遗书与原谅
Chester自杀以后,每首歌的歌词都像是遗书。
一首首听下来,最使我动容的是Leave Out All The Rest.
When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed And don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest Forgetting All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well Pretending Someone else can come and save me from myself I can't be who you are
再对他有情感,再怀念他,还是要说,自杀是一种极其不负责任的做法。由于自杀,他让自己的家庭破碎,让朋友崩溃,更是伤害了无数真正喜欢他喜欢Linkin Park的乐迷,十七年的陪伴,一朝破碎。自杀不是解决问题的方法,是一种自私的逃离。
责怪不代表不原谅。
人都已经没了,不原谅又能怎样呢。这段Leave Out All The Rest的歌词,越听越像遗书,写给他走后,不知所措的我们:他希望被想念,希望被原谅,希望我们不要记恨他,希望我们假装他已在某处得救。他甚至还解释到“我无法成为你(们)”,无法做你(们)做的事,无法站在你(们)的立场思考,现在看来,他甚至不能像“你(们)”一样,有能量和勇气继续活下去。
I'm singing 'Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself' during it because it's supposed to feel like an apology letter, as though I'm moving on but I want people to remember the good things and not the bad things. A lot of the song is about humility.
这是他在制作这首歌的时候说到的。他道歉,他希望大家铭记的更多是美好。
我记着你的好,我会继续听你的歌,责怪你,也原谅你。偶尔假装你已得救。我知道你已经解脱。
