Brooklyn
Manic Sheep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
他們穿著你所喜愛的
他們的生活方式
變成你的信仰
看過了多少表演
聽過了多少唱片
所有這些只是讓你明白
他們唱著你所嚮往的
他們穿著你所喜愛的
不管你怎麼追趕
終究是晚了一些
看過了多少表演
聽過了多少唱片
所有這些只是讓我知道
我早已失去了靈魂
The lyrics to Manic Sheep's song "Brooklyn" are a reflection on the emptiness felt by someone who has become consumed by the lifestyle and culture of their idols. The opening lines suggest that the things the person desires and admires in others have become pervasive in their own life, to the point where they are seen as beliefs, rather than aspirations. The next lines ask how many shows and albums the person has experienced, implying a sense of apathy and repetition in their pursuit of this ideal.
The chorus repeats the idea that the person is chasing after something they admire, but it is ultimately too late. The line "you have lost your soul" highlights the toll this lifestyle has taken on the person's identity and sense of self. The second verse is identical to the first, except for a change in pronoun to "I", suggesting that the singer is also experiencing this same emptiness.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a cautionary tale about idolizing others and losing sight of one's own values and identity in the process.
