An eight-year-old girl had a panic attack
’Cause the father she loved left and never looked back
No longer the hero she counted on
He told her he loved her and then he was gone
She tried to look happy in front of her friends
But knew that she’d never feel normal again
She fought back the tears as they filled her eyes
And wanted him back just to tell him goodbye
*When the rain falls down
When it all turns around
When the light goes out, this isn’t the end*
Her dad was a good guy that everyone liked
But nobody knew he was dying inside
He promised his family he’d be alright
And then with a gunshot he left them behind
Repeat*×2
The role of a father, he never deserved
He abandoned his daughter and never returned
And over the years though the pain was real
She finally forgave him and started to heal
How close to the ending? Well, nobody knows
The future’s a mystery and anything goes
Love is confusing and life is hard
You fight to survive ’cause you made it this far
It’s all too astounding to comprehend
It’s just the beginning, this isn’t the end×2
八歲的女孩她恐慌不已
因為她深愛的父親決絕地離開了她
不再是她曾經(jīng)信賴的英雄
父親只留下一句愛她,就走了
她在朋友面前強顏歡笑
卻深知自己再也回不到從前
即使淚水盈眶,她也強忍住
總是盼望父親能回來跟他說聲再見
*當(dāng)天空下起雨
當(dāng)一切都天旋地轉(zhuǎn)
當(dāng)燈火都熄滅了,這不是結(jié)束*
她父親是個人人都喜愛的好人
但是沒人知道他的內(nèi)心垂死
他對家人承諾自己會好起來
但隨著一聲槍響,他離開了家人
重復(fù)*×2
他不配當(dāng)一個父親
他拋棄了自己的女兒,再也沒歸來
這種疼痛多年來一直伴隨著她
她最終原諒了他,傷口開始愈合
結(jié)局到底如何?嗯,沒人知曉
未來是個迷,無法預(yù)料
愛令人困惑,生活滿是艱辛
你拼命掙扎才得以前行至此
生活跌宕離奇,令人難懂
這只是開始,不是結(jié)束×2
This Isn’t the End出自美國Owl City樂隊于2014年發(fā)表的專輯《Ultraviolet》。Owl City樂隊由亞當(dāng)·揚(Adam Young)于2007年組建,他本人是這支流行電子樂隊的唯一成員,主音、合成器和編曲皆由其一手包辦。Owl City的音樂風(fēng)格為當(dāng)下最為流行的電子混音音樂。與傳統(tǒng)的電子舞曲所營造出的喧鬧、躁動的動感音樂氛圍不同,Owl City摒棄了電子舞曲的樂器混雜,只使用簡單的電子樂器,同時融合合成器流行音樂和新浪潮音樂等眾多元素,經(jīng)由Adam Young空靈飄逸的嗓音和精致的和聲,把聽者帶入充滿夢幻色彩并且活潑、躍動的音樂王國。
在This Isn’t the End一曲中, Adam Young以輕快的旋律和清亮的嗓音向我們訴說了一個令人傷感的真實故事,以此鼓勵“小女孩”不要沉湎在不愉快的往事中,鼓勵我們要學(xué)會原諒,學(xué)會釋懷,勇敢站起來繼續(xù)往前走。正如歌曲所唱的:這是一個新的開始,并不是結(jié)束!這首富含情節(jié)的歌,雖然包含些許壓抑的元素,但是憑借Adam Young溫柔而關(guān)切的聲音,傳遞出樂觀的信息!
