#3 《Cut the Bridge》斩断桥梁

you're too ignorant to fail
你无知到不知为何失败
like I can look you in the eye
就像我看着你的眼睛
and I can't even tell if you've been telling me a lie
却甚至无法分辨出你是否一直在对我撒谎
every time you start it's like the fourth day of July
每次你开始行动，就如美国独立日那般喧闹
reckless like you're making rockets just to blow up in the sky
鲁莽得就好似你在制造火箭，只为了让它在天空中爆炸
feeling like it's chemical

all under my skin like it's medical
深入肌肤，仿若病症般难以摆脱
stuck on repetitions that are only hypothetical
困在仅是假设的重复情境里，一味空想
acting like the truth and your opinion are identical
装作好像事实就等同于你的观点
but I can't seem to let it go
可即便心里明白，但仍然在意(你)

everything was perfect always made me nervous

knowing you would burn it just to watch it burn

cut the bridge we're on
切断我们所在的桥
(cut it down, cut it down down, cut it cut it down)
Going until it's gone
直到坠落深渊
(cut it down, cut it down down, cut it cut it down)
sabotage it all just to watch it fall
蓄意破坏这一切，只为看着它坍塌
cut the bridge we're on
切断我们所在的桥
(cut it down, cut it down down, cut it cut it down)

I'm too gullible to win I don't have a way to choose
太易信任他人使我步步皆输，毫无选择的余地
grew up thinking trying meant you never really lose

didn't put the powder in the keg when it blew
我没将火药放进桶中，而当它爆炸时
I was sitting on a dynamite for you to light the fuse
我就坐在炸药上等着你去点燃引信
oh looking like a criminal

sneaking in the dark you're invisible, hidden

you're wrapped around my neck just like a tentacle

整体来说，这首歌通过 “切断桥梁” 这样的隐喻，将想要摆脱不良关系、逃离有害循环的渴望具象化，是lp的味，有那种决绝和迫切，也暗示了这种改变所面临的困难，大爱。
