歌 ~~ 圓圈（Circles）James Blunt

這是英国歌手 James Blunt（詹姆士·布朗特）在今年十月發出的單曲， 歌詞描繪著現代人為了各種理由在按部就班地「原地打轉」， 畫著一個又一個的圓圈。 歌詞：「所以來吧，深呼吸， 空氣是良藥 」（So come and breathe it in. The air's the medicine.） 字字句句都是那種不甘卻無力，內心掙扎卻自我拉扯中無奈地繼續原地打轉。 每個人在某時某刻都會有那種， 想要放下一切， 逃離困境， 偏偏只能捨棄自我， 變成別人期待的樣子。 守著禁錮著我們的「牢籠」。

Do you ever feel like you just want to turn and go?

Take the red-eye south headed down to Mexico?

Do you ever want a brand new start

Cause the person that you really are, isn't who you are?

Do you ever hear people talk about what's meant to be?

Walk away thinking man, that isn't meant for me?

Sometimes life is too damn hard

But you know in your heavy heart

It's too late to go back to the start

So come and breathe it in

The air's the medicine

It's only in the dark

You get to see the stars

If you wish your life for a better one

When you know full well it'll never come to you

Do you ever count the walls, the ones that just close you in

While you referee a fight with who you are and who you've been?

I know you want to keep your enemies near

But it's only your voice you'll hear at 4am

So come and breathe it in

The air's the medicine

It's only in the dark

You get to see the stars

If you wish your life for a better one

When you know full well it'll never come

It'll never come

It'll never come to you

You go round in circles

You go round in circles

You go round in circles

'Cause life is moving fast

So live like it's your last

The future's in the past

In just a moment

So drink and love and dance

Don't make too many plans

'Cause all we ever have

Is in this moment now

So come and breathe it in

The air's the medicine

It's only in the dark

You get to see the stars

If you wish your life for a better one

When you know full well it'll never come

It'll never come

It'll never come to you

You go round in circles

You go round in circles

You go round in circles

你是否曾想過要轉身離去？

搭乘紅眼班機南下，飛往墨西哥？

你是否渴望重新開始？

因為你真正的自我，並非你現在的樣子？

你是否曾聽人談論命中註定？

轉身離去，心中想著：唉，那不屬於我？

有時生活太過艱難

但你內心深處明白

一切都已太遲，無法回到原點

所以，來吧，深呼吸

空氣是良藥

只有在黑暗中

你才能看到星辰

如果你渴望更美好的生活

卻又明知它永遠不會到來

你是否曾經數過那些將你封閉的牆壁

當你與真實的自我和過去的自我爭鬥？

我知道你想把敵人留在身邊

但凌晨四點，你只能聽到自己的聲音

所以來吧，深呼吸

空氣是良藥

只有在黑暗中你才能看到星辰

如果你渴望更美好的生活

即使你明知它永遠不會到來

它永遠不會到來

它永遠不會降臨在你身上

你原地打轉

你原地打轉

你原地打轉

因為人生苦短

所以活得像生命中的最後一刻

未來已成過去

就在一瞬間

所以盡情暢飲、相愛、起舞

不要製定太多計劃

因為我們所擁有的一切

就在此刻

所以來吧，深呼吸

空氣是良藥

只有在黑暗中你才能看到星辰

如果你渴望更美好的生活

即使你明知它永遠不會到來

它永遠不會到來

它永遠不會降臨在你身上

你原地打轉循環往復

你一直在原地打轉

你一直在原地打轉
