I listened to this song when it came out 14 years ago. Today I'm an anesthesiologist and I try to help people sufferring through the worst parts of their life. I came back here to say thank you to the Antlers and many bands like them in the 2000s era who helped others develop an understanding of human suffering. Thanks a lot!
There's a literal meaning and a figurative meaning. I volunteer at my local hospital, where I met my girlfriend. She has leukemia, and it spread to her nervous system. I like to think The Antlers made this album for me. It's nice to feel like somebody understands what it's like to have your very own Sylvia. The one in the figurative meaning of the album.
I just love the pacing of this song, starts out calm and the explodes with anger, frustration and reproaches. I think this speak volumes about human relationships, since we, as humans, are plagued by insecurities, fears, frustrations. Her fear and anger of dying, his thinning patience, their frustration over a strained relationship headed to an inevitable ending - real life and relationships are pepper with them to a certain degree, making this an incredibly powerful song.
"No one's gonna fix it for us, no one can, you say that no one's gonna listen, no one understands and so there's no open doors there's no way to get through there's no other witnesses, just us two. There's two people living in one small room from the two half families tearing at you, two ways to tell the story no one worries, two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry, two people talking inside your brain, two people believing that I'm the one to blame, two different voices coming out of your mouth while I'm too cold to care, too sick to shout." 3 months ago I was put in a psych ward because I couldn't stop hurting myself. I've had problems with depression and hurting myself, and this part of the song always spoke to me. Every time I hurt myself, I'd ask why I did this to myself, because I was so scared they'd send me back to the psych ward. It felt like I had two people up inside my head. I know the song (and the album) are basically about the hospice metaphor for an abusive relationship, but when I was in the hospital, I'd write these song lyrics everywhere cause I felt like the abusive relationship was me in my head. This song will always be my favorite of the album.
I can never listen to this song without getting teary eyed. It reminds me of when I was dating someone who was in the hospital, she didn't have cancer, but she was recovering from a severe eating disorder. We had no contact with each for almost two months, I never cried so much for someone as I did for her, constantly worried about her health and well being. She eventually was released and I stood by her side everyday from then on.
This was my first The Antlers song, five years ago. They still take my breath away, each time I listen to them at night. They bring me a sense of lonely/peaceful bliss. It's so raw and real and I love this band so much
Her being bipolar suicidal and me her deranged savior. 3 years and a lot of drugs later and me and my ex's relationship still hurts. I feel Peter so genuinely throughout hospice. it gives me some hope that someone has been through the same pain
this band seriously has to be the ultimate music/poetry masterpiece. I'm at a loss for words every time I try to explain how TREMENDOUS this band is, really. They can't be real, it's just crazy
One of my best friends is dying, and I can't help but come back to this song every once in a while and come so close to tears... I know Hospice is a metaphor for a dying relationship rather than someone who is actually dying, but I can't help but take the lyrics literally and be reminded about...
Though the story of terminal cancer runs through this album and song, I first heard it while being in a relationship with a girl suffering severe depression and the parallels to this song were massive. Even having friends telling me “enough is enough, man”. Me trying again and again to help her through that depression but it always leading to her angry at me because she didn’t think I was doing enough. It was a soul crushing time in my life. The weight of this song is enormous even if you can’t apply it your own situation but when you can it’s like you’re drowning and someone throws you a bowling ball. It’ll be ten years this year since she and I were together. She’s now married. I’m still so scarred by the experience I can’t bring myself to let anyone into my life again. “Two people talking inside your brain. Two people believing that I’m the one to blame. Two different voices coming out of your mouth while I’m too cold to care, too sick to shout.”
I've been suffering through the most cynical depressive episode lately so excuse me while I break down on this album for the 1239th time this month. /: "two people living in one small room," my mind and myself.
She's now doing fine, she's fighting her eating disorder and I'm so proud of her. Even though we're not together anymore, it was a very strong experience we had. I think those two months helped me become more mature of a person than 19 years of living ever did. You don't really understand the struggles of people until you're thrown into a major life or death dilemna, one when all you could do is watch and wait.
