My Orphan Year My father had dementia He lied in bed for months Once in a while he'd call me And ask me to fly down I told him that I'd love to But I had things to do And so he died without his son I heard about it drunk after a show My mother battled cancer For over seven years I nursed her and I held her When time was running out The night before she left me I drank scotch all night And thanked her for everything she'd done Raising me alone wasn't much fun Dad I can forgive you, but I'll never forget, Months I wouldn't see you and when I did You'd be out with your friends all night Alone and only nine I watched the outer limits And scared out of my mind I wonder if you felt the same The days before you died I wonder if you even knew Why I wouldn't come around I bet if you had been there, There wouldn't be this song 2006 goodbye parents For once I am sincere 2006 my orphan year 有点感同身受,虽然和我一点关系都没有。   但是这歌词和旋律的反差,思维的反差,实在是有点残酷的完美。   所以我把歌词翻译了一下,给大家行个方便~      -------------------------      “我爸爸得了老年痴呆,他在床上躺了好几个月了”   “有天他突然给我打了电话,让我快飞回去看他”   “我说我很想去,但我现在有活儿要干”   “这样,他就死了,没有儿子陪伴。我在一次演出之后大醉的时候听见了这个消息”   “我妈妈和癌症搏斗了整整七年,我照顾她我很爱她”   “当一切快要结束的时候,在她离去的那晚之前”   “我喝了一晚的威士忌,感谢上天她为我做的一切”   “一个人把我拉扯大一点都不好玩,太辛苦”   “所以爸爸我原谅你,但是我不会忽视,那些好几个月都见不到你的时候”   “当我觉得你应该要回来的时候,你却和你的朋友在外面瞎混”   “我一个九岁的小孩在家里瑟瑟发抖,看着远处的路灯惊慌不已”   “我不知道在你将要死去的那几天里,你是不是也和我当时的感觉一样”   “我也不知道你是否真的知道我为什么不回来看你,我想如果当时你和我一起陪着妈的话,也不会有这首歌了”   “2006年,我成为孤儿的这年”   “唯一的一次,我真心实意的,再见了双亲”   “2006,我的孤儿之年”   ---------------------------------   唉。   Matt看起来是个没心没肺的胖子,但是当谁碰到天涯两隔的时候也会真情流露。 在1:56秒的时候,旋律微微变了一下, 这里就像是一块面具突然的破碎,扭曲的,恨意,悔意,悲哀与追忆,瞬间涌出。   然后一段无言的极简Riff,就像是在擦干泪水咽下弱点和失落, 站回你的面前,我还是无坚不摧的朋克。 只是我再也没有血系了。
