歌曲歌詞

it's cold cold world

i can't feel ,i can't be real and now i need something

maybe i gotta star up hate's become my only dollar

i can't move i can't see but with the devil i gotta barter

i am numb wanna drow in rum

wanna fill my lung'cause i am so so heart-strong

my heart'swollen and dowm i'm rollin

this hand up over the beast and death is looking golden now

總算是流干了眼淚

總算習(xí)慣了殘忍

太陽(yáng)每天都照常升起

在爛醉的清晨

像早前的天真夢(mèng)想

被時(shí)光損毀

再?zèng)]什么能讓我下跪

我們笑著灰飛煙滅

人如鴻毛

命若野草

無(wú)可救藥

卑賤又驕傲

無(wú)所期待

無(wú)可乞討

命運(yùn)如刀

就讓我來(lái)領(lǐng)教

waking up in the morning my first thought is about life

the same stress and strife.misery is my wife

cause i'm living in a club nightmare

and my soul is on death row but i've dealt wieh that

i'm sweating regret so i drink to forgeti must follow my fears on and up hill battle down a dead and street

but now i'm smiling now.i can't frown i need air but i wanne drown

歌曲鑒賞

樸樹(shù)用一種近乎苦行僧的迷狂，用這部傳記試圖漸抵印度大師泰戈?duì)枴笆怪缦幕ㄖk爛，死若秋葉之靜美”的純?nèi)恢?。歌曲《傲慢的上校》浪漫而憂傷。英文部分帶有Rap的風(fēng)格。中文部分是典型的樸式歌曲風(fēng)格。^[2]歌曲在后期處理當(dāng)中加入了很多電子音效，甚至還配上了一段說(shuō)唱，使得這首歌曲和當(dāng)時(shí)很多的流行歌有了質(zhì)的區(qū)別，而更不用說(shuō)這首歌有如箴言一般的歌詞，就像刀子一般扎入人們心中，銘心刻骨。^[3]
