[00:00.000] 作曲 : Daniel Lorca/Ira Elliot/Matthew Caws
[00:32.883] My headphones are playing duet
[00:36.403] With a fire engine
[00:40.423] I walk through the cloud of an ex
[00:43.426] And I feel no tension
[00:47.237] All the buildings are blocking the wind
[00:51.123] Of late October
[00:54.479] 'Round the corner, it shoots out again
[00:58.216] And I'm starting over
[01:00.545] Dance, dance
[01:04.146] Dance, dance around the door
[01:09.191] Dance, dance
[01:12.857] Dance, dance around the door
[01:18.590] Hold still
[01:21.006] Limit what you see
[01:23.836] Be free for a while
[01:25.970] Lie in room like you're lying on a hill
[01:29.445] There's a mountain on your window sill
[01:33.286] There is help for raw souls
[01:37.929] A language for the shy
[01:41.028] You don't have to say hello
[01:45.391] But look them in the eye
[01:48.602] Two things, a great fog of stuff, engrossing, fleeting, bewildering
[01:52.731] And then, a feeling of tilt that we're rushing down a slope
[01:55.741] Do we not see it all the time because we're sliding at the same speed?
[01:58.795] A sense of safety preserved by the static distance between us
[02:02.366] Sometimes I try to imagine a village hundred of years ago
[02:05.111] Where little changes during a lifetime
[02:06.923] Maybe the cobbler tries a new heel on a boot, crops are rotated
[02:10.305] But nothing changes how people are
[02:12.061] What they spend their time doing or thinking about
[02:13.566] The world is dying, the world is living
[02:30.841] There's something that I should do
[02:33.318] But I never know how
[02:38.234] Things I should say to you
[02:41.041] But it's total whiteout
[02:44.364] In the night reading actual air
[02:48.076] Always reforming
[02:52.338] Imagine that I'll be somewhere new
[02:56.192] In the morning
[02:58.817] I was asked to write a song about social media
[03:00.947] And I didn't want to anyway I'm pretty hooked
[03:02.794] So don't feel I'm in much of a position to critique it
[03:04.734] And self-critique is loaded for me anyway
[03:07.139] Because I've done plenty of that
[03:08.304] And while I know that people can identify with it
[03:10.308] And get comfort from hearing someone else
[03:12.365] Address themselves sternly
[03:13.657] I'm also trying to get away from self-regard in general
[03:15.868] Even though the unexamined life is not worth living
[03:18.455] More opposing truths, they're everywhere
[03:20.527] Still training to to hold them
[03:21.884] I'm trying to look out
[03:22.962] Leave the mirror out of it
[03:24.021] See the tree and contemplate it
[03:25.560] And not question who or what I am in a relation to the tree
[03:27.906] But I don't know what it means yet
[03:29.570] That we are partially migrating into a silent conversation
[03:32.069] That seems to be increasing unity and tribalism at once
[03:34.966] And maybe the two are racing now without a finish line
[03:37.821] I was going to say that likely few got good thinking
[03:40.673] Done during the seventeenth century Dutch tulip craze
[03:43.080] And this is not so different
[03:44.276] But I've recently been heartened and disappointed to learn
[03:46.517] That story was greatly exaggerated
[03:48.352] Anyway we're crazy but also we're not crazy we're complicated
[03:51.669] We want things to be simple
[03:53.140] And we polarize into camps and we harden and entrench
[03:55.828] And distort and amplify and shut down and entrench some more
[03:59.155] Now you don't have to join a drum circle
[04:00.873] And get all peace and love and Haight-Ashbury
[04:02.872] And anyway that took
[04:03.476] Only a few months to turn into a bad scene, hard drug, dystopia
[04:06.872] Where some people will rob you
[04:08.663] And you can't be too open but the
[04:10.220] Hippies sure had a point
[04:11.386] Empathy is good, lack of empathy is bad
[04:13.441] And now the lines of non-facts waiting to get in the conversation
[04:16.868] Are longer and longer
[04:18.155] And some people can't be beat in an argument
[04:20.243] We have to hold to that hippie point harder
[04:22.139] Empathy is good, lack of empathy is bad
[04:24.716] Holy math says we're never not together
