Guts Over Fear

Eminem:
Feels like a close, it’s coming to
感觉即将走到终点
F*k am I gonna do?
我该要做些什么？
It's too late to start over
重头再来已是太迟
This is the only thing I, thing I know
这是我唯一熟知的事情
Verse1 :
Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is
有时候我觉得我曾做的一切
Find different ways to word the same, old song
是在找寻不同的方式写同样的老歌
Ever since I came along
自从我独自到来
From the day the song called ‘’Hi! My Name Is’’ dropped【1999年】
自从《My Name Is》这首歌横空出世
Started thinking my name was fault【指"Slim Shady"，他曾正面回答过更喜欢"Eminem"这个名字】
我就开始认为我的名字是个错误
Cause anytime things went wrong
因为每当有事情出错
I was the one who they would blame it on【早期Eminem歌由于过于个性颇具争议】
我就是那个他们会指责的人
The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Kahn【成吉思汗戎马一生，最远打到欧洲】
媒体将我刻画成当代的成吉思汗
Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg
我试图争辩，一切只不过是娱乐而已
Gangster? Nah, courageous balls
匪帮习气？不，我只是无所畏惧地胡说罢了
Had to change my style, they said I‘m way too soft
我不得不改变我的风格，他们说我的唱得太软了
And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws【Eminem第一张专辑《Infinite》被人诟病模仿Nas和AZ，从此他塑造了Slim Shady这个角色，风格向暴力转变】
于是我像AZ和Nas一样说唱，伸出了爪子
And the fangs been out since then【Eminem后来的风格继续变化，部分暴力弱化】
从那时起也亮出了毒牙
But up until the instant that I went against it【后来Eminem创作了很多他认为思想深度不够的作品】
但从某一时刻开始，我开始背道而驰
It was ingrained in me that I wouldn’t amount to a shit stain，I thought【这也使Eminem陷入了沉思，期间暂别乐坛，在后来的自传《这就是我》解释了原因】
我想，根深蒂固的想法使我必将一事无成
No wonder I had to unlearn everything that my brain was taught
难怪我记不得我脑海中被灌输的一切
Do I really belong in this game? I pondered【指自己引领起来的风气和现象】
我陷入了沉思，我真的属于这场游戏吗？
I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not?【Slim Shady时期制造了太多异议】
我只想做好自己的事情，我应该兴风作浪，制造争议吗？
So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on
这场拉锯战在我脑海中不断地进行着
And I don’t wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect the art form I was raised upon【分别指Dr.Dre和嘻哈文化】
我不想忘恩负义，也不愿对造就我的艺术不敬
But sometimes you gotta take a loss【2010年发行的《Recovery》专辑名即指Eminem从反思中获得重生】
但是有的时候你不得不承认失败
And have people rub it in your face before you can get made pissed off
人们会指责你的错误并激怒你
And keep pluggin’, it’s your only outlet
继续不断努力，这是你唯一的出路
And your only outfit, so you know they gonna talk about it【Only Outfit指Eminem在部分人眼中根深蒂固的形象，也指他无法改变的白人皮肤却在黑人说唱领域生存】
是你唯一的形象，所以你知道他们会谈论它
Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah
最好快速找到方法然后反击，赢得一切吧
Feel like I’ve already said this a kabillion eighty times
我感觉我已经说过它无数遍
How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme?
我能把同样的事用不同的押韵说多少遍呢？
What I really wanna say is, if there's anyone else who can relate to my story?
但是我真正想说的是，若是其他人对我的故事感同身受？
Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place you are, when I was afraid to
最好你能和我有同样的和感受，当我和你处于相同境地时，当我害怕…
Sia:
when I was afraid to
当我害怕
Afraid to make a single sound
害怕会发出一丁点声音
Afraid I will never find a way out,out, out
害怕永远不会找到出路
Afraid I'd never be found, I don't wanna go another round
害怕我从未被人知，我不想再重蹈覆辙了
An angry mans power will shut you up
这个愤怒的男人的力量会让你闭嘴
Trip wires fill this house with tip toed love【Trip Wires指遍布在房子周围保护房子而设立起的地线，指Em受到 困扰，不敢发出一点声音（写词），他对音乐的爱变得很小心】
地雷引线的存在让热爱只能分外小心
Run out of excuses with every word
再也无法以任何一个词来作为借口
So here I am and I will not run
所以我就在这里，绝不会逃避
Guts over fear, the time is near
勇气战胜恐惧，就在此时此刻
Guts over fear, I shed a tear
勇气战胜恐惧，尽管我也会哭泣
For all the times I let you push me around I let you keep me down
每一次我任你摆布，我因你而低落
Guts over fear, guts over fear
勇气战胜恐惧，勇气战胜恐惧
Eminem:
Feels like a close, it’s comin' to
感觉接近尾声，一切快要结束
F**k am I gonna do?
我该要做些什么?
