[2005-11-7]倾情诉说Through Her Eyes

Music my Dream Theater
Lyrics by John Petrucci
Nicholas:
She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstance
Now that I’ve become aware
And I’ve exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair
I’m learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate
Inloving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died
I’m learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bed
And I know what it’s like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same
She wasn’t given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I’ve been given so much more in life
I’ve got a son, I’ve got a wife
I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who I was at last
The door has opened wide
I’m turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes
译词:
在那月光皎潔
決定命運的夜晚
她不曾有任何挽回的機會
毫無反抗下犧牲
成了命運的犧牲品
如今我已全然了解
我曾經置身於一場悲劇當中
一股哀傷油然而生
一切似乎是那麼的不公平!
經由她的眼神
我透視了我的前生
毗鄰教堂大門的後院
那兒雜草叢生
看到墓碑上的墓誌銘
我覺得如同要窒息!
在我孩子可愛的記憶中
他們張著大眼多麼天真無邪!
我因空虛而飲泣
如同死亡的是屬於我的一部份!
從她的眼神中
我知道了自己的前世
當她的影像在我的腦海中徘迴時
我哭得像小孩一般
躺在床上無法入眠!
我能想像你失去所愛的感覺
如今我的感覺正是如此!
她不曾被給予任何機會
絕望(指Julian的絕望)奪走了她的生命。
我有老婆,孩子
在這一生當中老天爺賜予我這麼多。
在我的前世曾有過這麼悲慘的遭遇
哀悼她並向她道別
再次經歷前輩子的痛苦
我終於了解到前世我是誰!
靈魂的大門敞開
透過她的眼神
我的心緒如潮汐般的起落!

Dream Theater-Through Her Eyes出自专 辑:《Scenes From A Memory》(浮现在记忆中的场景)
這首歌由John Petrucci填詞,詞句優美有如現代詩。在Jordan Rudess典雅的鋼琴伴奏下,經由James Labrie感情豐富的嗓音作了最佳的詮釋,你不得不佩服John Petrucci的文學素養,短短的一首歌卻能把Nicholas哀傷的情境表達得如此淋漓盡至。我們也再一次領教到Jordan Rudess的鋼琴造詣,沒有感情的樂師,彈奏出來的音樂,縱然技巧再好,你也只能感受到他的匠氣,而一位才氣縱橫的樂師,音樂在他手中,如同賦予了生命!如果有人問你什麼是好音樂,我覺得不需要用什麼樂理或艱深的字眼去詮釋,能感動你的,對你而言,就是好音樂,至於別人怎麼想那已經不重要了。因為藝術是無法量化的,那是非常主觀的東西,這首歌,我覺得絕對是Progressive metal中的Classic Ballad。