Man. I had a nightmare a couple months back and this song started playing in it. It was one of the most heart breaking dreams I've ever had with me and my mom. I hadn't heard this song in years yet it played in my brain, specifically 3:20 onwards. Your music is awesome and contains so much emotion it stays with people forever and touches us in so many ways. Thank you, Antlers.
I remember finding this album buried in some pile of a used CD store, back when all their songs had maybe 1000 views. So glad to see them gaining popularity - The Antlers have always had a lot to express to the world.
you can hear the most genius in songs which are simply written but they still let your hairs stand up and with just a few notes in your ear, you can remember all the beautiful or sad memories in your life Genius!
has been on repeat for the past few days - i knew it'd be one of THOSE songs that stick wth you and somehow touch you, as soon as i heard the first few seconds
I honestly like it, the melody itself may be simple but through the use of various instrumentals at different times, changes in dynamics, and the singer's incredibly emotional voice, I can feel the sadness and a sense of hope.
I highly recommend you guys listen to this whole album. It's about a hospice worker falling in love with one of his patients, and it's absolutely brilliant.
When I first heard of these guys (last night), they had over a million views. I might wish I had heard of them years before, but I really need to find them at this point, right now, in my life. Right now I can't stop, don't want to stop, listening to them.
When the song first started I thought that it was just a pathetic seed but as it progressed I saw from it bloom into a flower. I think it's an awesome song.
I love this song. The last time I listened to this, I was a virgin, I didnt have a single cut on my arms or legs or ankles, I hadnt been hurt so bad, my heart wasnt broken, and I hadnt been in this much trouble ever. I miss those days. When I was still beautiful. Now I'm all torn up. This brings back all those feelings, the beautiful happy feelings I had. I love this song.
there are better songs on hospice but this one will always be my favorite. the chorus kills me everytime. especially the line "no one paid attention when you just stopped eating, 87 pounds and this all bears repeating."
It makes my day when I reach this part of youtube where finding new awesome songs is as simple as clicking in the related videos. The Antlers just made it into my "2012 Must listen" list.
I just fall in love. In 2009 I was over 16 or 17 years old. On this age I had lots of problems with society and my friends also with my parents. I was highly depressed and I felt so alone. Once I heared this song in WoW movie, it stunned me, this astonishing song was my least compassion. And it made me much more happier. I listened to this all day long and almost everywhere. I also thanked the author of that movie over 10 times
There is so much to this tune. I feel taken away by it. By the love of life.......this song takes me away. I love it. I had never heard this song or this band before or the band. But really...I sit here and listen to it quite by accident...and I am ...
Glad they put this on the Music thing for TH-cam, already thought it was a great song, I love their music, this song especially makes me cry. It hits home, everyyyy time.
I´m really impressed with this album. It´s a superb and extremely sensible work. I´ve been listening this album all this year and two months ago my father just died from a cancer that he didn´t have any knowledge. The same casualty that brings me to read Paul Auster´s Moon Palace the same month my father and grandma died. I´m really impressed by life´s casualities...
Yup, the album definitely needs to be listened to in its entirety to be fully appreciated. Also, see them live if you get the chance; they sound incredible.
I live in the USA as well, and I've got to say, this song makes me cry, constantly. If You know what it's about, it takes common sense. But I've gone through it first hand, so I guess I can say I've got a place in my heart for music like this.
