Depeche Mode--"Barrel of a Gun"

Dave因為吸毒而短暫死亡又復生、Alan的離團、團員間的芥蒂在Depeche Mode樂迷眼裡或對樂團本身都已經是老梗,但他們卻不得不一再重複回答同樣的問題,畢竟曾經有過那樣驚世駭俗的過去不是那麼容易忘記,也許藥物還能讓他們在音樂史上的地位更顯著一些。

現在的DM可以笑看過去(見"Suffer Well" MV),但在1997年的時候,傷口還新,這首"Barrel of a Gun"是血淋淋的紗布。

雖然Martin一再否認這首歌是為Dave而作,也許在他醉醺醺的時候,也會體悟相似的絕望。



你指的是這淫猥的恐懼嗎?
它托著疲累的腳步
渴望睡眠
卻一直無法如願

這扭曲又受虐的混亂一片
這滿床的罪愆
亟欲休息
卻已麻木

你期待什麼?
你到底想要什麼?
不論你為我計畫了什麼
我都不是你要的人

邪惡的慾念
每晚造訪我
無法滿足
無法視而不見

難以忍受的痛楚
腦中騷動的念頭
烙下了該隱的標記
在我內心深處

我該怎麼辦?
我的一切所作所為
都讓我更加確信
我不是你要的人
不論我做了什麼
我只能瞪視著槍管
不論我做了什麼...

你需要從我身上得到什麼?
你玩夠了沒有?
我從未答應
要當你神聖的象徵

不論我做了什麼
我只能瞪視著槍管
不論我做了什麼
我只能瞪視著槍管
Do you mean this horny creep
Set upon weary feet
Who looks in need of sleep
That doesn't come
This twisted, tortured mess
This bed of sinfulness
Who's longing for some rest
And feeling numb

What do you expect to be?
What is it you want?
Whatever you've planned for me
I'm not the one

A vicious appetite
It visits me each night
And won't be satisfied
Won't be denied
An unbearable pain
A beating in my brain
That leaves the mark of cain
Right here inside

What am I supposed to do?
When everything that I've done
Is leading me to conclude
I'm not the one

Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (whatever, whatever)

Is there something you need from me?
Are you having your fun?
I never agreed to be
Your Holy One

Whatever I've done
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (whatever, whatever)
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
Whatever I've done (whatever, forever)
I've been staring down the barrel of a gun

MV一開始我有點嚇到,黑暗,而且他好幾次往前傾,我好怕被他吃掉。歌詞第一句就超猛的,不過我滿喜歡這種類型的音樂耶。(←矛盾型品味XD)

這首歌曾經是我最討厭的DM歌曲之一,不騙妳,大概因為太強烈了,加上MV有點嚇人,我下意識的會排斥視覺性的東西。

不過後來越聽越愛,尤其是第二段的地方,Martin的合聲跟著Dave每一句詞的最後一個字--appeTITE! nIGHT! satisFIED! PAIN! brAIN! CAIN! 每次都像是什麼東西重重的摔在地上一樣。

Live版我更愛

barrel of a gun is written for dave, especially he died of heroin and cocaine speedball for three seconds and also he done the whole full pulp fiction treatment. the mtv is very elegant . it divided into two pieces, one in black and white, one in colour. maybe he is the strongest man in the universe. he let someone loves him, he doesnt love the other. the mtv is good, i like martin put his hand on david shoulder, and martin in a troubled state,the nurses says i think we lost him
