標題曲

我每次在很晚的時候,把百葉窗扭成可以讓窗外的路燈跟山葉機車的招牌霓虹燈可以射進房間的角度的時候,都很適合看五星物語,同時一個人緩緩的聽著REM主唱神經質但是迷人的嗓子,就像是想要讓Odysseus 回不了家的,在海上唱歌的三女妖似的聲音。很奇怪,開始聽了之後就會停不住的一直聽,要是不知道什麼唱機停了播完了,人也就會恢復正常了。

可以從一個小時的乾渴跟寂寞中走出來,還好不用被綁在桅杆上面。

R.E.M.

Hope

you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.
you know that it sounds childish
that you're dreamt of alligators.
you hope that we are with you
and you hope you're recognized
you want to go forever
you see it in my eyes.
I'm lost in the confusion
and it doesn't seem to matter
you really can't believe it
and you hope it's getting better.

you want to trust the doctors
their procedure is the best
but the last try was a failure
and the intern was a mess.
and they did the same to Matthew
and he bled 'til sunday night
they're saying don't be frightened
but you're weakened by the sight of it
you lock into a pattern
and you know that it's the last ditch
you're trying to see through it
and it doesn't make sense
but they're saying don't be frightened
and they're killing alligators
and they're hog-tied
and accepting of the struggle

you want to trust religion
and you know it's allegory
but the people who are followers
have written their own story.
so you look up to the heavens
and you hope that it's a spaceship
and it's something from your childhood
you're thinking don't be frightened

you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever
you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.
and you want to cross your dna
to cross your dna with something reptile.
and you're questioning the sciences
and questioning religion
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care.
and you want to bridge the schism,
a built-in mechanism to protect you.
and you're looking for salvation
and you're looking for deliverance
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care.
you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever.
you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.

不是很巧的正好對應於寂寞的曲子嗎?我們是三女妖,我們早就警告過你了。
