美国当红独立乐队Bright Eyes的灵魂人物Conor Oberst被r人称为这个世代最好的歌词创作者,被媒体誉为是这个时代的狄伦。不可否认他证明了能代表每个时代的声音总有强烈的社会意识,他的歌总是有强烈的批判味道,背后是一贯的坚持不妥协的态度。



Artist:Bright Eyes

Song:Four Winds



Four winds

by-DY

Your class, your caste, your country, sect 1, your name or your tribe

There's people always dying trying to keep them alive

His body's decomposing 2 in containers tonight

In an abandoned building where

A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl

With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl 3

She's standing 4 in the ashes at the end of the world

Four winds blowing through her hair

But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon

She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed

She caves

The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran's mute

If you burn them all together you get close to the truth still

They are pouring over Sanskrit on the ivy 5 league moons

While shadows lengthen 6 the sun

Cast all the school and meditation 7 built to soften 8 the times

And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds

It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines

Four winds, cry until it comes

And it's the sum of man

Slouching towards Bethlehem

A heart just can't contain all of that empty space

It breaks, it breaks, it breaks

Well, I went back by rented Cadillac, and company jet

Like a newly orphaned 9 refugee, retracing 10 my steps

All the way to Casa Dega to commune with the dead

They said, "You'd better look alive"

And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps

In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused 11 east

I buried my ballast, I made my peace

With four winds, leveling the pines

But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon

She just can't remain with all that outer space

She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves.
