MILANO ACOUSTICS: Matt Elliott - Oh How We Feel
Oh How We Fell
Matt Elliott
The sudden realization that not all is what it seems
Rises somehow exponentially
It turns from a cry into a wail
Then a scream and then a howl
An endless broken dull soliloquy
一切のものは、そのようなものではないという突然の認識は
どういう訳か、不意に見えて来る
それは、悲嘆を号泣に、次に悲鳴に、そうして次に遠吠えに変える
この何時果てるとも知れない、途切れ途切れの沈滞した独白
Pain can force the hand and turn the mind
The pictures taint the judgement every time
Then I turn around and see a wreck strewn on the road
The pictures and the pain you'll never know
The pictures and the pain that I was good enough
To keep from scarring you
Some things are meant for you and you alone
苦悩は人を追い詰め、知性を混乱させるだろう
どのような時も、心象が、判断力を鈍らせる
その時ようやく、僕は振り返り、条理の上に散在している残骸を見る
君が知りたがらないその心象と苦悩
僕が君を怯えさせ続けるのに充分だったその心象と苦悩
君達を孤独に向かわせる行いがある
And so I add more fuel to the fire
And try to find an answer in the pyre
At first the flame’s a comfort but the smoke gets in the eyes
There's only so much left that one can burn
And now I find I'm dancing 'round the ashes of the bridges that I've burned
I take nothing from the lessons that I've learned
つまりそうして、僕は、火に、更に油を注ぎ
積み薪の中にさえ一つの答えを求めようとする
最初は、煙が目に沁みるが、火炎は慰めである
人がひりひりする筈の、無比の、極めて大切なものが委ねられて、其処に在る
結局今も、僕は、燃え落ちた橋の灰燼の周りで、踊っているに過ぎない
僕は、学んだ教訓から、何一つ得られない
And so the wheel relentlessly goes round
Just cuts the rut a little deeper down
This youthful smile has turned into a frown
The eyes forever down
The spark forever drowned
そうして車輪は容赦なく回転する
敗北の轍（わだち）を少しだけ深く刻む
この若々しい笑顔が、渋面に変わった
絶えず伏目がちなその眼差し
永久に掻き消された生気
残りは、訳してありますから、少しずつ書いて行きます。
I'll sing as I go
I've learned well that it's best not to know
And i use up the last of what's left
In a vain effort just to forget
this arm contracts as it's pulled
it's disturbing the calm of the pool
i am lost in this mournful refrain
while re-analyzing this stain
this tainted wreck of lies again
and if what you said is true
i'm condemned to repeat 'till i'm through
least until i can learn to forget
or learn simply not to notice
and this dream i could weep
so profoundly i finally could sleep
undisturbed by the demons and shades
and this endless cycle of betrayal
oh how we fell
and how is one supposed to mourn if one is not entirely sure what has died
and if it's dead and if it's dead and if it's dead and if it's dead why can't i cry
and all the things you told me that you read upon my palm they were lies
say that they were lies
