《Somebody That I Used to Know》创作并录制于墨尔本Gotye父母的房子中,歌曲的歌词来源于Gotye过去五六年前真实的感情经历。对此, Gotye表示这不是一段令人厌恶的一段恋情,但它是错综复杂的,在这段时间内Gotye和他的女友彼此伤害,这让Gotye觉得继续这样下去倒不如他们分手,结束这一段错误的恋情。于是Gotye写下名为《Somebody That I Used to Know》的歌曲,并将其作为分手歌曲送给他的女友,希望未来的时间里,自己和女友都能够改变自己 。
Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end,Always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well you said that we would still be friends But I’ll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don’t even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough You didn’t have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don’t need that though Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I’d done And I don’t wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know…
But you didn’t have to cut me off Make out like it never happened And that we were nothing And I don’t even need your love But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough You didn’t have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records And then change your number I guess that I don’t need that though Now you’re just somebody that I used to know I used to know That I used to know Somebody…
译文
我时不时想起那些我们在一起的日子例如 你说你快乐得随时可以死去也不觉得遗憾我告诉自己 你就是我的挚爱但你的陪伴却让我倍感孤单但那就是爱 让我刻骨铭心难以忘怀你会沉溺于某种独特的伤痛比如其中一方听天由命 委曲求全,顺从到底所以当我们发现两个人在一起毫无意义你居然说我们还可以做朋友吧而我也承认自己很乐意结束这段感情可你没必要这样和我一刀两断好像我们之间什么都没有发生过我们之间从来什么也不是就算我不需要你的爱可你也不必与我形同陌路这未免也太绝情你不必如此屈从隐忍让朋友来帮你打包行李然后更换了电话号码我想我也不需要知道它们了现在的你只是我生命中曾经熟悉的一个过客而已偶尔想起 那些你把我骗得团团转的日子居然让我相信这一切的错误都在于我我不想再过那样的生活时刻揣摩你话语中的意思你说你可以释怀放手而我也不会让你一直纠缠于某个你曾经熟悉的过客(我)可你没必要这样和我一刀两断好像我们之间什么都没有发生过我们之间从来什么也不是就算我不需要你的爱可你也不必与我形同陌路这未免也太绝情你不必如此屈从隐忍让朋友来帮你打包行李然后更换了电话号码我想我也不需要知道它们了现在的你只是我生命中曾经熟悉的一个过客而已我曾经熟悉的那个我曾经熟悉的生命中的过客