antlersmusic.com/lyrics/hospice/ that is the album's lyrics, but written with additional information from the author's perspective. songs have alternate titles, and there is proper punctuation
Two (Or, I Would Have Saved Her If I Could) 둘 (또는, 내가 구할 수만 있었다면 그녈 구했을 거야) In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up, when a doctor came to tell me, "Enough is enough." 한밤 중에 앉아서 자고 있을 때, 의사가 와서 내게 말했지, "이걸로 족합니다." He brought me out into the hall (I could have sworn it was haunted), and told me something that I didn't know that I wanted to hear: 날 현관으로 데리고 나가더니 (맹세컨대 거긴 귀신 들렸을 거야) 내가 듣고 싶어하리라곤 알지 못했던 걸 말해줬어: That there was nothing that I could do to save you, the choir's gonna sing, and this thing is gonna kill you. 내가 그녈 위해 해줄 수 있는 건 아무 것도 없다고, 곧 장례 성가는 불러질 거고, 이 짓이 당신까지 죽일 거라고. Something in my throat made my next words shake, and something in the wires made the light-bulbs break. 목 안 뭔가가 내 다음 말들을 흔들었고, 전선의 뭔가가 전구들을 터뜨렸어. There was glass inside my feet and raining down from the ceiling, it opened up the scars that had just finished healing. 내 발엔 유리조각들이 가득했고 천장에선 비가 내렸어, 이제 막 아물기 시작하던 흉을 벌렸어. It tore apart the canyon running down your femur, (I thought that it was beautiful, it made me a believer.) 대퇴골 아래로 뻗어가던 계곡을 찢어발겼고, (난 그게 아름답다 생각했어, 날 독실하게 만들어줬거든.) And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room, but I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew. 그게 완전히 열릴 때쯤 난 네가 방에서 울부짖는 걸 들을 수 있었지만, 그 소리가 잠잠해질 때까지 현관에 숨어 있었어. When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the pain, you came to hating me again, and just sang your refrain: 내가 다시 나타나서 네 통증을 완화할 뭔가를 주려고 노력할 때, 넌 다시 날 싫어하기 시작했고, 후렴구처럼 불러대던 말을 반복했어: You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare. 넌 새 꿈을 가졌고, 그건 악몽에 가까웠어. You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair, then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying. 넌 그저 어린 애였고, 그들은 네 머리를 잘랐어, 그리곤 널 기계들 속에 밀어넣어서 거의 죽을 뻔했어. They should have listened, they thought that you were lying. 그들이 네 말을 들었어야 해, 네가 거짓말 하는 거라고만 생각했으니. Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up, built the gears in your head, now he greases them up. 아빠는 개새끼였어, 그놈이 널 좆되게 했어, 이런 사고방식을 머리에 박아놓고, 거기에 기름칠까지 하네. And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating. 그리고 네가 먹는 걸 그만뒀을 때 아무도 신경 쓰지 않았어. "Eighty-seven pounds!" and this all bears repeating. "85파운드!" (약 38.5kg) 그리고 이 모든 건 참고 다시 들을만 해. "Tell me when you think that we became so unhappy, wearing silver rings with nobody clapping. "넌 우리가 언제부터 불행해졌다고 생각해, 은반지들을 끼고 아무도 박수치지 않던 때일까. When we moved here together we were so disappointed, sleeping out of tune with our dreams disjointed. 우리가 함께 여기로 와서 살게 됐을 때 우린 너무 실망했어, 서로 다른 잠을 자며 연결되지 않는 꿈을 꾸고. It killed me to see you getting always rejected, but I didn't mind the things you threw, the phones I deflected. 네가 늘 거절당하는 걸 보는 게 날 말려죽였어, 하지만 난 내가 바꿔준 전화들을 네가 던져버리는 걸 신경 쓰지 않았어. I didn't mind you blaming me for your mistakes, I just held you in the door-frame through all of the earthquakes. 난 네 실수를 내 탓으로 돌리는 걸 신경 쓰지 않았어, 모든 지진들로부터 널 문틀에서부터 지켜줬어. But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night, and I would try to grab your ankles (what a pitiful sight.) 하지만 넌 매일 밤마다 그 가방에 네 옷을 쌌고, 난 네 발꿈치라도 잡으려 애걸했지 (얼마나 안쓰러운 광경인지.) But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you from stomping out that door, coming back like you always do. 하지만 일 년 이후엔, 난 네가 그렇게 문 밖으로 나서고 언제나처럼 돌아오는 걸 막지 않았어. Well no one's gonna fix it for us, no one can. 뭐, 아무도 우릴 위해 그런 걸 고쳐줄 순 없겠지, 아무도 못해. You say that 'No one's gonna listen, no one understands.' 넌 이렇게 말하지, '아무도 들어주지 않을 거야, 아무도 이해 못해.' So there's no open doors, and there's no way to get through, there's no other witnesses, just us two." 그래서 기회들도 없고, 나아갈 길도 없어, 봐줄 사람도 없어, 우리 둘 뿐이야." There's two people living in one small room, from your two half-families tearing at you, 한 작은 방에 사는 두 사람이 있어, 네 두 반-가족들이 널 갈라놓고 있는, two ways to tell the story (no one worries), two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry, (아무도 염려하지 않는) 이야기를 풀어낼 두 방식이 있고, 우리 손가락에 낀 황급히 어딜 가려 하는 두 은반지들이 있고, two people talking inside your brain, two people believing that I'm the one to blame, 네 뇌 안에서 말하는 두 사람이 있고, 다 내 탓이라고 믿는 두 사람이 있고, two different voices coming out of your mouth, while I'm too cold to care and too sick to shout. 네 입에서 나오는 두 다른 목소리들이 있고, 그걸 신경 쓰기엔 내가 너무 차갑고 화내기엔 너무 힘들어. You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare. 넌 새 꿈을 가졌고, 그건 악몽에 가까웠어. You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair, then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying. 넌 그저 어린 애였고, 그들은 네 머리를 잘랐어, 그리곤 널 기계들 속에 밀어넣어서 거의 죽을 뻔했어.

