從Sugar Ray到No Doubt,從Coldplay再到Radiohead,high到down,都算是一個adventure,要親切有Sugar Ray,但未及No Doubt放縱得夠甜,要感動亦有極之親民既Coldplay,"Yellow"帶黎既暖,"The Scientist"帶黎既眼淚,都黎得極之直接舒服,但Radiohead帶黎既,除左覆雜既情緒,仲有情緒既源頭 --- 思想裡既問號。
Radiohead既歌往往需要不少精神消化,但消化過後永遠覺得其他聲音一一無法媲美,他們所帶來的是那麼接近人心最底的感覺,令人想起Queen那"Bohemian Rhapsody"的"Paranoid Android",充滿震撼與患得患失,"Creep"的嚴重鬱結,"Faithless The Wonderboy"的可愛可憐,還有,幽美得悲哀的"Fake Plastic Tree"。
主腦Thom Yorke早我們幾年已經意識到文明帶來的分裂,先有此歌,再有"OK Computer"&"Kid A"兩張albums,顯然易見,他對人與人之間的疏離是很反感的。
Her green plastic watering
can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
( 她,用綠色的膠樽,灌溉她那棵沒有生命的植物,在這個充斥假象,猶如塑膠一樣的地球上。 )
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
( 從一個沒有感情的某人手上買回來,在一個充滿夢話的城市裡,而這個地方,日與夜,都不過在逃避自己。)
It wears her out, it wears
her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
( 這些,那些,把那個原本有血有肉的她,腐蝕了。。。)
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
( 這個她,跟著一個破產的他,像已無能一樣的男人,只懂崩潰。)
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
( 他跑去為上個年代的女人做手術,但地心吸力,永遠毫不費神便能打敗他。)
It wears her out, it wears
her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
( 這些她理解的,不理解的,都一天一天把她腐蝕了。。。)
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
( 她 ... 看起來真的很像真實的,活得也像是真的,但 ... 假若如此 ... 我對她,都不過是一份對假象的鐘情吧 ... )
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
( 但我 ... 我依稀覺得 ... 如果我衝得破自己,有些幸福,還是在等待我的 ... )
It wears me out, it wears
me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
( 但她 ... 已不再是 ... 那個值得愛的她 ...
而我 ... 也在一片寂寞中 ... 失去了靈魂
)
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted all the time
( 如果我是你一開始想要的那一個,就好了,至少,我可以陪著你,一起被這世界腐蝕。)
"Fake Plastic"這二詞,是用來諷刺"Tree"的...
本來自然美麗的簡單愛,在避無可避的情景下,被機械化、覆雜化、虛擬化,你、我、他,都帶著疑慮去抓緊我們所饑渴的,愛...流於一個吻帶來的關係,這樣的世界,即使我衝得破,也一樣...孤獨得欲哭無淚。
"Fake Plastic Tree"收錄於Radiohead第二張大碟"The Bends"之中
