我还是翻译一下上面的英文吧：
For the second line, I had read about whipping cords in a nautical book that my last boyfriend had. I read that when ropes get frayed at sea, you can repair the frayed ends of the ropes with whipping cords that are very strong. This goes right back to the parenting thing-- if I had a kid, and I had a choice between teaching somebody how to avoid trouble, or teaching them how to get out of it, I'd teach them how to get out of it.
歌词后半部分来源于我前男友的一本航海书，里面提到鞭绳我读到，如果在海上出现绳子磨损的情况，可以利用结实的鞭绳修复磨损的绳端。这件事马上上升到了养儿育女的层次——以后我要有了孩子，我需要考虑，我究竟是去教孩子如何避免麻烦，还是如何解决麻烦。我应该会选择后者。

I came up with it in a total rush. After having stayed up all night on deadline, it just came to me right after the sun rose. I didn't realize people would be like, "Oh shit, another poem." It just came out to be what it was-- sorry.
这题目是急匆匆想出来的。截止日那天熬了个通宵，太阳出来后，这名字突然冒了出来。我当时真没想到人们的反应是：“靠，又造了一首诗！”实际这个题目的由来是随意的。
If you think about it, the driver of the screw has one job and he is always trying to change things. But the idler wheel is there and has this great effect on what the gears do; the idler wheel knows the machine much better than just this one thing that's performing this one task.
想想看，改锥有一项工作，就是到处改变事物。而惰轮始终呆在一个地方，却对齿轮的运转起到巨大作用。比起它所履行的唯一职责，更加了比起的是：它懂得机器。（我估摸着言下之意，比起那些尝试改变别人（或生活）的人来说，那些以不变应万变的人，或通过自己行为就能影响到他人的（从而改变生活）人更智慧。）乱了。
Pitchfork: Can you talk about the meaning of the new album's title: The Idler Wheel is wiser than the Driver of the Screw, and Whipping Cords will serve you more than Ropes will ever do? It's no When the Pawn... but it's still a mouthful.

那条翻译基本都是字面意思吧，看了还是一头雾水
