Love Is A Mess - Citizen Way【Lyrics】 (中譯歌詞-Citizen Way -愛是一種困境)－Yuyun's blog

受洗前，曾因為看了偶像劇和電影就入戲太深，深陷其中，深知戲劇與音樂會混淆人對現實之愛的觀感，人們開始傾向追逐偶像劇般的感情，以為那才是真實人生中該有的美好，無形中受到影響而不可自拔。
當了老師後，對於媒體影音有更多的感觸，總覺得主流文化因為有錢有勢所以不斷被製造與播送，而那些默默耕耘的人因為沒錢與無助，更需被重視的卻因此而銷聲.......
真正的愛是甚麼呢? 當我在思考這些問題時，這首歌就出現了。原來世俗的愛是窄化的，原來，愛最彰顯的時候是犧牲與奉獻，好比不顧生命為保護自己愛的人，好比在地震中為救親人以肉身去擋倒塌的鋼筋水泥的人，好比耶穌，為了我們而願意犧牲自己。這才是真正的、無私的愛。

愛是願意為所愛的人處在困境之中，不逃避也不退縮，這才是真愛吧......

Love Is A Mess - Citizen Way【Lyrics】 (中譯歌詞-Citizen Way -愛是一種困境)

If it were up to me
若要問我的意思
There'd be an easier road than cavalry
一定有比爭戰更容易走的路
If it were up to me
若要問我的意思
You would've escaped the suffering
你應該要從苦難中逃離
But You saved me
但你卻(選擇)救了我
Through what it would've seem like a tragedy
透過這看來像似悲劇的犧牲

I used to think that love should never have to bleed
我曾認為愛應當是永無傷害的
I used to think that life holds on about the dream
我曾認為生命就該緊握著夢想
But love is a mess and life is a death and you can't escape the cost
但愛其實是種困境生命則是死亡你永遠無法逃避這樣的代價
Yea love is a mess, the story of the cross
是的，愛是一種困境，十字架的故事

If it were up to me
若要問我的意思
Love would be more like the movies
愛應該更像那些電影裡才有的情節
If it were up to me
若要問我的意思
I would choose a story book ending
我比較喜歡故事書那般的結局
But I would never see
但我卻可能再也見不著
The beauty of reality
真實世界裡的美麗

If God became a man
若神變成了人
Heaven would kiss the earth
天堂將會親吻這片地土
The proof is in His hands
試驗都在他的掌控之中
The love is worth the hurt
愛是值得的傷害

You came down to meet my needs
你前來回應我的需要
And saw beauty in the mess of me
並看見這麼混亂的我身上也有美麗

Can you believe the pain is cheap?
你能相信痛苦是廉價的嗎?
It's more than just a tragedy
它的意義不僅只是一齣悲劇
Or lust is a death and love is a mess
情慾是死亡而愛是困境
The story of the cross
是這十字架的故事
The beauty of the cross
是這十字架的美麗
