    Lately I’ve been hard to reach
    I’ve been too long on my own
    Everyone has a private world
    Where they can be alone
    Are you calling me are you trying to get through
    Are you reaching out for me and I’m reaching out for you
    Everybody has a private world 每个人都有自己的天空
    private adj.私有的,私人的;秘密的;内心的
    I’ve always kept my private and professional life separate我总是将私生活和工作分开。
    I starting to feel distant again
    So I decided just to beat this pain
    Up and tried to make an attempt to vent
    But I just can’t admit
    Or come to grips with the fact that
    I may be done with rap
    I need a new outlet
    I know some shits so hard to swallow
    But I just can’t sit back and wallow
    In my own sorrow
    But I know one fact
    I’ll be one tough act to follow
    One tough act to follow
    Copy
    Copy
    I took my bruises, took my lumps ,Fell down and I got right back up 身上带着淤青和肿块 摔倒了也立刻爬起来
    Just to see what I’d be like to
    Feel your pain you feel mine
    Go inside each other’s mind
    Just to see what we find
    Looking shit through each other’s eyes
    But don’t let ’em say you ain’t beautiful OoOo
    They can all get fucked Just stay true to you sOoOoo
    Don’t let ’em say you ain’t beautiful OoOo
    They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you
    在2005年8月的时候,埃米纳姆自爆患有睡眠性药物依赖综合症。他不想就此毁了自己的一生,于是努力戒毒。
    歌曲的第一段主歌是他在康复中心的床边写的,由于受到毒瘾的影响,埃米纳姆不能专注地完成其他部分;于是在康复之后,埃米纳姆才能够将这首歌曲完善。
    I don’t need fucking man servin’
    Tryin to follow me around and wipe my ass
    我们每个人的一生都会摔无数个跟头,但别忘了立刻爬起来,无所畏惧的往前走。
    Unfortunately I am but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
    So why don’t you all sit down
    Listen to the tale I’m about to tell
    Hell we don’t have to trade our shoes
    And you don’t have to walk no thousand miles
    I know some shits so hard to swallow 并且我懂有些事情无法吞的下喉
    swallow vt.& vi.吞,咽;忍耐,忍受
    Nancy swallowed hard and shook her head. 南希用力咽了口口水,摇了摇头
    But don’t let ’em say you ain’t beautiful OoOo
    They can all get fucked Just stay true to you sOoOoo
    I think I’m starting to lose my sense of humor 我觉得我的幽默感已经开始离我远去
    Everything is so tense and gloom 所有事情绷得那么紧看起来那么忧郁
    humor n.幽默,心情,诙谐 vt.迎合,牵就,顺应I think humor is a great lubricant for life. 我认为幽默是人生的上好润滑剂。
    tense adj.拉紧的;肌肉绷紧的;There was a tense silence. 有一阵令人局促不安的沉默。
    But take this situation in which I’m placed in
    And get up and get my own
    gloom n.忧郁;昏暗,阴暗Don’t let defeat fill you with gloom. 别让失败使你灰心丧气。
    I dreamed of being that cool kid
    Even if it meant acting stupid

    even if 哪怕;虽然;即使,纵然;即若You have to let us struggle for ourselves, even if we must die in the process. 你得让我们为自己拼搏,哪怕我们会在这个过程中死去。
    I guess we would have to walk a mile
    In each other’s shoes, at least
    What size you where?
    I wear tens
    Let’s see if you can fit your feet
    Walk my shoes, just to see
    What it’s like, to be me
    All be you, let’s trade shoes
    Just to see what I’d be like to
    Feel your pain, you feel mine
    Go inside each other’s mind
    从“痞子阿姆”到“姆爷”,埃米纳姆其实没有太大的变化。埃米纳姆的韵脚依然无懈可击,流淌的说唱就像四季的河流一样多变华丽,天赋让他睥睨群雄霸气不减。
    更重要的是,当其他从贫民窟走出来的说唱明星开始炫耀自己有多少车子、票子、马子,或者拥有多国护照,谁都奈何我不得的时候。
    中年埃米纳姆却低头审视自己的灵魂,并直面了自己是一个并不怎么崇高的恶棍的现实。当我们从另外一些作品中拾起这些闪亮的人格魅力,我们又会珍惜感动他作为普通人的一面。
    Everyone has a private world
    Where they can be alone... sOoOoo
    总之,埃米纳姆的歌曲带给了我们许多的正能量,让我们可以奋发前行。
