Achilles Come Down歌词

作词 : David Le'aupepe

Achilles, Achilles, Achilles come down
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
You’re scaring us and all of us, some of us love you,
Achilles, it's not much but there’s proof
You crazy-ass cosmonaut, remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles come down
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles come down
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
The self is not so weightless, nor whole or unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth
Where you go, I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping
Since there is no me without you
Soldier on Achilles, Achilles come down
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome,
But love the sweet air of the votives
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive
Today of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles jump now
You are absent of cause or excuse
So self-indulgent and self-reverential,
No audience could ever want you
You crave the applause yet hate the attention
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now
It’s a pointless resistance for you
Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
It’s all just conjecture and gloom
Don’t listen to what you’ve consumed
It’s chaos, confusion, and wholly unworthy
Of feeding and it’s wholly untrue
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing It’s all just conjecture and gloom. And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
Do not waste yourself on this roof
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul,
Chiming away for a moment
Feel your breath course frankly below
And see life as a worthy opponent
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
(It’s not worth it, Achilles!)
More poignant than fame or the taste of another
(Don’t listen, Achilles!)
But be real and just jump, you dense mother****er
(You’re worth more, Achilles!)
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
(So much more than a rat)
You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got
(No one asked your opinion!)
You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
(No one asked for your thoughts)
Be done with this now and jump off the roof
(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you
I’m talking to you
I’m talking to you
I’m talking to you
Achilles, come down
Achilles, come down
Throw yourself into the unknown,
With pace and a fury defiant
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
And see life as a means to a triumph
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome编辑于2023/12/19更新