Love this song, and this album as a whole. Very depressing, but it tells a story and conveys a message, which most music today does not. I think this band is very underrated
OMG. The makers of this video sure do have talent to make everything and to put in an animated characters in front of a real background. Really impressed by the animation. Oh and good song. Love how you transition the song to go exactly with the video.
It's nice to see someone actually make comments that help illuminate the video. I couldn't make out much of the lyrics at first either; bustopboxer58, your transcription really opened this song for me.

how is she now..
When I was 19 I was diagnosed with cancer and the love of my life totally couldn't handle it. This song always makes me think of that.
hope you are good now bud take care
Are you ok
are you ok now?
How about now?!
@@snoozieboi yes! 8 years cancer free but have a partially paralyzed leg
Who is still listening this song after ten years ? Love this song
I do ;)
I never stop coming back to Hospice.
Me after ten years
2024
A personality quiz told me I should listen to this song at 2am so here I am
Eyyyy
Eyyy
This goes out to all the chipped cups
@@domi8619 :)
Yeah it's like that sometimes
got to love a perfectly made concept album
I just love the pacing of this song, starts out calm and the explodes with anger, frustration and reproaches.

I could agree more. This is the First song I heard by then as well. Seeing them live was awesome.
My grandfather died of brain cancer a few months after this album came out and whenever I come back to this album it makes me think of him
Her being bipolar suicidal and me her deranged savior. 3 years and a lot of drugs later and me and my ex's relationship still hurts. I feel Peter so genuinely throughout hospice. it gives me some hope that someone has been through the same pain
this band seriously has to be the ultimate music/poetry masterpiece. I'm at a loss for words every time I try to explain how TREMENDOUS this band is, really. They can't be real, it's just crazy
I always find myself coming back to this album. I’ll never stop.
Seeing a person come out of that kind of thing stronger than before is easily one of the most beautiful things anybody could ever witness.
One of my best friends is dying, and I can't help but come back to this song every once in a while and come so close to tears...
I know Hospice is a metaphor for a dying relationship rather than someone who is actually dying, but I can't help but take the lyrics literally and be reminded about...
I remember listening to this so much when I was 15
I'm so happy something like this has a million views ^_^
The views are from me coming back to this song 🤫

A Random Stranger says: yeah, this song though. Encapsulates so much about loss. Video sucks though. #helpful
Cody Tylerr Hey man, you doing any better?
Hey, i hope you've been able to fight through the hard days to find peace and satisfaction in your days.
She's now doing fine, she's fighting her eating disorder and I'm so proud of her. Even though we're not together anymore, it was a very strong experience we had. I think those two months helped me become more mature of a person than 19 years of living ever did.

Man. I had a nightmare a couple months back and this song started playing in it. It was one of the most heart breaking dreams I've ever had with me and my mom. I hadn't heard this song in years yet it played in my brain, specifically 3:20 onwards.
Your music is awesome and contains so much emotion it stays with people forever and touches us in so many ways. Thank you, Antlers.
Such a beautiful album full of pain and anguish and written so well.
