Hard To Be Human – Anson Seabra
Lyrics by:Anson Long-seabra/Alex Borel/Colin Foote/salem ilese
Composed by:Anson Long-seabra/Alex Borel/Colin Foote/salem ilese
For a second
I almost forgot all the wreckage
This hole full of hurt where my chest is
I felt like a person again
For a minute
I almost got lost in existence
The birds sang their song and I listened
There wasn’t a thought in my head
But it never lasts
I just fall right back
It’s hard to be human
Don’t know what I’m doing half the time
Cause I’m only a man with a pen in his hand
And a couple of stories to write
It’s hard to be human
Wish I had a blueprint for life
Cause I’m only a dot on this old spinning rock
I guess I’m just along for the ride
It’s hard to be human
It’s hard to be human sometimes
Someone stop me
From pouring my fourth cup of coffee
I’m shaking my heart’s going off beat
But at least I can get out of bed
Someone tell me
That six hours of screen time is healthy
That it’s okay as long as it helps me
Forget that the world’s gonna end
But it never lasts
I just fall right back
It’s hard to be human
Don’t know what I’m doing half the time
Cause I’m only a man with a pen in his hand
And a couple of stories to write
It’s hard to be human
Wish I had a blueprint for life
Cause I’m only a dot on this old spinning rock
I guess I’m just along for the ride
It’s hard to be human
It’s hard to be human sometimes

《Hard To Be Human》是美国唱作人Anson Seabra创作并演唱的一首极具疗愈力量的歌曲。这首歌诞生于Anson人生的低谷期,作为一位以温暖治愈嗓音著称的音乐人,他擅长用温柔舒缓的旋律包裹住内心深处最脆弱的情绪。这首歌不仅是他个人情感的真实流露,也成为了无数听众在面对生活压力时寻求慰藉的心灵港湾。
在表达含义上,这首歌深刻地探讨了在充满不确定性的世界中,生而为人的挣扎与困惑。歌词以极其细腻的笔触,描绘了现代人普遍面临的内心痛苦、焦虑与迷茫。主歌部分,歌手捕捉到了那些稍纵即逝的平静时刻——“转瞬之间,我差点就忘记了过往残存的痕迹”、“鸟儿尽情歌唱,我侧耳聆听着,脑海一片空白”。然而,这种短暂的喘息很快就会被现实的洪流冲垮,正如歌词所唱:“但这样的状态转瞬即逝,我又会故态复萌。”
副歌部分直击歌曲的核心主题,唱出了无数普通人的心声:“哪怕做个普通人也无比艰难,半数时间,我不知道自己在做什么。”歌手将自己比作“手里握着笔的普通人”,渴望能有一张“人生蓝图”来指引方向,却清醒地认识到自己不过是“这颗古老星球上沧海一粟”,只能随波逐流。这种对自我渺小与人生无常的感叹,引发了强烈的共鸣。
歌曲还生动地刻画了当代人应对焦虑的无奈方式。歌词中写道:“让我不再继续倒第四杯咖啡,我瑟瑟发抖,心渐渐停止跳动,但至少我可以从床上爬起来”、“即使连续六小时看着屏幕也不会威胁到健康,只要能帮我忘记这个世界即将毁灭”。这些充满画面感的细节,真实地反映了人们在高压生活下,试图通过咖啡因或逃避现实来获取片刻安宁,却又无法解决根本问题的困境。
整首歌没有高高在上的说教,而是用一种温柔又坦诚的态度告诉听众:感到迷茫、脆弱、不知道自己在做什么,都是生而为人的一部分。Anson Seabra用他的音乐传递出一种包容的力量——“慢慢来也没关系的”。它提醒着我们,尽管“做人很难”,但这是一种全人类共同的生命体验,我们都在跌跌撞撞中寻找属于自己的故事。
