13.The Awakening (Slow Burn)
觉醒(缓慢燃烧)
i really have to tell you this is not who i am
i was really quite normal like any other man
but then it all happened with no probably cause
it changed everything around me it changed who i was

我和其他人一样很正常
但这一切都发生在没有任何原因的情况下
它改变了我周围的一切，改变了我是谁
(don’t know who to believe can’t wake or go to sleep)
(不知道该相信谁，无法醒来或入睡)
when i walk into a room its like i’m not really there
some people look away the others stop & stare.
当我走进一个房间，就好像我不在那里
有些人把目光移开，另一些人停下来盯着看
lying here beside myself and listening to the rain
i asked for help to call someone but no one really came
did i want someone to listen or just apportion blame?
it was easier to say he’s probably gone insane.
from the back-streets with their corner shops
to the houses in pall mall
to the quacks on harley street
to the beggars down the hall
i understand that all of this defies reality
but all the really matters is something happened to me...
躺在我旁边，在这里听雨声
我请求帮助打电话给某人，但没有人真正来
我是想让别人听我的，还是只想分担责任？
说他可能疯了要容易得多。
从偏僻的街道和街角的商店
到帕尔美尔的房子
到哈利街的庸医
到大厅里的乞丐
我知道这一切都违背了现实
但真正重要的是发生在我身上的事情
slow burn...
bleed it out through the last refrain...
lost inside what you can’t explain
begin the skid across a blind turn...
the flame ignites into a slow burn
bleed it out through the last refrain...
trying to cope with what you can’t explain
begin the skid across a blind turn...
it all erupts into a slow burn
缓慢燃烧
通过最后的重复把它榨干
迷失在你无法解释之中
开始滑过一个盲目的转弯
火焰慢慢燃烧起来
通过最后的重复把它榨干
试图应付你无法解释的事情
开始滑过一个盲目的转弯
一切都会慢慢燃烧
14.Fallout (Of the 4th Kind)
后果（第四种）
i know i’m lost but it’s vaguely clear
that sometime long ago they had taken me here
familiar place that i can’t describe
buried deep within the recess of my mind
我知道我迷路了，但隐隐约约清楚
很久以前他们把我带到这里
我无法描述的熟悉的地方
深埋在我的内心深处
i know i’m here, not sure where that is
all i know is that its not supposed to exist
when the silence comes its about to start
void of sound except for their beating hearts
they come for me i just felt it move
system ctrl alt del ...
我知道我在这里，不确定那是哪里
我只知道它不应该存在
当寂静来临的时候，它就要开始了
没有声音，除了他们跳动的心
他们来找我，我只是觉得它在动
系统——“为了立即终结电脑的异常状态”
reboot