I remember finding this album buried in some pile of a used CD store, back when all their songs had maybe 1000 views. So glad to see them gaining popularity - The Antlers have always had a lot to express to the world.
the antlers really hit deep on this album. Every song is so brutally, but beautifully sad.
you can hear the most genius in songs which are simply written but they still let your hairs stand up and with just a few notes in your ear, you can remember all the beautiful or sad memories in your life
Genius!
has been on repeat for the past few days - i knew it'd be one of THOSE songs that stick wth you and somehow touch you, as soon as i heard the first few seconds
On half cloudy days like these with this song, I could really just fall to tears. Such a good song..
This song leaves me speachless. It's beautiful and this video is perfect
I honestly like it, the melody itself may be simple but through the use of various instrumentals at different times, changes in dynamics, and the singer's incredibly emotional voice, I can feel the sadness and a sense of hope.
This song captures the chaos, resentment, and pain during the final stages of an incoming breakup so well.
So raw. I was taken aback.
these lyrics are really good. and when i say that i mean REALLY darn good.
I highly recommend you guys listen to this whole album. It's about a hospice worker falling in love with one of his patients, and it's absolutely brilliant.
When I first heard of these guys (last night), they had over a million views. I might wish I had heard of them years before, but I really need to find them at this point, right now, in my life. Right now I can't stop, don't want to stop, listening to them.
One of the greatest songs ever made.
I barely heard of The Antlers a week ago and I am already crazy about them.
i love this song its just so real. it makes me cry. to realize how truthful it is.
i just found out about this band a few days ago. Hospice is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard.
album of the year.
BEAUTIFUL! Absolutely sublime! The build up is exquisite! Love The Antlers!
When the song first started I thought that it was just a pathetic seed but as it progressed I saw from it bloom into a flower. I think it's an awesome song.
i'm always going to love this song until the day i die
speaks volumes
I'm no really good with words, I just wanted to express my love for the song and I'm glad others share it too.
the most beautiful song i've ever heard
I love this song. The last time I listened to this, I was a virgin, I didnt have a single cut on my arms or legs or ankles, I hadnt been hurt so bad, my heart wasnt broken, and I hadnt been in this much trouble ever. I miss those days. When I was still beautiful. Now I'm all torn up. This brings back all those feelings, the beautiful happy feelings I had. I love this song.
How does this still break my heart all these years later
there are better songs on hospice but this one will always be my favorite. the chorus kills me everytime.
especially the line "no one paid attention when you just stopped eating, 87 pounds and this all bears repeating."
I really don't have a favorite I like em all. They are just... MMmm
Tbh i don't think there are better songs on Hospice, maybe Wake :) but imo this is one of the best songs of the decade, maybe of all times
God, the lyrics are so good it hurts.
I just fell upon this band today. This is unbelievably beautiful.
I'm totally swooned.
this is still my favorite song of all time and i think it always will be
By this point of listening to the album, my depression always comes to a stop
the music video for this looks like what a mental break feels like and i find that fitting
It makes my day when I reach this part of youtube where finding new awesome songs is as simple as clicking in the related videos.
The Antlers just made it into my "2012 Must listen" list.
song/vid/album is f'n gorgeous/art/brilliant
I just fall in love. In 2009 I was over 16 or 17 years old. On this age I had lots of problems with society and my friends also with my parents. I was highly depressed and I felt so alone. Once I heared this song in WoW movie, it stunned me, this astonishing song was my least compassion. And it made me much more happier. I listened to this all day long and almost everywhere.

There is so much to this tune. I feel taken away by it. By the love of life.......this song takes me away. I love it. I had never heard this song or this band before or the band. But really...I sit here and listen to it quite by accident...and I am ...
It's getting me through studying for my exams, listened to it at least once every hour that i'm in the library, it's just so beautiful.
Glad they put this on the Music thing for TH-cam, already thought it was a great song, I love their music, this song especially makes me cry. It hits home, everyyyy time.
I´m really impressed with this album. It´s a superb and extremely sensible work. I´ve been listening this album all this year and two months ago my father just died from a cancer that he didn´t have any knowledge. The same casualty that brings me to read Paul Auster´s Moon Palace the same month my father and grandma died. I´m really impressed by life´s casualities...
my first time hearing this song ...
its freaking awesome!!!
Goddamn, The Antlers. Dude's a poet.
yeah most def best lyries in all there songs so deep
I liked it.
People need to let people not like things, and they need to let them say it.
