[Verse 1]
There's an emptiness tonight

今晚 舞台上有一個空缺
A hole that wasn't there before

一個 從前不存在的缺口
And I keep reaching for the light

我一直試圖尋找那道光
But I can't find it anymore

但他已不復存在那兒了
There's an emptiness tonight

今晚 舞台上有一個空缺
A heavy hand that pulls me down

彷彿有雙沉重的手把我向地心拉去
They say it's gonna be alright

他們說 一切會好起來的
But can't begin to tell me how

但沒人能告訴我 到底要怎麼做才能讓一切好轉…

[Pre-Chorus]
And I ask myself out loud

我大聲質問自己…

[Chorus]
Have I been lost all along?

我是不是一直以來都迷失著?
Was there something I could say or something I should not have done?

是不是有什麼 我該說卻沒說 不該做卻做了?
Was I lost all along?

我是不是一直迷失著?
Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one?

我是不是 盲目尋找著 不曾存在的答案?
Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one?

我是不是 盲目尋找著 不曾存在的答案?

[Verse 2]
Is there sunshine where you are?

你在的地方 有陽光嗎?
The way there was when you were here

就像以前你在這裡的時候 你帶來的那種光芒
'Cause I'm just sitting in the dark

而我就只是在黑暗裡 坐著
In disbelief that this is real

不願相信這是真的
In disbelief that this is real

不願相信這是真的

[Chorus]
Have I been lost all along?

我是不是一直以來都迷失著?
Was there something I could say or something I should not have done?

是不是有什麼 我該說卻沒說 不該做卻做了?
Was I lost all along?

我是不是一直迷失著?
Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one?

我是不是 盲目尋找著 不曾存在的答案?
Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one?

我是不是 盲目尋找著 不曾存在的答案?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I ask myself out loud

我大聲質問自己…

[Chorus]
Have I been lost all along?

我是不是一直以來都迷失著?
Was there something I could say or something I should not have done?

是不是有什麼 我該說卻沒說 不該做卻做了?
Was I lost all along?

我是不是一直迷失著?
Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one?

我是不是 盲目尋找著 不曾存在的答案?
Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one?

我是不是 盲目尋找著 不曾存在的答案?
 

這首的歌詞一點都不難

難的是動筆寫文章

要一遍又一遍又一遍重複聽這首會讓人心碎的歌

要仔細 深刻 專注地揣摩每句歌詞要表達的情緒

是震驚 是吶喊 是懊悔 是不捨 是思念

這首歌由Mike Shinoda創作並演唱

演唱的場合是10/27他們為Chester Bennington舉辦的紀念音樂會

_

好吧

雖然最近是爆炸期中週

但自從看了那場紀念演唱會(影片附上)

我到現在還是一直陷在那種失去了什麼的感覺裡

It feels like I’ve lost a best friend that I’ve never met.

Linkin Park的舞台上

少了那個最核心最搶眼最才華洋溢最善解人意的身影

從這首歌

我們可能可以略窺團員們在面對Chester離開的心情吧

一個情同兄弟的人永遠離開了

他們承受的打擊可能不亞於他的家人

Is there sunshine where you are?

你在那裡過得還好嗎?

那裡也有像你這樣的陽光嗎?

Is there something I could say or something I should not have done?

是不是 如果我當初多做些什麼

你就不會走了?

你就會留下來了?

_

我這人什麼沒有就是淚腺發達

就算為了寫這篇文章這首歌我聽了10幾次

每一次聽都還是像有一隻隱形的手用力擰著我的心臟

呼吸不過來

然後眼淚不知不覺又決堤而出

這幾天哭出來的超過一公升了吧(?

團員們跟Chester的遺孀Talinda現在在推動一些防治心理疾病的活動(網址附上)

我沒說那不重要喔 那非常重要 防止更多人像Chester那樣逼自己走上絕路

但今天

能不能就奢侈地沉浸在失去的傷痛裡面

什麼都不說 什麼都不想

這段時間 給只屬於我們和Linkin Park 和Chester之間的故事

下面放幾首我很喜歡的歌

一起透過他的聲音來懷念他吧

1.Numb

2.What I've Done

3.In the End

4.Castle of Glass

5.Burning in the Skies

6.Iridescent

7.Shadow of the Day

8.Breaking the Habit

9.Final Masquerade

10.Guilty All the Same

11.Battle Symphony

12.Nobody Can Save Me

13.Sorry For Now

14.One More Light

Goodbye Chester...
