I brought a knife to a gun fight槍林彈雨中我只帶了一把小刀

They took the crown but it's alright

他們奪走我的皇冠我并不在乎

All the liars are calling me one

那些騙子呼喚著我的名字

Nobody's heard from me for months

幾個月來我就這樣銷聲匿跡

I'm doing better than I ever was

但我感到前所未有的輕松

Cause my baby's fit like a daydream

因為他就像我的夢中情人

Walking with his head down

低著頭緩緩踱步

I'm the one he's walking to

正向我款款走來

So call it what you want yeah, call it what you want to

隨便你們怎么想，隨便你們怎么說了

My baby's fly like a jet stream

High above the whole scene

將這一幕幕盡收眼底

Loves me like I'm brand new

愛上了完全蛻變的我

So call it what you want yeah, call it what you want to

All my flowers grew back as thorns

親手栽種的花朵重新布滿荊棘

Windows boarded up after the storm

All the drama queens taking swings

戲精們得意地晃蕩著秋千

And I know I make the same mistakes every time

我知道我一直在重蹈覆轍

Chain round my neck

【聽歌學英語】

My castle crumbled overnight

我的城堡一夜之間轟然倒塌

crumble這個動詞的意思是“崩潰；弄碎；破滅”。

The?cliffs?on which the?houses?are?built?are?starting?to crumble.

上面建有房屋的懸崖開始傾頹瓦解。

也可以形容力量和影響力減弱，崩潰，瓦解，敗落。

Support for the?government?is crumbling.

對政府的支持日漸減少。

?

Cause my baby's fit like a daydream

因為他就像我的夢中情人

daydream的意思是“美夢，幻想，白日夢”。

She stared out of the windows, lost in daydreams.

她凝視窗外，陷入白日夢中。

?

My baby's fly like a jet stream

他就像急流般翱翔于高空?

jet stream的意思是“急流；噴射氣流”，來看看stream這個詞。

它的名詞含義是小河；水流，作動詞的基本意思是“流動”，也可以指大量不斷地流動，引申可指“飄動”。

最近很流行的“網(wǎng)絡直播”就翻譯為live video streaming，這是名詞含義，動詞就翻譯為live-stream。

live-stream classes?to keep students from falling behind

利用網(wǎng)絡直播授課，以防學生功課落下

?

They fade to nothing when I look at him

但當我看到他的身影，他們都不復存在

fade的意思是“?逐漸消失；褪色；凋謝”，看一下常見搭配：

fade into darkness消失在黑暗中

fade into obscurity化為一片朦朧

fade to silence變得沉寂

fade from mind從腦海中消失

?

Bridges burn, I never learn

破釜沉舟，我永遠都學不會

這里用到了一個習語“burn your boats/bridges”，意思是自斷退路；破釜沉舟。

Now you have resigned your position in the company; you have burned your boats.

現(xiàn)在你已經(jīng)辭去了公司中的職務，你沒有退路了。

?

Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night

他清澈明亮的眼眸劃亮了我的黑暗夜空

starry的意思很好理解，就是“星光照耀的；象星星一樣閃亮的”。比如：

a starry night/sky

繁星點點的夜晚／天空

spark做不及物動詞，表示“閃爍；冒火花；熱情回應”；做及物動詞，表示“激發(fā)；引起；向...求愛”。

spark用作名詞時意思是“火花”，也有衍生義為“導火線，誘因”。

That small incident was the spark that set off the street riots.

那件小事是街頭暴亂的誘因。
