Lyrics are really important for me.
歌词对我来说真的很重要。
I'm not into solos, I'm into lyrics.
我不喜欢独唱，我喜欢歌词。
I might lie a lot but never in my lyrics.
我可能经常说谎，但从不在我的歌词中。
I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.
我认为我的旋律比我的歌词好。
I want to touch people's lives with my music and my lyrics.
我想用我的音乐和歌词感动人们的生活。
Life like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.
生活就像一首美妙的旋律，只有歌词是混乱的。
A lot of the time there is a lot of melancholy in the lyrics.
很多时候歌词里都有很多忧郁。
Sort of like, I have to make the Japanese lyrics really deep.
有点像，我必须把日语歌词写得很深刻。
For mankind you've made your wintry bed. A shipwreck of your own mortality.
为了人类，你铺好了冬天的床。一艘你自己必死无疑的沉船。
You wrote my thoughts for all the world to see painted the sky with immortal words.
你写下了我的思想，让全世界都看到你用不朽的文字绘出的天空。
Some things remain fragments, just the lyrics and melodies or a line or two or a verse.
有些东西只是片段，只有歌词、旋律、一两行诗或一首诗。

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
For me, naming bands was the forerunner to really writing lyrics, because I work off titles.
对我来说，给乐队命名是真正写歌词的先驱，因为我不用写标题。
There's two facets to writing a song. There's you sitting in your room writing the sentiments of the song; the lyrics, the melody and the changes, and then there's the part where you go into the studio and you put clothing on it.
写一首歌有两个方面。你坐在房间里写这首歌的情感;歌词，旋律和变化，还有你走进录音室，穿上衣服的部分。
Most of the lyrics are over a year old, and it doesn't feel like it's about me. Time created a distance.
大部分歌词都有一年多的历史了，感觉上不像是关于我的。时间创造了距离。
And where colours like a rainbow dance alive, as wisdom’s arrows rain down and ages come to pass.
在那里，色彩像彩虹般鲜活地舞蹈，就像智慧之箭落下，岁月流逝。
When I write, it is always the melody that comes first, and it just happens to be the case that the most beautiful tunes are sad, and the lyrics follow the mood of the melody.
当我写作的时候，总是先有旋律，而最美丽的曲调往往是悲伤的，而歌词是跟着旋律的心情来的。
I just kept it real and had the freedom to do what I want. It's not designed for any age group. It's not made for radio. There are no edits. The whole album contains explicit lyrics but that's because you need it.
我只是保持真实，有自由做我想做的。它不是为任何年龄段设计的。它不是为收音机做的。没有编辑。整张专辑包含明确的歌词，但那是因为你需要它。
