💡 --- ARTIST'S STATEMENT / 創作理念 ---

Originally, this song was conceived as a quiet shadow to 'February Rainbow,' using the same music to create a sense of irony. But as the lyrics took shape, they demanded their own voice, their own pulse. This new version is not a quiet reflection; it is a sermon, a final judgment delivered on a relentless groove. It is the album’s necessary, uncomfortable postscript, stripping away all pretense and leaving only a final, honest look in the mirror.

最初, 這首歌被構思為'February Rainbow'的一個安靜倒影, 運用相同的音樂去營造一種諷刺感. 但隨著歌詞的成形, 它們要求擁有自己的聲音, 自己的脈動. 這個新版本並非一次安靜的反思, 它是一場佈道, 一次在無情律動上發表的最終審判. 這是專輯必要的, 令人不安的後記, 剝去所有偽裝, 只留下最後一次誠實地對鏡自省.

滴 滴 答 答, 滴 滴 答 答,

滴 滴 答 答, 滴 滴 答 答.

古董, 古董, 古董.

Thou call’st thyself antique, yet act’st a clown,

With painted cheek and jest too oft profane.

Thou seek’st thy truth beneath a silken gown,

Yet leav’st behind but shame, remorse, and stain.

Thy lips confess, “I break for I am free,”

But freedom breaketh not what must be just.

For queer thou art, yet still a soul must be

In honor robed, not cloaked in wine and lust.

Didst thou not know? A name is not a shield.

Nor rainbow hues erase a dark’ning mark.

Thy voice, though loud, shall quiet when revealed,

The harm thou sow’st beneath thy jester’s spark.

An antique thou art — aye, time-worn and thick,

But more than age, thou art but an... unfortunate man.

你自稱古董, 行為卻像小丑,

塗脂抹粉, 言語輕浮而褻瀆.

你在絲綢長袍下尋求你的真理,

卻只留下羞恥, 悔恨與污點.

你的雙唇辯稱, “我打破規則因我自由”,

但自由不應破壞那必須存在的正義.

你雖為酷兒, 靈魂仍需

披上榮耀之袍, 而非藏於酒色與縱欲之中.

你難道不知? 名字並非盾牌.

彩虹的光譜也無法抹去一個漸暗的印記.

你的聲音雖高, 但在真相揭示時終將沉寂,

那便是你在小丑的火花下播下的傷害.

你確是件古董—是的, 飽經歲月而遲鈍,

但除了歲月, 你不過是個... 不幸之人.

古董, 古董, 古董.

The night hath heard thy laughter, fierce and wide,

But day recall’d thy folly more than cheer.

What virtue breaks the rule with truth inside,

And what but vice doth mock what men hold dear?

To kiss a man, no sin — to lie is so.

To dance in silk, no fault — but scars thou leave.

Thy queerness ne’er condemn’d thee — nay, but woe

Is when thy mask refuseth to believe.

For right and wrong doth not wear gender's thread,

But beat within the chests of queens and kings.

If thou dost harm, then harm shall thou beget,

No matter what proud song thy chorus sings.

So call thee not divine for being bent —

For heaven cares not whom, but what is meant.

黑夜曾聽見你那激烈而張狂的笑聲,

但白日銘記的, 是你的愚行多於歡愉.

何種美德能懷揣真理去打破規則,

而除了惡行, 又有何物會嘲弄世人所珍視的一切?

親吻一個男人, 無罪—但撒謊是.

身著絲綢起舞, 無錯—但你留下了傷疤.

你的酷兒身份從未定你的罪—不, 但真正的悲哀

是當你的面具自身都拒絕相信之時.

因為對與錯, 不穿性別的絲線,

而是在女王與國王的胸膛中跳動.

你若施加傷害, 傷害必將回報於你,

無論你的合唱班唱出多麼驕傲的歌曲.

所以不要因你的“彎曲”而自詡神聖—

因為天堂不在乎是誰, 只在乎其意為何.

古董, 古董, 古董.

Yet I, too, break — and call myself antique.

In cracked reflection, I do find thee still.

For I have sinned, and fallen, and been weak,

And sought in fame a balm for deeper ill.

But difference is: I know my errant hand.

I seek no crown from pain that I have caused.

I weep not ‘cause they fail’d to understand,

But for the times I should have bravely paused.

O Pride, thou monster sweet! Thou mask of truth!

Thou tell’st the queer that chaos is their rite.

But chaos lies — and honor needs no proof,

Save conscience clean, and heart that bears the night.

Antique I am — but soul I shall not sell.

For not all glitter'd sins are made to dwell.

然而, 我也同樣崩壞—也稱自己為古董.

在破碎的倒影中, 我依然能找到你的影子.

因為我曾犯下罪孽, 曾墮落, 也曾軟弱,

也曾在名聲中為更深的病痛尋求慰藉.

但不同的是, 我知曉我犯錯的雙手.

我不會從我造成的痛苦中尋求冠冕.

我哭泣, 不是因為他們無法理解,

而是為那些我本應勇敢停下的時刻.

哦, 驕傲, 你這甜蜜的怪物! 你這真理的面具!

你告訴酷兒們, 混亂是他們的權利.

但混亂是謊言—而榮耀無需證明,

除了乾淨的良知, 和一顆能承受黑夜的心.

我確是古董—但我的靈魂, 我不會出賣.

因為並非所有閃光的罪惡都注定長存.