It's too late to start over
重新开始已经太晚了
This is the only thing I, thing I know
这是我唯一，我唯一知道的事
Verse2:
It’s like I was there once, single parents【Single Parents即指Eminem和他同父异母的弟弟由妈妈一个人抚养大，也指Em自己和Kim的两次结婚两次离婚，尽管两人达成协议共同抚养三个孩子，但某种程度上他也属于单亲父亲】
单亲家庭我也感同身受
Hate your appearance,as you struggle to find your place in this world
你在世界上努力寻找归宿时，你也厌恶自己现在得过且过的模样
And the pain spawns all the anger on
这些痛苦的根源导致了愤怒
But it wasn’t until I put the pain in songs learned who to aim it on【Eminem早期愤世嫉俗，歌词中透露着不屑与高傲。但他达到了一定的高度后，他才知道这些歌带来的不能仅仅只是愤怒与怨恨】
但直到我将这些都放在了歌中，才知道我该为谁而唱
That I made a spark,started to spit harder shit【《Not Afraid》某种程度上属于这类作品】
这也使我我找到了动力，开始去创作富有挑战的作品
Learned how to harness it while the reins were off
学会了如何在脱缰之时控制自己的言辞
And there was a lot of bizarre shit,but the crazy part
而且还发生了很多疯狂的事，但更疯狂的是
was soon as I stopped saying "I gave a f**k"【早期Eminem歌词中充斥着各类粗话】
当我不再说“我**不在乎这一切”时
Haters started to appreciate my art【也有一定原因是Em走上了更高的台阶，收获了更多的关注量，被媒体捧得比原来高了】
那些厌恶我这么唱的人开始欣赏我的原来的作品
And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I caused【指Eminem认为自己已经到了更深的层面，而听他歌的人还在听他以前那些愤世嫉俗的歌曲】
评价着我以前创作时的愤恨，让我伤心不已
But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone?【Eminem也表达出了迷茫】
但当所有的愤怒平息之后我该怎么去做？
The lights go out in the trailer park【电影《8英里》中的镜头】
当拖车公园的灯火全部熄灭我又该去哪？
And the window is closin' and there's nowhere else I can go with flows and I'm frozen【和前面Eminem说到的对应，指Em也不知道该如何去迎合听众和媒体的口味】
窗户正在慢慢关闭，我也没有灵感去饶舌写词，似乎已经江郎才尽
Cause there's no more emotion for me to pull from
因为我无法再从生活中挖掘出更多的感情去表达
Just a bunch of playful songsthat I make for fun
只是做了一些我觉得有趣的或是开玩笑的歌
So to the break of dawn here【指在Recovery大获成功之后到本歌创作的时间】
所以破晓时分
I go recycling the same old song【Eminem认为自己并没有去调众口，而是跟随自己的内心以及自己的个性在作品中表达】
让我再写了同样的老歌
But I‘d rather make “Not Afraid 2” than make another mothaf**kin' "We Made You" uh【We Made You提到了许多人，Em想表达自己只是讽刺现象而非教唆他人言语攻击】
但我宁愿做一曲“Not Afraid 2”也不会再去做**的一首"We Made You"
And I don't wanna seem indulgent when I discuss my lows and my highs
所以我不想对自己宽容，当我谈论起我人生的潮起潮落
My demise and my up rise
我的衰落隐退和我的卷土重来
Pray to God
唯有向上帝祈祷
I just opened enough eyes later on【指看清自己歌曲中传递给听众的本质，并非自己所想要表达的】
后来我也睁大眼睛看清事实
Gave you the supplies and the tools to hopefully use that'll make you【指一些受到Eminem影响的一代青年】
希望能给你们精神物质和工具，希望它能让你变得坚强
strong enough to lift yourself up when you feel like I felt
让你在跟我身处于同一种感受时，足以借此鼓舞自己
Cause I can‘t explain to y’all how dang exhausted my legs felt【Eminem曾沉迷于安眠作用的处方药，在戒药过程中，Em的膝关节半月板曾撕裂】
因为我无法说清楚我的双腿是多么的无力
Just havin' to balance my dang self【指Em传递的负面情绪】
也许这只是为了去试图平衡那个邪恶的自己
When on eggshells I was made to walk【Walking On Eggshells类似中文的如履薄冰，此处指Em在微妙的处境中继续前行，并不畏艰险】
那些讨厌的弱者逼得我必须行走
But thank you ma,cause that gave me the, Strength to cause Shady-Mania【Mania指对某种事情上瘾发狂】
但是谢谢你，妈妈，给我力量去制造Shady-Mania
So when they empty that stadium
当人群涌入空旷的场地时
At least I made it out of that house and a found a place in this world when the day was done【Eminem希望自己的歌曲能够鼓舞听众】
我也至少做到了在有生之年能够给你们建设起来一栋庇护所
So this is for every kid who all’s they ever did was dreamt that one day they would just get accepted
所以这首歌送给每一个梦想有一天能得到认可的孩子
I represent him or her, anyone similar you are the reason that I made this song【不妨解释成Eminem从自身下手找到了灵感，于上文对应】
我代表他或她，或者任何一个相似的你们，你们就是我写这首歌的原因
Everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more
所有你害怕诉说的，不用再害怕诉说
From this day on forward, just let them a-holes talk
从今天起，就让那些混蛋去说
Take it with a grain of saltand eat their fucking faces off
别去在乎他们，直到将他们彻底击倒
The legend of the angry blonde lives on through you when I'm gone, and to think I was
当我有天不再辉煌，当我曾经的狂人形象也会通过你们流传下去，当我开始回想…
Sia:
When I was afraid to

害怕会发出一丁点声音
Afraid I will never find a way out,out, out
害怕永远不会找到出路
Afraid I'd never be found, I don't wanna go another round
害怕我从未被人知，我不想再重蹈覆辙了
An angry mans power will shut you up
这个愤怒的男人的力量会让你闭嘴
