And since your history of silence自从你开始沉默不语
Won’t do you any good,你没有从沉默中得到任何好处
Did you think it would?你难道认为只要沉默一切就好好吗?
Let your words be anything but empty让你只会空洞无物的表达
Why don’t you tell them the truth?为什么不告诉他们真实的想法
Say what you wanna say说出你想说的,让内心的话顺流直下
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave说真的,我想看看你无所畏惧的样子
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
