Coldplay - Paradise 歌詞



少年Pi的奇幻漂流電影預告配樂。
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly

And dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

She'd dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise

And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say
"I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise


The wheel breaks the butterfly 
來源應是 Alexander Pope 的詩集
wiki解釋:
"Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" is a quotation
 sometimes misquoted with "on" in place of "upon" 
 from Alexander Pope's "Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot" of January 1735. 
The line is sometimes encountered and has become associated with 
more recent figures.

Let Sporus tremble –"What? that thing of silk,
Sporus, that mere white curd of ass's milk?
Satire or sense, alas! can Sporus feel?
Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?"
Yet let me flap this bug with gilded wings,
This painted child of dirt that stinks and stings;
Whose buzz the witty and the fair annoys,
Yet wit ne'er tastes, and beauty ne'er enjoys,

The bullets catch in her teeth 
似乎是咬緊牙關,很克難的意思。
