Nirvana - Something In The Way

上篇有提到Nirvana "Something In The Way" 這首歌，所以這篇就稍微介紹一下..
為何在眾多Nirvana的歌曲中唯獨這首使我思緒最亂..
如何的無助與沮喪....

先一邊聽一邊看歌詞..
不能理解涵義也沒關係，記住出現過的單字也行....

Nirvana - Something In The Way
Something In The Way

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

(x3)
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings

(x4)
Something in the way, mmm
Something in the way, yeah, mmm

這支影片是樂迷製作的，歌曲是錄自Nirvana在MTV Unplugged In New York 的live..
歌詞大致是在說
一個人在靠近河的橋樑下生活..
他搭了篷布反彈從橋樑的細縫洩漏下來的雨水..
設了陷阱捉到一些動物，而這些動物全都變成他的寵物為伴..
他能夠以吃草維生，而水滴也會從天花板落下.. (不過這邊的grass也可以翻成大麻..)
有時吃魚也無所謂，在這裡沒有人有任何感覺..
時間就這麼緩緩的過去....

以上純個人翻譯，不一定代表真正的原意

Kurt寫這首歌是有來由的..
他是在講述自己的親身經歷，當他還是17歲時..
被母親趕出家外露宿街頭，他曾在一條名為Young Street Bridge的橋下面住過(因為西雅圖多雨)..
這首歌充分表現出他被忽視的孤單，尤其那句 "they don't have any feelings" ..
也可能是暗指家人對於他的存在完全沒任何感覺，但是他也無可奈何..
Something in the way....

下面這兩張圖便是Young Street Bridge這座橋，橋下有很多樂迷的留給Kurt的話..




這個影片是樂迷親身去Young Street Bridge拍的..
