Violet Hill的内容主要展现了现实的黑暗,如所谓政客的频频做秀(By a carnival of idiots on show)却不顾人们的疾苦(From the windows they were watching/While we froze down below);又用十分犀利的语言,可以说是十分blunt了,嘲笑了宗教的两面性,一方面宣扬与人为善,同时又对于所谓"正义"的战争睁一只眼闭一只眼(Priests clutched onto Bibles/Hollowed out to fit their rifles),顶多也只是事后为之祷告(a cross was held aloft),And a fox became God,可见Martin至少认为是十分狡猾的。Violet Hill可能是一种试图躲避现实黑暗的一种心灵寄托。
Violet hill
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow
Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low
If you love me won't you let me know
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto Bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a cross was held aloft
Bury me in armour
When I'm dead and hit the ground
My nerves are poles that unfroze
And if you love me won't you let me know
I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below
So if you love me why d'you let me go?
I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still
Said if you love me, won't you let me know?
If you love me won't you let me know? |
