(Soft ocean waves, distorted vinyl crackle)
沙哑的即兴哼唱:如此冰冷…如此深邃…
Yeah mmh
Can you hear it too
Seagulls used to write on sky in cursive
Now they circle ’round a plastic island
I still remember the blue it was perfect
Like a promise we painted wide and silent
Raspy ad-libs: So cold…so deep…
My childhood sleeps in a coral grave
And I’m dancing in a neon cave
We called it progress a shining disease
I wear the guilt like a second skin please—
If the sea cries in petroleum tears
Do we blink Do we feel the years
If the forests are whispers faint and erased
Will we wake before it’s all just a taste
We’re burning the album of tomorrow
Frames of green turned to hollow
I’m screaming but it’s just echo echo…
Saw a polar bear in a dream last Tuesday
Paws on melted glass eyes like lost highways
We build walls of numbers economics and hurry
While the earth slowly bleeds out its story
And I’m stitching a quilt from old leaves and sorrys
But the threads keep breaking unraveling futures
Are we just ghosts renting time from the dust
Turning kingdoms of life into rust…
If the sky falls in ashen confetti
Do we laugh Do we just let it be
If the rivers run backwards with nowhere to go
Will we still pretend we don’t know
We’re erasing the map of tomorrow
Colors fade into monochrome sorrow
I’m shouting but it’s just echo echo…
(Music fades to layered vocals water droplets)
The seventh tide won’t forgive…
The seventh tide remembers…
We were supposed to be keepers…
Just keepers…
(轻柔的海浪声失真的黑胶唱片噼啪声)
嗯……哼……
你也听到了吗?
海鸥曾用尾羽在天际书写花体
如今它们盘旋在一座塑料岛屿
我仍记得那抹蓝那抹完美的蓝
像我们曾描绘的广阔而沉默的誓言
我的童年沉睡在珊瑚墓冢
而我在霓虹洞穴里舞动
我们称那为进步一种闪光的顽疾
倘若大海以石油的泪哭泣
我们可会眨眼?可会感知岁月的痕迹?
倘若森林只剩微弱的低语终被抹去
我们可会在一切徒留余味前苏醒?
我们正焚烧明日的影集
翠绿的帧页化作空洞的痕迹
我放声呐喊却只余回声空洞的回声……
上周二梦见一只北极熊
掌踏融化的玻璃眼如迷失的路径
我们筑起高墙用数字、经济与仓促
任由大地缓缓流尽它的故事
我正用枯叶与歉意缝制一床棉被
但丝线不断断裂未来正分崩离析
难道我们只是向尘埃租借时间的幽灵?
将生命的王国悉数化为锈迹……
倘若天空飘落灰烬般的彩纸
我们可会欢笑?或只是任由它飘零?
倘若江河倒流无处可去
我们是否仍会假装不明所以?
我们正擦去明日的地图
色彩褪为单色的哀楚
我高声呼喊却只余回声空洞的回声……
(音乐渐弱融入层叠人声与水滴声)
第七重潮汐不会原谅……
第七重潮汐未曾遗忘……
我们本应是守护者……
仅仅是守护者啊……
