Given Up
Linkin Park退 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me!

I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused, but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow, somewhere
And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy

I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

God!

Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery

I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away




I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

《Nobody Can Save Me 沒有人能拯救我》

I'm dancing with my demons
我與心魔共舞
I'm hanging off the edge
縣吊在邊緣上
Storm clouds gather beneath me
暴風雨在我腳下聚集
Waves break above my head
海浪在我頭上裂解
Head-first hallucination
向著幻覺勇往直前

I wanna fall wide awake now
我想徹成清醒,脫離舊有生活
You tell me it's alright
妳告訴我這很好
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
告訴我在今晚被原諒了

But nobody can save me now
但現在沒有人可以拯救我
I'm holding up a light
我提起燈
I'm chasing up the darkness inside
驅走內心的黑暗
'Cause nobody can save me
因為沒有人可以拯救我

Stared into this illusion
凝視著眼前的幻覺
For answers yet to come
尋找還沒出現的答案
I chose a false solution
我選擇了錯誤的方式
But nobody proved me wrong
但沒有人能證明我是錯的
Head-first hallucination
勇往直前進入面對幻覺

I wanna fall wide awake
我想要清醒
Watch the ground giving way now
在現場看著
You tell me it's alright
妳告訴我這是好的
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
告訴我在今晚我被赦免了

But nobody can save me now
但是沒有人能拯救我
I'm holding up a light
我提起了燈
I'm chasing up the darkness inside
驅趕內心的黑暗
'Cause nobody can save me
因為沒有人能拯救我

Been searching somewhere out there
不斷尋找著在遠方的某處
For what's been missing right here (I wanna fall wide awake now)
為了那個在這裡遺失的
I've been searching somewhere out there
我不斷尋找在遠方的某處
For what's been missing right here
為了那個在這裡遺失的
I wanna fall wide awake now
我想現在完全清醒、擺脫過去
So tell me it's alright
所以告訴我,這一切都好
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
告訴我今晚我被赦免了

And only I can save me now
現在只有我能救贖自己
I'm holding up a light
我拿起了燈
Chasing up the darkness inside
驅趕內心的黑暗
And I don't wanna let you down
我不想讓你失望
But only I can save me!
但只有我能拯救我自己

Been searching somewhere out there
不斷尋找著遠處
For what's been missing right here
為了那些在這裡遺失的



張坤霖

這首歌個人覺得是帶給我們這些粉絲重生
Chester的離開讓我們明白
每個人都有脆弱的時候
而人往往沒注意到身邊的人早已經疲累不堪
所以面對這些早已疲累不堪的人
最重要的不是告訴他們要快樂、正向一點
而是花時間陪伴他們
讓他們能感受到即使他們不用訴說什麼也會有人陪在身邊

而正在精疲力盡的人
或許這首歌會帶給你們重生
聽了一遍可能會覺得悲傷
但相信我重複聽了數遍後會發現其中的魔力
我也是這樣走來的

Been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here
我覺得這兩句歌詞會是真正能讓大家救贖和重生的
💪💪

其實在人前表現的越正向的人,其實內心才是那個越孤獨黑暗的,因為不想要別人跟自己一樣,也想逃避想假裝自己本就跟一般人一樣,渴望太陽的溫暖,那不如就由自己來當太陽,卻疏不知這樣,會將自己燃燒殆盡⋯⋯
