A Closing Word (feat. James)歌詞

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Dragos Chiriac
[00:02.00]What is it to be a man?
[00:05.00]Is it to be romantic?
[00:08.00]Fueling its own nostalgia
[00:10.00]With dreams of death in battle
[00:13.00]Submitting its body to hard privations
[00:16.00]Gaining the curse of martyrdom
[00:19.00]Leaving this world in a blind and passionate fashion
[00:23.00]In the arms of a consuming mistress
[00:28.00]Stupidly jumping off the schlafen berg
[00:32.00]Dying on a piano, of an unexpected but inevitable sickness
[00:37.00]With a still dripping quill in the left hand
[00:40.00]Depicting unbalanced emotions in sheet music
[00:46.00]A deforming lens
[00:47.00]Aimed at a small fraction of the human catalogue
[00:51.00]Or, in the case of our contemporaries
[00:54.00]Depicting a long over exploited duality between good and evil
[01:01.00]As if the choice was a puzzling dilemma
[01:05.00]Attacking a God, killed over three centuries ago
[01:10.00]Counter facing the camera you borrowed money to pay for
[01:14.00]Implying references to esoteric Delphies
[01:18.00]Creating a non existing mystery around oneself
[01:22.00]What is it to be a woman?
[01:26.00]Being sad on a beach,
[01:28.00]A long monologue glorifying impossible loves
[01:33.00]Smoking cigarettes with boredom
[01:36.00]Enacting its own death in a car accident
[01:40.00]Maybe quit it all at 27
[01:43.00]Impressing some naive teenagers
[01:46.00]Who can’t but think that suffering is deep
[01:51.00]Clearly, there must be some other themes
[01:54.00]Who please both to mind and body
[01:58.00]While petitioning for genius and greatness
[02:00.00]Maybe give a listen to Fauré and Bach
[02:04.00]To the Greeks, Mill, and ironically, the great Goethe
[02:10.00]They are all brilliant men who worked hard
[02:13.00]… Still, they can’t be placed above manly affairs
[02:17.00]Because, concerning those, no one ever saw nor heard
[02:22.00]They remain interesting as photographs
[02:26.00]Which depict some of many human features
