Rachael妳怎麼了


如同音樂是這世界最美好的事所說的"Rachael Yamagata是遭遇了什麼樣的破碎感情,才寫出了如此寂寞的詩啊"。每次聽這首歌,眼淚都在打轉。雖然無從得知Rachael是在什麼情況下寫出"Elephants",但我已經接收到我要的Elephants,這也足夠了。

btw真不知道演唱會當天,該怎麼承受這首歌。

ELEPHANTS

If the elephants have past lives
yet all destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I they must have some temper

And I am dreaming of them on the planes
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card
when I am doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember
when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind

And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed

So for those of you falling in love keep it kind
Keep it good
Keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night