Their distaste does not invalidate your opinion.
The lyrics in this are stunning. Such a good song.
This song is so amazing in HQ and on good headphones, really makes a difference.
this video seriously makes me so happy.
just came across this song today... after 3 music stores and a couple hours in traffic i can now say i own this wonderful cd
Beautiful tune from a beautiful album.
Yup, the album definitely needs to be listened to in its entirety to be fully appreciated. Also, see them live if you get the chance; they sound incredible.
the drums coming in on the chorus break my heart, idk how to explain it they just sound so sad
the lyrics in this song are sooo good its perfect
gonna go see these guys on saturday in denver. they are opening up for editors. love both bands cant wait!!
what are you talking about? this video is incredible. you can make something amazing without a big budget, man.
I live in the USA as well, and I've got to say, this song makes me cry, constantly. If You know what it's about, it takes common sense. But I've gone through it first hand, so I guess I can say I've got a place in my heart for music like this.
Not felt like this about an album since Funeral, its amazing/beautiful
Superb music and animation. Simple yet beautiful melody, a simple yet beautiful animation. Its Great!
this song makes me cry every time
Great work on the animating- the song is killer too. Pairing the animation against a live backdrop is a great effect- reminiscent of Gondry.
I've been listening to this song for like 5-6 years. I never read the lyrics. Now I did.
Now It just fucks me up every time i listen to it.

Very enjoyable to listen to. Pleasant mood.
I like this song and I'm gonna use it as one of my inspirational songs. It stimulates me when I listen to it...
so beautiful
so delicate
Two (Or, I Would Have Saved Her If I Could)
둘 (또는, 내가 구할 수만 있었다면 그녈 구했을 거야)
In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up, when a doctor came to tell me, "Enough is enough."
한밤 중에 앉아서 자고 있을 때, 의사가 와서 내게 말했지, "이걸로 족합니다."
He brought me out into the hall (I could have sworn it was haunted), and told me something that I didn't know that I wanted to hear:
날 현관으로 데리고 나가더니 (맹세컨대 거긴 귀신 들렸을 거야) 내가 듣고 싶어하리라곤 알지 못했던 걸 말해줬어:
That there was nothing that I could do to save you, the choir's gonna sing, and this thing is gonna kill you.
내가 그녈 위해 해줄 수 있는 건 아무 것도 없다고, 곧 장례 성가는 불러질 거고, 이 짓이 당신까지 죽일 거라고.
Something in my throat made my next words shake, and something in the wires made the light-bulbs break.
목 안 뭔가가 내 다음 말들을 흔들었고, 전선의 뭔가가 전구들을 터뜨렸어.
There was glass inside my feet and raining down from the ceiling, it opened up the scars that had just finished healing.
내 발엔 유리조각들이 가득했고 천장에선 비가 내렸어, 이제 막 아물기 시작하던 흉을 벌렸어.
It tore apart the canyon running down your femur, (I thought that it was beautiful, it made me a believer.)
대퇴골 아래로 뻗어가던 계곡을 찢어발겼고, (난 그게 아름답다 생각했어, 날 독실하게 만들어줬거든.)
And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room, but I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew.
그게 완전히 열릴 때쯤 난 네가 방에서 울부짖는 걸 들을 수 있었지만, 그 소리가 잠잠해질 때까지 현관에 숨어 있었어.
When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the pain, you came to hating me again, and just sang your refrain:
내가 다시 나타나서 네 통증을 완화할 뭔가를 주려고 노력할 때, 넌 다시 날 싫어하기 시작했고, 후렴구처럼 불러대던 말을 반복했어:
You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare.
넌 새 꿈을 가졌고, 그건 악몽에 가까웠어.
You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair, then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying.
넌 그저 어린 애였고, 그들은 네 머리를 잘랐어, 그리곤 널 기계들 속에 밀어넣어서 거의 죽을 뻔했어.
They should have listened, they thought that you were lying.
그들이 네 말을 들었어야 해, 네가 거짓말 하는 거라고만 생각했으니.
Daddy was an asshole, he fucked you up, built the gears in your head, now he greases them up.
아빠는 개새끼였어, 그놈이 널 좆되게 했어, 이런 사고방식을 머리에 박아놓고, 거기에 기름칠까지 하네.
