There's a face that we wear
In the cold light of day -
It's society's mask,
It's society's way,
And the truth is
That it's all a facade!
There's a face that we hide
Till the nighttime appears,
And what's hiding inside,
Behind all of our fears,
Is our true self,
Locked inside the facade!
Every day
People, in their own sweet way,
Like to add a coat of paint,
And be what they ain't!
That's how our little -
Game is played,
Livin' like a masquerade
Actin' a bizarre charade -
While playing the saint!
But there's one thing I know,
And I know it for sure:
This disease that we've got
Has got no ready cure!
And I'm certain
Life is terribly hard -
When your life's a facade!
Look around you!
I have found
You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface,
What is lurkin' there beneath it!
See that face!
Now, I'm prepared to bet you,
What you see's not what you get -
'Cause man's a master of deceit !
So, what is the sinister secret?
The lie he will tell you is true? -
It's that each man you meet
In the street
Isn't one man but two!
Nearly everyone you see -
Like him an' her,
An' you, an' me -
Pretends to be
A pillar of society -
A model for propriety -
Sobriety
An' piety -
Who shudders at the thought
Of notoriety!
The ladies an' gents 'ere before you -
Which none of 'em ever admits -
May 'ave saintly looks -
But they're sinners an' crooks!
Hypocrites!
Hypocrites!
There are preachers who kill!
There are killers who preach!
There are teachers who lie!
There are liars who teach!
Take yer pick, dear -
"Cause it's all a facade!
If we're not one, but two,
Are we evil or good?
Do we walk the fine line -
That we'd cross if we could?
Are we waiting -
To break through the facade?
One or two
Might look kinda well-to-do -
Hah! They're bad as me an' you,
Right down they're boots!
I'm inclined to think -
Half mankind
Thinks the other half is blind!
Wouldn't be surprise to find -
They're all in cahoots!
At the end of the day,
They don't mean what they say,
They don't say what they mean,
They don't ever come clean -
And the answer -
Is it's all a facade!
Is it's all a facade!
Man is not one, but two,
He is evil and good,
An' he walks the fine line
We'd all cross if we could!
It's a nightmare
We can never discard
So we stay on our guard
Though we love the facade
What's behind the facade?
Look behind the facade!
嗯
這份歌詞haku收在電腦裡好一陣子了
終於還是貼出來佔版面啦
是說黑王女開始定期張貼以後
一種意料不到的壓力出現了
每半個月貼出一篇
也就是說兩篇黑王女間有多少文章都看得清清楚楚啦==
這首歌第一次聽到是在台大合唱團表演上
明明是大學合唱團還是收了門票錢 ==
不過真的很有水準就是了
嘛...不後誨
Facade是歌劇"變身怪醫"裡面的一首曲子
來自法語「虛有其表」的意思
據說是整齣戲的主旋律吶
老實說歌詞還真難找啊==
原本找到翻譯好的中文歌詞
不過一對一下發現次序上還是有點不一樣
所以最後沒貼
就各位自己翻吧(喂)
不會很難的
嗯
很有震撼力的一首歌
是平民對貴族的指責
也可以是人對所有另一個人的指責
赤裸裸的
還滿有進入心坎的感覺吶 =v=
用一種快速強勁的節奏
來表現"普羅大眾"的生活感
而在這樣的真實之下
卻是一張張面具...
haku最喜歡的一段歌詞應該是那段
There are preachers who kill!
There are killers who preach!
There are teachers who lie!
There are liars who teach!
雖然說沒有特別深的寓意
不過這種對比和節奏唱起來還挺漂亮的
難得Daydream Placebo貼了首比較有水準的曲子
首度嘗試貼上悠吐的影片
網路又一直出問題
弄到後來還真是快沒耐心了
總而言之...
希望大家能好好欣賞 ‧v‧
