Wadiya Mera Daman

(摘自未完成的書)

‧‧‧‧‧‧如果是齣電影的話,車窗外的路景疊印著玻璃上反映的一張沾了塵與油垢的臉,它給城市永遠沒肯關的燈光一下一下劃成模糊,讓人錯覺畫面播放的速度有點不穩,時間一下凝滯一下加快,聲軌配上Lata Mangeshkar 的Wadiya Mera Daman,以過份煽情的唱腔訴願難圓的愛情與夢、或兩者的互為置換,叫一切卑微貧賤的細屑,放大到生命一樣的厚度‧‧‧‧‧‧那麼我就能夠看見自己,如像有誰在我所沒法攀到的高度看著自己於此凡塵之世一個人的兵荒馬亂,與一首過時的、迂腐於小節的流行曲所唱無異,卻突然因為那陌生那熟知,撫平與安慰,那不能撫平不能安慰的毀損、變形與後遺‧‧‧‧‧‧但我只聽見風壓在車窗縫竄過的聲音,沒有主觀鏡。城市與人臉沒有成為任何事情的隱喻。

所哭為何


假使說 擦亮一根火柴
就能燃燒悲哀的話
那麼 我這動輒落淚的
思念 又是什麼呢

to the birthday girl,

To Here Knows When

Kiss
Your fear
Your red button
Falls from my mouth

Slip
Your dress
Over your head
It’s been so long

Move
On top
Because that way
You touch her too

Turn
Your head
Come back again
To here knows when

Rehna Nahin Des Birana Hai

寒冷的夜晚聽著心痛的歌,猜想要是騎車聽著,怕會給公路帶到不知哪處,消失人間。想到這的當兒我不過是一動不動躺在自己的床上,有點迷失。

流行歌的想像(追隨愛慕的人,去一處沒有人知道自己名字的地方,重新開始一切)與搖籃曲式的旋律、迴返的Chord Progression 一不小心會把所有聽著就會唱的都弄成淚人 (有誰不曾被拋棄、深深的傷害?有誰不曾自己拒絕自己?)可是一邊用哭的一邊還是為了可以哭、被打動了而微笑──不跟誰,而是住在裡面已經很久很久的自己──因而歌詞中的「我們」所指不是一對分手情侶、不是他與她,而是我們每一個。

而且妳看到Cerys Matthews 穿著的模樣、彷彿她自己終於看到自己有多矜貴一樣,不用故作低調,只要站住就是閃亮,這一定是最好的時光年華──在1999 ,也是現在與將來,不是昨天;因為那個過去已經讓妳來到目前,妳不用回頭都知道───應當是放睛的季節、明明是終年放睛的地方遲不下雨早不下雨就剛剛下雨了,是為了沒有人會覺到妳一臉是雨水還是眼淚,是想哭還是笑。妳知道哭笑都不是壞事,都很好。

耳機聽的話那bassline 會像心跳的聲音。

Never meant you no harm
Never meant you no harm, yeh yeh
Never spun you no yarn
Never spun you no yarn, yeh yeh

And she’ll go yeh, where he goes, yeh
We all go where nobody knows our name

If I step out of line
I’ll step out of line, yeh yeh
Over land over sea
One step two to Ynys free

And she’ll go yeh, where he goes, yeh
We all go where nobody knows our name

And don’t cry if crying means you’re sorry
Whatever the case I always felt out of place
As a matter of fact I always felt like that around you
I’m disinclined to toe the line
Under your thumb where I’ve become unwanted

So pick your way down to the sea
Pick your way to the sea, yeh yeh
It’s not the tide you gotta watch it’s me
Not the tide you got it’s me, yeh yeh

And she’ll go yeh, where he goes, yeh
We all go where nobody knows our name

And she’ll go yeh, where he goes, yeh
We all go where nobody knows our name

Where nobody knows our name

The Boy with a Thorn in His Side


那天晚上,不知怎的哼起這首歌。(不知怎的:節奏旋律字句以何種曲折的迴路──認同和投射、情緒與牽引──嵌入記憶底層,後來又在某種時刻中成為僅可遙望、不可歸返的憑藉,一而再次,節奏旋律字句無法完成,變成零落‧‧‧‧‧‧‧)在許多人來說都是個很平凡的晚上,就是一天下來有沒法驅除的累,而生活那麼一點一點的再要從妳的身上拿走多一些,回饋給妳的不敷今夜明天。

我只是突然想起一首無關乎當下一切的歌,卻沒法放聲唱出正如我沒法訴說。其後不久,再一次,發見每個馬路交口就是一個海,此岸有不捨得的人兒和事情對面有些甚麼必須前往,它變成沒法橫渡,一下會淹溺人的,四邊的所有車燈朝妳亮著,交通燈下有倒數秒鐘警示,自行車電騎汽車人在搶道,燈是流火、電油的氣味和上百部引擎同時發動的噪聲幾可改變時間的動向‧‧‧‧‧‧‧可是回頭會讓一切變成不可觸及,回頭會讓我們看見我們如斯細小,而這是一座城市,嚴密、不可能,水與陸地恰恰倒置,一切流動、停頓與靠泊都失去了可辨認的特質,都像真、都像假,無論妳多麼使勁挪移記憶或想像、多麼虔誠的發願,現實紋風不動。

The boy with a thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A murderous desire for love

How can they look into my eyes
And still they don’t believe me
How can they hear me say those words
And still they don’t believe me

And if they don’t believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don’t believe me now
Will they ever will they ever believe me?

The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
A plundering desire for love

How can they see the love in our eyes
And still they don’t believe us
And after all this time
They don’t want to believe us

And if they don’t believe us now
Will they ever believe us?
And when you want to Live
How do you start?
Where do you go?
Who do you need to know?