And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating.
그리고 네가 먹는 걸 그만뒀을 때 아무도 신경 쓰지 않았어.
"Eighty-seven pounds!" and this all bears repeating.
"85파운드!" (약 38.5kg) 그리고 이 모든 건 참고 다시 들을만 해.
"Tell me when you think that we became so unhappy, wearing silver rings with nobody clapping.
"넌 우리가 언제부터 불행해졌다고 생각해, 은반지들을 끼고 아무도 박수치지 않던 때일까.
When we moved here together we were so disappointed, sleeping out of tune with our dreams disjointed.
우리가 함께 여기로 와서 살게 됐을 때 우린 너무 실망했어, 서로 다른 잠을 자며 연결되지 않는 꿈을 꾸고.
It killed me to see you getting always rejected, but I didn't mind the things you threw, the phones I deflected.
네가 늘 거절당하는 걸 보는 게 날 말려죽였어, 하지만 난 내가 바꿔준 전화들을 네가 던져버리는 걸 신경 쓰지 않았어.
I didn't mind you blaming me for your mistakes, I just held you in the door-frame through all of the earthquakes.
난 네 실수를 내 탓으로 돌리는 걸 신경 쓰지 않았어, 모든 지진들로부터 널 문틀에서부터 지켜줬어.
But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night, and I would try to grab your ankles (what a pitiful sight.)
하지만 넌 매일 밤마다 그 가방에 네 옷을 쌌고, 난 네 발꿈치라도 잡으려 애걸했지 (얼마나 안쓰러운 광경인지.)
But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you from stomping out that door, coming back like you always do.
하지만 일 년 이후엔, 난 네가 그렇게 문 밖으로 나서고 언제나처럼 돌아오는 걸 막지 않았어.
Well no one's gonna fix it for us, no one can.
뭐, 아무도 우릴 위해 그런 걸 고쳐줄 순 없겠지, 아무도 못해.
You say that 'No one's gonna listen, no one understands.'
넌 이렇게 말하지, '아무도 들어주지 않을 거야, 아무도 이해 못해.'
So there's no open doors, and there's no way to get through, there's no other witnesses, just us two."
그래서 기회들도 없고, 나아갈 길도 없어, 봐줄 사람도 없어, 우리 둘 뿐이야."
There's two people living in one small room, from your two half-families tearing at you,
한 작은 방에 사는 두 사람이 있어, 네 두 반-가족들이 널 갈라놓고 있는,
two ways to tell the story (no one worries), two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry,
(아무도 염려하지 않는) 이야기를 풀어낼 두 방식이 있고, 우리 손가락에 낀 황급히 어딜 가려 하는 두 은반지들이 있고,
two people talking inside your brain, two people believing that I'm the one to blame,
네 뇌 안에서 말하는 두 사람이 있고, 다 내 탓이라고 믿는 두 사람이 있고,
two different voices coming out of your mouth, while I'm too cold to care and too sick to shout.
네 입에서 나오는 두 다른 목소리들이 있고, 그걸 신경 쓰기엔 내가 너무 차갑고 화내기엔 너무 힘들어.
You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare.
넌 새 꿈을 가졌고, 그건 악몽에 가까웠어.
You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair, then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying.
넌 그저 어린 애였고, 그들은 네 머리를 잘랐어, 그리곤 널 기계들 속에 밀어넣어서 거의 죽을 뻔했어.
They should have listened, they thought that you were lying.

What a Beautiful song
Awesome song...awesome band...good job ;)
Love this song, and this album as a whole. Very depressing, but it tells a story and conveys a message, which most music today does not. I think this band is very underrated
Feels like ages since I last heard this one but came back to it cos of life ):
this has the greatest chorus.
Can't wait to see these at the Academy in Dublin!
wow, love the animation. this song takes my breath away
OMG. The makers of this video sure do have talent to make everything and to put in an animated characters in front of a real background. Really impressed by the animation. Oh and good song. Love how you transition the song to go exactly with the video.
this is incredible
It's nice to see someone actually make comments that help illuminate the video. I couldn't make out much of the lyrics at first either; bustopboxer58, your transcription really opened this song for me.
a little masterpiece, cant stop listening!
