The Big Picture-Bright Eyes

[00:00.000] 作词 : Conor Oberst [00:01.000] 作曲 : Bright Eyes [01:55.269]The picture is far too big to look at kid. Your eyes won't open wide enough [02:02.565]and you're constantly surrounded by that swirling stream of what is and what was. [02:08.955]Well, we've all made our predictions but the truth still isn't out. [02:21.791]But if you wanna see the future, go stare into a cloud. [02:35.058]And keep trying to find your way out of that maze of memories. [02:42.115]It all sort of looks familiar, until you get up close and it's different. clearly. [02:48.885]But each time you turn a corner, you're, you're right back where you were [03:01.017]and your only hope is that forgetting might make a door appear. [03:14.158]Well is it your fear of being buried that makes you so afraid to speak? [03:21.826]An avalanche of opinions like the one that feel that I am now underneath. [03:27.885]It was my voice that moved the first rock and I would do it all again. [03:40.109]So, I mean, it's cool if you keep quiet, but I like singing. [03:53.224]So I'll be holding my note and stomping and strumming and feeling so very lucky. [04:06.811]There is nothing I know except this lifetime's one moment [04:12.957]and wishing will just leave me empty. [04:20.254]So you can try and live in darkness but you will never shake the light. [04:27.407]It will greet you every morning [04:30.448]and it will make you more aware with its absence at night, [04:33.980]when you're wrapped up in your blankets baby, that comfortable cocoon. [04:46.617]But I have seen the day of your awakening boy and it's coming soon. [04:59.814]So go ahead and loose yourself in liquor and you can praise the clouded mind [05:07.077]but it isn't what you're thinking no, it's the course of history, your position in line. [05:13.365]You're just a piece of the puzzle so I think you'd better find your place. [05:25.999]And don't go blaming your knowledge on some fruit you ate. [05:39.173]Cause there's been a great deal of discussion, yes, about the properties of man. [05:46.579]Animal or angel? You were carved from bone, but your heart it's just sand. [05:53.000]And the wind is going to scatter it and cover everything with love. [06:05.040]So if it makes you happy, then keep kneeling Mama, but I am standing up. [06:18.100]Because this veil, it has been lifted. Yes, my eyes are wet with clarity. [06:25.090]I've been a witness of such wonders. Oh, I've searched for them all across this country [06:31.714]but I think I'll be returning now to the town where I was born. [06:43.937]And I understand you must keep moving friend, but I am heading home. [06:56.872]Yeah I'm gonna follow the road and let the scenery sweeping by easily enter my body. [07:10.750]And I'll send you all this message in code, under ground, over mountains, [07:16.719]through forests, deserts and cities. [07:21.397]All across the electric wire, it's a baited line. The hook is in deep boys, [07:29.448]there is no more time. So you can struggle in the water and be too stubborn to die, [07:33.746]or you could just let go and be lifted to the sky.
