소설의 숲으로 여섯 발자국(중지)

트랜스포머 엔딩 타이틀이죠.


원곡 :




In this farewell
There is no blood there is no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away what I've done
I'll face myself to cross out
What I've become, erase myself
And let go of what I've done


Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away what I've done
I'll face myself to cross out
What I've become, erase myself
And let go of what I've done


For what I've done
I'll start again
And whatever thing may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself to cross out
What I've become, erase myself
And let go of what I've done

What I've done
Forgiving what I've done

Transport
Motorways and tram lines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people
Clinging onto bottles
And when it comes its so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed
Juices flowing
Wings twitch legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

You know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapses
Floating
Bouncing back and
One day I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around


라디오헤드(RADIOHEAD) "Let Down"은 라디오헤드의 OK Computer앨범의 첫 싱글곡으로 발표하려 했으나 나중에 "Paranoid Android"로 대체되고, 싱글로도 발표되지 않는데, 그 이유는 밴드원들이 뮤직비디오가 맘에 들지않아서 그랬답니다. 돈만 낭비한 셈이죠. 현대사회의 이질감과 허무감을 묘사한 곡으로 앨범중 가장 멜랑콜리한 곡으로 평가됩니다. 또한 라디오헤드의 명곡들중 하나로 뽑히는곡입니다. 톰요크가 펍에서 술을 마시면서 주변사람들의 술마시는 모습에 비친 허무과 실망감에서 영감을 받아 만든 곡이며, 코러스 부분의 가사 "Let Down and Hanging Around, Crushed Like a Bug in the Ground"는 프란츠 카프카(Franz Kafka)의 소설 <변신(Metamorphosis)>에서 발췌한것입니다. 스튜디오 녹음상태를 라이브에서 그대로 표현하기 가장 까다로운 곡이라서 공연에서는 잘 부르지 않는 곡이며, 따라서 팬들이 공연에서 가장 듣고 싶어하는 곡이기도 합니다.
