Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance

用全部的时间等待第二次机会

For the break that would make it OK

因为逃避能使一切更好

There's always some reason to feel not good enough

总是有理由说感觉不够好

And it's hard at the end of the day

在一日将尽之时觉得难过

I need some distraction or a beautiful release

我需要散散心，或是一个美丽的解脱

Memories seep from my veins

回忆自我的血管渗出

Let me be empty and weightless and maybe

让我体内空无一物，了无牵挂

I'll find some peace tonight

也许今晚我可以得到一些平静

In the arms of the Angel fly away from here

在天使的怀里，飞离此地

From this dark, cold hotel room

远离黑暗、阴冷的旅馆房间

and the endlessness that you feel

和你无穷的惧怕

You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie

你在无声的幻梦残骸中被拉起

You are in the arms of the Angel

在天使的怀里

may you find some comfort here

愿你能得到安慰

So tired of the straight line

厌倦了走直线

and everywhere you turn

你转弯的每一个地方

There're vultures and thieves at your back

总有兀鹰和小偷跟在身后

The storm keeps on twisting

暴风雨仍肆虐不止

you keep on building the lies

你仍在建构谎言

That make up for all that you lack

以弥补你所欠缺的

It don't make no difference

但那于事无补

escape one last time

再逃避一次

It's easier to believe

会使人更容易相信

In this sweet madness

在这甜蜜的疯狂

oh this glorious sadness

光荣的忧伤里

That brings me to my knees

使我颔首屈膝

In the arms of the Angel fly away from here

在天使的怀里，飞离此地

From this dark, cold hotel room

远离黑暗、阴冷的旅馆房间

and the endlessness that you feel

和你无穷的惧怕

You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie

你在无声的幻梦残骸中被拉起

You are in the arms of the Angel

在天使的怀里

May you find some comfort here

愿你能得到安慰

In the arms of the Angel

在天使的怀里

May you find some comfort here

愿你能得到安慰

　　歌词充满了对人生的反思和对人情世故的厌倦，渴望舒缓和平静。受《City of Angels》电影影响，身边有不少朋友以为这是一首情歌，其实不是，这首歌至情至性至黑至颓。往颓里说，是抑郁症患者企图通过自杀或吸毒获得暂时的舒缓甚或永恒的平静。往好里说，这是站在更高的角度对众人的悲悯，因为黑暗，光明、温暖才更加可贵。清澈的钢琴加上空灵女声，在 Sarah McLachlan 原唱面前，任何翻唱都是徒然。
