英伦独立流行天后Marina于5月19日发布了单曲,且此曲收录在同名专辑Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land中。
Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land是MARINA出道以来对社会现状批判最辛辣最生猛的一张专辑。Purge the Poison中屡屡指名道姓地点出一些让美国尴尬的事件,让人直呼过瘾。除了歌词中宣泄的情感外,专辑的音乐性也一如既往的强。MARINA回归了Electra Heart时期的电气流行(Electro-pop)风格,让我们又想起了那个巅峰时期的马钻,洋溢着青春活力和性感。
Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land歌词:
Our ancestors had to fight to survive
Just so we could have a chance of a life
We're not here so we can blow it all
We could bear witness to the rise and the fall
Ancient dreams in a modern land
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Back to a time before I had form
Back to a time before I was born
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look inside myself
Recognize that I could be the eye the eye of the storm
I am not my body not my mind or my brain
Ha
Not my thoughts or feelings I am not my DNA
I am the observer I'm a witness of life
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
What's your purpose why were you put on Earth
You could be lost but you belong to the world
We're now living in a seminal age
The walls are being broken and we're ready for change
Ancient dreams in a modern land
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Back to a time before I had form
Back to a time before I was born
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look inside myself
Recognize that I could be the eye the eye of the storm
I am not my body not my mind or my brain
Ha
Not my thoughts or feelings I am not my DNA
I am the observer I'm a witness of life
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
From the heart of Malaysia
To the dark Himalayas
From the day you were born
You are not here to conform
You don't have to be like everybody else
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
I am here to take a look inside myself
Recognize that I could be the eye the eye of the storm
I am not my body not my mind or my brain
Ha
Not my thoughts or feelings I am not my DNA
I am the observer I'm a witness of life
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
