Lyrics
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。
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。
After that, I specifically started writing lyrics. I would like sweat and think and get it all together.
在那之后，我开始专门写歌词。我愿意流汗，思考，然后把这些都集中起来。
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。
I don't really know what inspires me to write the music I do, but usually, the music will set the tone for the lyrics.
我真的不知道是什么激励我写我所做的音乐，但通常，音乐会为歌词设定基调。
I think the melody is the first time I hear in a song and if I like the melody, then I'll pay closer attention to the lyrics.
我认为旋律是我第一次听到一首歌，如果我喜欢这个旋律，我会更仔细地注意歌词。
I'd much rather talk about guitar playing. I hate it when people ask me about my lyrics. I always feel like telling them to just go and read them.
我更愿意谈吉他演奏。我讨厌别人问起我的歌词。我总是想告诉他们去读吧。
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 think you can have the greatest lyrics in the world and if it doesn't have the best tune in the world it will suck. I mean if the music wasn't important it would just be a poem.
我认为你可以有世界上最伟大的歌词，如果它没有世界上最好的曲调，它会很糟糕。我的意思是，如果音乐不重要，那就只是一首诗。
My earliest attempts at writing were when I was seven. I would sit at the piano and transcribe the songs I heard on the radio. I'd change little things in the music and write different lyrics.
我最早的写作尝试是在我七岁的时候。我会坐在钢琴前，把我在收音机里听到的歌曲抄录下来。我会改变音乐中的一些小细节，写不同的歌词。
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。
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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
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。
I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.
我认为我的旋律比我的歌词好。
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。
And it was then that I realized wow, I'm able to write lyrics and sing and stuff like that.
就在那时，我意识到，哇，我能写歌词和唱歌之类的。
I'm not into solos, I'm into lyrics.
我不喜欢独唱，我喜欢歌词。
