這首跟"The Reckoning"一樣是在前年從法國回來時在飛機上聽到的ˊ艸ˋ
先放上歌詞MV
歌名：Poltergeist
Can you hear me now?
White noise drowning me out
I don't know what I did
'Fraid like a little kid
Trapped underneath my bed
All I want now is to find a way out
Cuz I'm convinced, call in the exorcist
How did it get to this?
你能聽見我嗎？
白噪音快使我滅頂
我不知道我做了什麼
讓自己嚇得像個孩子
受困在床底
我現在只想逃出生天
因為我被說服，快找來驅魔師
事情為何演變至此？
Becoming a shadow of who I was
Can anyone hear me?
成為當下鬼影竟是我的過去
有誰能聽見我？
Screaming from inside
It's haunting me like a poltergeist
Eating me alive
It's got me running for my life
There's something deep beneath the surface that's possessing me
Can you hear me now?
The silence, the silence is drowning me out
囚禁在內心哭號
糾纏我陰魂不散
將我生吞活剝
讓我為了活命而奔逃
有東西深藏在表象下正試圖佔據我
你能聽見我嗎？
這寂靜，這寂靜正在淹沒我
Echoes in the night bringing me to life
Forgotten, unwanted
I'm helplessly fallen
Not running but crawling
I fight, cuz I'm unafraid
I've something I've made
Somewhere beneath it
I want to believe it
Help me find a way
深夜回音使我復甦
被遺忘，不被渴望
我無可救藥地墜落
不是在奔跑而是連滾帶爬
我奮鬥，因為我不再畏懼
我擁有我自己的造物
潛藏其中
我想相信它
助我逃出生天
To get back the things that I have lost
Can anybody hear me?
為了奪回失去的事物
有誰能聽見我？
Screaming from inside
It's haunting me like a poltergeist
Eating me alive
It's got me running for my life
There's something deep beneath the surface that's possessing me
Can you hear me now?
The silence, the silence is drowning me out
The silence, the silence is drowning me out
The silence, the silence is drowning me out
囚禁在內心哭號
糾纏我陰魂不散
將我生吞活剝
讓我為了活命而奔逃
有東西深藏在表象下正試圖佔據我
你能聽見我嗎？
這寂靜，這寂靜正在淹沒我
這寂靜，這寂靜正在淹沒我
這寂靜，這寂靜正在淹沒我
Like a dream that never ends
Can't go on, can't make amends
These walls are slowly caving in
Breaking bad with all my sins
Such a heavy broken heart
Can't take the weight of all these scars
Something out there, telling me
No one here is listening
彷彿不醒的夢魘
無法繼續，無法施令
牆壁緩緩逼近
用盡我的罪孽除惡狂歡
這顆破碎的心過於沉重
無法承受所有傷疤
外頭有聲音告訴我
這裡沒半個人在聽
Screaming from inside
It's haunting me like a poltergeist
Eating me alive
It's got me running for my life
There's something deep beneath the surface that's possessing me
Yeah you hear me now
The silence, the silence is drowning me out
囚禁在內心哭號
糾纏我陰魂不散
將我生吞活剝
讓我為了活命而奔逃
有東西深藏在表象下正試圖佔據我
好好聽我說
這寂靜，這寂靜正在淹沒我
(完)
翻譯後記：
這首歌致敬的電影應該很明顯能猜出是哪部吧，是說整張專輯Unbreakable起碼有3首歌和MV可以明顯看到一些驚悚片的影子，不過"Poltergeist"應該是專輯裡唯一一首連歌詞都跟電影內容有關的~
如果還沒看過這部電影真的非常推薦
整張專輯最明顯有致敬味道的MV其實是"Shup Up"
還記得原本是哪位雅痞穿著雨衣拿斧頭亂砍嗎ˊ艸ˋ
另一首是"Come For Me"，題材稍微多了點，但滿多地方還是能看到某部吸血鬼電影的影子~
喬治?克隆尼：That's what I call a fucking show!
但如果不從致敬電影這點來看的話，"Poltergeist"歌詞想傳達的意境應該還是有很多想像空間的(雖然十之八九絕對不會是多美好的畫面)，這就要由聽眾自行發揮想像力了~
結果原本要翻包浩斯變成翻這首，到底XD
