Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

Spend all your time waiting

花尽所有时间等待

For that second chance

那一次机会

For a break that would make it okay

一个能让我感觉好的休息

There's always one reason

总有一个理由

To feel not good enough

让我觉得不够好

And it's hard at the end of the day

到了时间结束时总是困难

I need some distraction

我需要一些分散注意力

Oh, beautiful release

哦，美丽的解脱

Memories seep from my veins

回忆从我血管中渗出

Let me be empty

让我变得空洞

And weightless and maybe

无重感，也许

I'll find some peace tonight

今晚我会找到一些平静

In the arms of an angel

在天使的怀抱中

Fly away from here

飞离这里

From this dark, cold hotel room

离开这阴暗寒冷的旅馆

And the endlessness that you fear

以及你害怕的无尽之境

You are pulled from the wreckage

你被从废墟中拉出

Of your silent reverie

你那沉默的遐想中

You're in the arms of an angel

你在天使的怀抱里

May you find some comfort here

愿你在这里找到安慰

...

...

So tired of the straight line

厌倦了直线的生活

And everywhere you turn

无论你转向何方

There's vultures and thieves at your back

都有人在你背后盘算

The storm keeps on twisting

风暴不断旋转

You keep on building the lie

你继续编造谎言

That you make up for all that you lack

试图弥补你所有的缺失

It don't make no difference

这样其实无所谓

Escaping one last time

再逃离一次

It's easier to believe

相信更容易一些

In this sweet madness

沉醉在这疯狂之中

Oh, this glorious sadness

哦，这辉煌的悲伤

That brings me to my knees

让我跪倒在地

In the arms of an angel

在天使的怀抱中

Fly away from here

飞离这里

From this dark, cold hotel room

离开这阴暗寒冷的旅馆

And the endlessness that you fear

以及你害怕的无尽之境

You are pulled from the wreckage

你被从废墟中拉出

Of your silent reverie

你那沉默的遐想中

You're in the arms of an angel

你在天使的怀抱里

May you find some comfort here

愿你在这里找到安慰

In the arms of an angel

在天使的怀抱中

Fly away from here

飞离这里

From this dark, cold hotel room

离开这阴暗寒冷的旅馆

And the endlessness that you fear

以及你害怕的无尽之境

You are pulled from the wreckage

你被从废墟中拉出

Of your silent reverie

你那沉默的遐想中

You're in the arms of an angel

你在天使的怀抱里

May you find some comfort here

愿你在这里找到安慰

You're in the arms of an angel

你在天使的怀抱里

May you find some comfort here

愿你在这里找到安慰

...
