“matthew” 是 elijah woods 在2022年8月30日發表的單曲。
這首歌是寫給他已逝去的哥哥 Matthew。大概在14年前的今天,那時的 Elijah 才13歲,而 Matthew 因為一場車禍意外離世。為了宣洩情感 elijah woods 寫了很多關於哥哥的事情,最後將其變成這一首歌。
[Verse 1] Skater shoes and faded Levis 溜冰鞋和褪色的牛仔褲 A mixtape of your favorite b-sides 播放著你最喜歡的混音帶 b 面 That polaroid of us still lives beside my bed 我們的那張拍立得照片,仍放在我的床邊 I know I can't avoid it but I try my best (Mhm) 我知道我無法避免,但我盡力了 I wanted to be you back in '05 過去的我總想長大成為你 But it gets hard when you're so little and you're lost 但是一切都會變得很難,當你還這麼渺小,你很容易迷路 And you're left picking up the pieces 你只能將殘缺的自己,一片一片撿起 Of a world that kind of stopped 在一個停止的世界 [Chorus] So why the hell did you leave so fast? 你為什麼這麼快就離開這世界? 'Cause shooting stars are never meant to crash 因為流星是永遠不會墜毀的 Were you in pain and I just couldn't see? 你是不是很痛苦,而我只是看不見? Thought it'd all make sense when I was 23 我以為當我到 23 歲的時候,這一切都會變得清晰,變得可以理解 That you'd be therе when I need you most 當我最需要你的時候,你會在那裡 Despite a million milеs, would we still be close? 儘管有一百萬英里那麼遠,我們還會這麼靠近嗎? Would you fall in love, make her your wife? 你會墜入愛河,讓她成為你的妻子嗎? Would you have a kid? 你會有自己的孩子嗎? Would they have your eyes? 他們會有你的眼睛嗎? I guess we'll never know 我想我們永遠都不會知道 I guess we'll never know 我想我們永遠都不會知道 [Verse 2] The time it passed and I fucking let it 時間一點一點過去,我該死的讓它逐漸消逝 'Cause it still hurts when I don't forget it 因為我始終不會忘記,這仍然很痛 The numbers on my chest I put my blood in ink 我胸前的數字,我把我的血摻進墨水里 When I talk about the best I wish it didn't sting (Mhm) 當我談論最想要的願望,我希望不會在有刺痛的感覺 The hardest part is just accepting 最難的就是欣然接受 That this shits hard 這該死的太難了 'Cause I'm good and then I'm not 因為我本來好好的,然後我開始變得很糟 Looking for reasons in the pieces of the you that I've still got 在我僅有的,你殘留碎片中,去尋找一個合理的理由 [Chorus] So why the hell did you leave so fast? 你為什麼這麼快就離開這世界? 'Cause shooting stars are never meant to crash 因為流星是永遠不會墜毀的 Were you in pain and I just couldn't see? 你是不是很痛苦,而我只是看不見? Thought it'd all make sense when I was 23 我以為當我到 23 歲的時候,這一切都會變得清晰,變得可以理解 That you'd be therе when I need you most 當我最需要你的時候,你會在那裡 Despite a million milеs, would we still be close? 儘管有一百萬英里那麼遠,我們還會這麼靠近嗎?
