ATC跟The Reaady Set合作翻唱的歌曲

The Ready Set

這首滿難翻的

當時Bleachers(原唱)經歷了911、妹妹於2002年去世,表弟也於2003年的戰爭中殉職

在人生這麼多風暴的低潮中重新站起而寫了這首歌 歌詞中的她就是指去世的姐姐

意境超深厚滿感動

Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room

嘿 我從房間後面聽見一位牧師的聲音

Calling my name and I follow just to find you

呼喊著我的名字 而我跟隨只為找到妳

I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather

憑著直覺來到一台壞掉的電視機 它正報著氣象

And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause

試著讓自己放下過去

I frozen time between hearses and caskets

因為我已將時間凍結在靈車及棺材中

Lost control when I panicked at the acid test

在重重嚴峻考驗中我驚慌失措 快要失控

I wanna get better 我想要變得更好

While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines

當我的朋友們都正在享受生活 談著戀愛時

I was losing my mind 'cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love

我已失魂落魄 因為我把我的愛 原本足夠給所有人的愛

That I gave wasted on a nice face 全都給了我的妹妹

In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet

在恐懼的火焰裏 我披上層層防禦

Counting seconds through the night and got carried away

在夜晚數著羊試圖入睡 但我從未成功

So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars,

現在我正站在公路上 對著車子們大喊

Hey, I wanna get better! 嘿,我想要變得更好!

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face

在看見你之前 我並未發覺原來我是這麼寂寞

I wanna get better, better, better, better,

我想要變得更好 更好 更好 更好

I wanna get better 我想要變得更好

I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change

當我想要改變時 才發現原來我這麼破碎

I wanna get better, better, better, better,

我想要變得更好 更好 更好 更好

I wanna get better 我想要變得更好

I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling

上樓到我的房間 天花板上滿是女明星的海報

Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling

剪下他們的照片 渴想回到當時的天真無憂

Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was

當時十八歲的我 還不明白失去的感受

Now I'm a stranger

而現在 我只是個回不去童年的陌生人

And I miss the days of a life still permanent

我錯過了對於人生仍然漫長的日子

Mourn the years before I got carried away

悼念著年日 直到我失去理智

So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself,

現在的我正站在洲際 對著自己大喊

Hey, I wanna get better! 嘿,我想變得更好!

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face

直到看見你 我才發現原來我是如此寂寞

I wanna get better, better, better, better,

我想變得更好 更好 更好 更好

I wanna get better 我想要變得更好

I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change

直到我開始想要改變 才發現原來我如此破碎

I wanna get better, better, better, better,

我想要變得更好 更好 更好 更好

I wanna get better 我想變得更好

Better, 'cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi

我想變得更好 因為現在的我正睡在計程車後座

I'm screaming from my bedroom window

從房間窗戶向外大聲尖叫

Even if its gonna kill me

即使這一切快讓我承受不住

Woke up this morning early before my family

今早 我比全家都還要更早起床

From this dream where she was trying to show me

透過這個夢 她想指示我

How a life can move from the darkness

生命 是可以從低谷中翻轉的

She said to get better 她說 我能變得更好

So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet

所以我開始在軟弱的地方堅強起來

And I crash my car 'cause I wanna get carried away

毀了我的車 因為我想要忘記一切

That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself

這就是為什麼我站在公路上對著自己大喊

Hey, I wanna get better! 嘿,我想要變得更好!

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face

在看見你之前 我不知道原來我這麼寂寞

I wanna get better, better, better, better,

我想要變得更好 更好 更好 更好

I wanna get better 我想要變得更好

I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face

在看見你之前 我不知道原來我這麼寂寞

I wanna get better, better, better, better,

我想要變得更好 更好 更好 更好

I wanna get better 我想要變得更好
