Wallflowers - One Headlight

아버지 Bob Dylan의 후광에 가려 그 음악적 재능을 인정받지 못해 괴로워하던 Jacob Dylan은 이 한곡으로 1998년 그래미어워드 Best Rock Song과 최고 록보컬 그룹부문을 휩쓸며 전 세계 팬들에게 찬사를 받게된다. Julian Lennon 처럼 슈퍼스타 아버버지를 둔 2세 뮤지션들은 부모의 그늘 속에서 자신들만의 음악적 세계를 인정을 받기 위해 오랜시간 묵묵히 견뎌내야 한다. 그런 의미에서 Jacob은 자신의 그룹명을 화려하지 않은 'Wallflowers'로 지었으며 칠흙같이 어두운 터널을 전조등 하나'One Headlight' 만으로 달려야했다. 때로는 변해가는 자신을 보며 희망의 끈을 잡은 손목의 힘이 약해져가는 그 때 머리위로 떠오르는 태양을 보게된다. / hanihani101♧

 

 

 

 

So long ago, I don`t remember when

That`s when they say I lost my only friend

Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease

As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin` up at the funeral at dawn

The long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste

She always had a pretty face

So I wondered how she hung around this place

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

There`s got to be something better than

In the middle

But me & Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

She said it`s cold

It feels like Independence Day

And I can`t break away from this parade

But there`s got to be an opening

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed

And I seen the sun up ahead

At the county line bridge

Sayin` all there`s good and nothingness is dead

We`ll run until she`s out of breath

She ran until there`s nothin` left

She hit the endit`s just her window ledge

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

There`s got to be something better than

In the middle

But me & Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

간주중

Well this place is old

It feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine, but the engine doesn`t turn

Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I`d like to watch it burn

I`m so alone, and I feel just like somebody else

Man, I ain`t changed, but I know I ain`t the same

But somewhere here in between the city walls ofdyin dreams

I think of deathit must be killin`me

Hey, come on try a little

Nothing is forever

There`s got to be something better than

In the middle

But me & Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight
