LOST CAUSE来自BECK的《Sea Change》,这张专辑是BECK结束了七年恋情后写的12首绝望的情诗,我在迷恋这张专辑时所有的ID都叫sea change。其中lost cause是我最喜欢的一首,我不知道怎样用不矫情的语言形容我听到他唱baby you are lost时的心碎,我只希望那个离开他的姑娘,在听到这首歌后会痛不欲生。歌词很简单,中文却实在很难翻出那种温柔无奈的深情。对了,BECK是20世纪最优秀的实验噪音天才,但他拿着把吉他孤独的弹唱时动人的像个难过的诗人。
Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new
Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause
There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming, they see you go
They know your secrets, and you know theirs
This town is crazy, but nobody cares
Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause
There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
There's no one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
Is that what you thought love was for
Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause 。
