Angel
She didn't believe in angels until she fell in love with one.
City of the Angel还是在出国前看的,故事细节已经被时间的流水冲刷得模糊不清,只是记得那个微笑起来如天使的凡间女人,那个为了和她共度一生而甘愿抛弃永生的天使,和那首让人心碎的插曲“Angel”。
前几天偶然翻出了这首歌,寥落凄清的钢琴伴奏,和Sarah McLachlan飘渺迷离的歌声再次俘获了我的心,仿佛坐在薄雾弥漫的海滩上静静地看着旷远的海,暗色的潮水无止尽地翻涌,古老而苍凉。
天使历经磨难之后终于成为凡人,然而他深爱的女人的天使却在命运的安排下死去……完美的爱情,终归是不存在的。
Angel
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
