Silent...silent...

〔一直好想在平安夜貼這一首歌。去年錯過了,今年不能錯過。聖誕節,快樂不快樂都是那麼千篇一律。Thom Yorke不對稱的眼睛讓他的臉有一種平靜的勻稱感,他的歌,也是如此。Freakily beautiful, total bizarre〕

Radiohead - No Surprises

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.

You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.

I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silent.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises (get me outta here),
no alarms and no surprises, please.

沒幾個人知道︰我的左右眼也是不對稱的。所以我自覺很明白這首歌。也不知是否因為這不對稱的主題,我弄了好久影片還是不能置中,還是向右邊溢出。像我這樣的一個形式主義者,這是很難忍受的。傾側的平安夜。
