《推欧美的歌》去玩儿

82、The Monster

　　英文

　　I'm friends with the monster

　　That's under my bed

　　Get along with the voices inside of my head

　　You're trying to save me

　　Stop holding your breath

　　And you think I'm crazy

　　Yeah,you think I'm crazy (crazy)

　　I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek

　　Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosey

　　Wanted to receive attention for my music

　　Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me

　　For wanting my cake，and eat it too，

　　and wanting it both ways

　　Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated

　　When I blew seep it was confusing

　　Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf

　　Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam

　　Hit the lottery (oh wee)

　　With what I gave up to get it was bittersweet

　　It was like winning a used mink

　　Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink

　　I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep

　　Going cuckoo and kooky as Kool Keith

　　But I'm actually weirder than you think

　　I'm friends with the monster

　　That's under my bed

　　Get along with the voices inside of my head

　　You're trying to save me

　　Stop holding your breath

　　And you think I'm crazy

　　Yeah,you think I'm crazy (crazy)

　　Well that’s nothin'

　　Well that’s nothin'

　　Now I ain't much of a poet

　　But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment

　　And don't squander it

　　Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow、

　　so I keep conjuring

　　Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

　　(Yeah,ponder it, do you wonder ，no wonder

　　you're losing your mind， the way it wanders)

　　I think you've been wandering off down yonder

　　and stumbled on Jeff VanVonderen

　　Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene

　　between me and this monster

　　And save me from myself and all this conflict

　　Cause the very things that

　　I love is killing me and I can't conquer it

　　My OCD is clonking me in the head

　　Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking

　　I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying

　　Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the...

　　I'm friends with the monster

　　That's under my bed

　　Get along with the voices inside of my head

　　You're trying to save me

　　Stop holding your breath

　　And you think I'm crazy

　　Yeah,you think I'm crazy

　　Well that’s not fair

　　Well that’s not fair

　　Call me crazy, but I had this vision

　　One day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilian

　　But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at

　　Emcees,blood get spilled and I’ll

　　Take it back to the days that I’d get on a Dre track

　　Give every kid who got played that

　　Pumped up feeling and shit that say back

　　To the kids who played 'em

　　I ain't here to save the fucking children

　　But if one kid out of a hundred million

　　Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates， that's great

　　It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back In the draft

　　turn nothing into something, still can make ，

　　that straw in the gold chump，

　　I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack

　　Maybe I need a straight jacket face facts

　　I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that

　　It's nothing, I'm still friends with a...

　　I'm friends with the monster

　　That's under my bed

　　Get along with the voices inside of my head

　　You're trying to save me

　　Stop holding your breath

　　And you think I'm crazy

　　Yeah,you think I'm crazy (crazy)

　　I'm friends with the monster

　　That's under my bed

　　Get along with the voices inside of my head

　　You're trying to save me

　　Stop holding your breath

　　And you think I'm crazy

　　Yeah,you think I'm crazy (crazy)

　　Well that’s not fair

　　Well that’s not fair

　　译文

　　我是妖魔的朋友

　　来自床底

　　和脑海中的声响淡定相处

　　你想拯救我么

　　别屏息期待奇迹

　　你觉得我疯了

　　呵呵你觉得我疯了

　　我渴望声名但不想要新闻周刊的头条关注

　　好吧我想作为乞丐没法太挑拣

　　我希望我的音乐得到关注

　　众目睽睽下又希望不要被烦搅真是抱歉

　　鱼和熊掌我偏要兼得

　　声名让我如气球急剧膨胀

　　看吧最终破裂开来这让人迷惑

　　因为我想要的全部就是成为歌词纸上的李小龙

　　落墨无意我却用它点起滚滚的蒸汽炉

　　一把中头彩哦耶

　　想想我舍弃了什么苦乐参半

　　好像一路牺牲赢得一件二手的貂皮衣

　　真是讽刺我如此自我膨胀 需要心理医生把我缩回去

　　我开始失眠一只羊 两只羊

　　变得像 Kool Keith 一样古灵精怪

　　但我比你想象得更加诡怪

　　因为我

　　我是妖魔的朋友

　　来自床底

　　和脑海中的声响淡定相处

　　你想拯救我么

　　别屏息期待奇迹

　　你觉得我疯了

　　你觉得我疯了

　　何止是疯狂这不值一提

　　何止是疯狂这不值一提

　　我不是诗人但有人告诉过我

　　要攫住机会不要浪费

　　因为你永远不知道可能明天一切都烟消云散

　　所以我努力创造有时我都不知道这些想法从何而来

　　是啊 深思可以创造奇迹

　　难怪你失去理智任由思绪徘徊 阿拉拉蒂啦

　　我想思绪的来源不知所以最后不觉想起了Jeff VanVonderen

　　因为我需要有人在我和这头恶魔之间筑起高墙

　　拯救我于痛苦之间来阻止这场厮杀

　　因为曾经我的最爱反而让我生不如死我无力抵抗这种感觉

　　我的强迫症如鲠在喉让我无力

　　门外敲门声不断家中无人我已陷入梦游之中

　　我只是在传达脑海里的恶魔的讯息

　　别怪罪传话的我我只是在和恶魔为伴

　　我是妖魔的朋友

　　来自床底

　　和脑海中的声响淡定相处

　　你想拯救我么

　　别屏息期待奇迹

　　你觉得我疯了

　　你觉得我疯了

　　何止是疯狂这不值一提

　　何止是疯狂这不值一提

　　大可叫我癫狂无所谓但我却有了这种憧憬

　　总有一天我也能像普通人一般行走在你们身旁

　　但除非音乐的鼓点就此消沉否则我依旧会用犀利的话语

　　让说唱界血流成河

　　我希望还能回到过去唱着Dr. Dre的歌曲的日子里

　　让所有遭受欺负的孩子们得到勇气

　　让他们鼓起自信向那些欺凌他们的

　　恶少们以血还血

　　但我特么才不是来拯救弱小儿童的

　　但如果人群中真有人

　　受尽痛苦折磨但听到我的歌能得到力量这让我很感激

　　这算是回报好比Russell Wilson在首轮完全被人忽视

　　但克服了困难成就一番事业

　　点石成金即使千难万险我也要亲自让不可能化为可能

　　也许我疯癫到要穿上拘束衣面对事实吧

　　我就是个疯子但对此我悠然自得

　　这都不算什么我只是在和恶魔为伴

　　我是妖魔的朋友

　　来自床底

　　和脑海

　　这首歌2013年发行，那时姆爷反思了过去，成名的负面影响，他与之前有了很大变化。
　　但他现在陷入了中年危机。(胖了，也没有出神作，而且声线与巅峰时期产生了一点变化。看看2020年他唱的lose yourself，再看看他17年前唱的。)
