歌曲歌词
英文
I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
We're stressed out
Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from
I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one
It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose
Same clothes homegrown a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree-house homes we all would take the ladder
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"
Yeah
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"
Yeah
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money"
Yeah

我想找到新旋律 能惊艳人耳
拼命练习为更好的歌 添上更美的音色
绞尽脑汁寻找最美和弦 让人眼前一亮
也想要不用每句话 都押韵不停
都说长大以后 我会变得勇敢无畏
可我如今瞻前顾后 总担心旁人谈评
我叫做路人甲 我很在意你的点评
还有另一个我 他介怀你的每句话
渴望回到当年
那些美好岁月
那时由妈妈哄着入睡
如今却紧张得要死
多想逆转时间
那些无忧时光
曾经妈妈的歌
如今只剩我独自彷徨
我们紧张不安
有种隐约的味道能把我唤回年轻时光
恍惚中我却回忆不起为何如此
寻着模糊的味道 我把蜡烛点亮
试图摆脱 却总无所获
无力摆脱
那一定是我兄弟 我们有着同样的鼻子
同样的衣服 同样的家 带着同样的打水漂的童年
就这样忘怀在无忧无虑的年代
没有助学金没有树屋 脱身于如今的困苦
我叫做路人甲 我很在意你的点评
还有另一个我 他介怀你的每句话
渴望回到当年
那些美好岁月
那时由妈妈哄着入睡
如今却紧张得要死
多想逆转时间
那些无忧时光
曾经妈妈的歌
如今只剩我独自彷徨
那时我们过家家 扮演厉害角色
看想象中的火箭 远远高飞
当年幻想中的外太空
如今被无情撕碎
醒醒吧 工头喊你搬砖
耶
那时我们过家家 扮演厉害角色
看想象中的火箭 远远高飞
当年幻想中的外太空
如今被无情撕碎
醒醒吧 工头喊你搬砖
耶
渴望回到当年
那些美好岁月
那时由妈妈哄着入睡
如今却紧张得要死
多想逆转时间
那些无忧时光
曾经妈妈的歌
如今只剩我独自彷徨
那时过着家家 那时还有梦想
玩什么过家家 醒醒吧 要挣钱
那时傻傻闹闹 那时无忧无虑
别再无理取闹 醒醒吧 你没钱
那时我们过家家 扮演厉害角色
看想象中的火箭 远远高飞
当年幻想中的外太空
如今被无情撕碎
醒醒吧 还有责任在肩
歌曲鉴赏
《Stressed Out》这首歌曲是对伴随成年时期的压力而至的黯淡情感的一种流露。歌曲分别将无忧无虑的童年生活与成年人的压力、树屋的欢乐与学生的债务负担以及向往外太空的童年梦与对个人外表和财富的担忧这三种对立面进行了对比。“过去做着外太空的梦,现在人们只会嘲笑我们说‘醒醒吧,该去挣钱养活自己了。’”,歌词看似戏谑不羁,但传达的同理心却被广大青年人接收并为之共鸣。
