Baptized in Fear

2026.07.24

Music

I fell asleep in the tub, I was met with paralysis

浴中阖眼,醒来时四肢皆已交付僵滞。

My foot hit the faucet, water started flowing in

脚踝不意碰开水阀,温水无声漫上来。

Couldn’t scream for help, I just slowly felt the pressure hit

呼救噎在喉底,水压一寸寸咬进胸腔。

Moving one toe was the only form of motion left

全身意志,仅余一根脚趾的微颤。

Can’t breathe for air, can’t breathe

气若游丝,不进不出。

Trying to remember everything that my preacher said

拼命在脑中翻找牧师说过的每个字。

Tryna right my wrongs, my regrets filling up my head

欲正前非,悔恨却先一步灌满了颅腔。

All the times I dodged death, this can’t be the way it ends, no

躲了那么多次死神——不该在这盆水里收场。

Figure in the corner I can’t quite see (Quite see)

角落里立着一个人形,看不真切。

I just know the shadow’s staring at me

只感觉到那团暗,正定定凝视。

It gets closer, it gets closer, it gets closer now

逼近了,逼近了,已到跟前。

Figure in the corner laughing at me (At me)

墙角那影子,在笑我。

Water fill my lungs, vision blurry

水灌进肺叶,视线涣散。

Heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower

心跳缓了,缓了,将歇未歇。

Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on

有声音说:你该活下去。

Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on

有声音说:你还要走下去。

Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on

那些声音反复低语——活下去。

Voices’ll tell me that I should carry on

它们说:别停,别停。

I’ve been baptized in fear, my dear

吾爱,这恐惧,便是我的洗礼。

I’ve been the chief of sin

万罪之首,是我。

Washing my soul within

趁此死生之间,向内浣魂。

I’ve been baptized in fear, my dear

亲爱的,我以惧为水,浸入重生。

Like Paul, I’m the chief of sin

如使徒保罗——我乃罪魁。

Washing my soul within, oh

一寸寸涤荡,自内而外。

Figure in the corner I can’t quite see (Quite see)

角落里立着一个人形,看不真切。

I just know the shadow’s staring at me

只感觉到那团暗,正定定凝视。

It gets closer, it gets closer, it gets closer now

逼近了,逼近了,已到跟前。

Figure in the corner laughing at me (At me)

墙角那影子,在笑我。

Water fill my lungs, vision blurry

水灌进肺叶,视线涣散。

Heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower, heartbeat slower

心跳缓了,缓了,将歇未歇。
