Coldplay 週末就要在高雄世運主場館開唱,複習歌單,毫不意外又一次停在 The Scientist 單曲循環。
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry/
You don't know how lovely you are/
I had to find you/
Tell you I need you/
Tell you I set you apart
這可以說是一首很純粹的情歌,文字簡單、情感真摯,道盡失戀後的懊悔和低喃。還沒說完的話、還沒一起走到的未來,好似淡然,但情緒已經滿盈幾近潰堤。
Tell me your secrets/
And ask me your questions/
Oh let's go back to the start
最初吸引我的還得是 The Scientist 這個命題,精準地切中用理智看待大部分關係的自己。大多時候確實也是可以透過理性分析得到不錯的結果,或至少保護自己不受太重的傷。只是當情感過濃、關係驟變,漫過了警戒線,頓時失準的所有邏輯和量測,更容易讓自己陷入失序的混亂。
I was just guessing/
At numbers and figures/
Pulling your puzzles apart/
Questions of science/
Science and progress/
Do not speak as loud as my heart
經歷過一些什麼,也聽了身邊朋友各式各樣的經驗分享,好像懂了些什麼,卻誰也說不準下一個人應該如何相處才是最好。這種茫然的狀態,大概是這首歌描繪得最最真切的部分了。
Nobody said it was easy/
No one ever said it would be so hard
滿溢的心意和好多好多想說的話,最後還是只凝成最直覺的奢求。如果能重來就好了...
Oh take me back to the start
