💡 --- ARTIST'S STATEMENT / 創作理念 --- From the ashes of personal tragedy comes a cold, analytical clarity. In this song, the soul stops crying and starts dissecting. I wanted to create a clinical, unnerving anatomy of the systems—Law, Medicine, Religion—that pathologize and profit from marginalized identities. The chorus, with its coded wordplay, alludes to the physical and spiritual remaking of the self under a systematic gaze. It is a cold, rhythmic, and unflinching look at the machinery of oppression. 從個人悲劇的灰燼中, 誕生了一種冰冷的, 分析性的清醒. 在這首歌裡, 靈魂停止哭泣, 開始解剖. 我想創造一幅臨床的, 令人不安的解剖圖, 揭示那些將邊緣化身份病理化並從中牟利的系統—法律, 醫療, 宗教. 副歌中充滿隱喻的文字遊戲, 暗示了在系統性凝視下, 對自我進行的物理與精神上的重塑. 這是一次冰冷的, 充滿節奏感的, 對壓迫機器的無情審視. 📜 --- THE VERSE / 詩篇 --- [Chorus] Cut-cut, cut deep — hush hush Cut-cut, cut best — paid much Cut-cut, truth sleep — soft touch Cut deep, cut best — no rush [副歌] 切, 切, 切深點—噓, 安靜 切, 切, 切好點—付了很多錢 切, 切, 真理沉睡—輕輕地碰 切深點, 切好點—別著急 [I. Ledger in the Fog] In shadow’d hall where silence counts the cost, A book is kept where none but coin may speak. There names are penned—half-born, half-lost— And ink’d in blood for truth they dare not seek. Soft souls are priced in marks and weighted dust, The glovèd hand doth weigh their breath in gold. Yet none ask why, nor reckon what is just— For laws are drawn where hearts are bought and sold. [第一部分 – 迷霧中的帳本] 在陰影大廳, 沉默計算著代價, 一本帳本被保管著, 在那裡除了金幣, 無人能言. 名字被記下—半生半死, 半得半失— 並用鮮血書寫, 為了他們不敢追尋的真理. 柔軟的靈魂被標價, 以印記和沉重的塵埃衡量, 戴著手套的手, 用黃金來稱量他們的呼吸. 然而無人問津為何, 也無人思量何為公正— 因為法律被制定之處, 人心被買賣. [Chorus] Cut-cut, cut deep — hush hush Cut-cut, cut best — paid much Cut-cut, truth sleep — soft touch Cut deep, cut best — no rush [副歌] 切, 切, 切深點—噓, 安靜 切, 切, 切好點—付了很多錢 切/ 切, 真理沉睡—輕輕地碰 切深點, 切好點—別著急 [II. Scroll of Writ and Whim] The scribes of law, in velvet-gown’d disguise, Do barter dreams for clauses barbed and cold. They turn the truth to ash with honey’d lies, And call it love that doth the gate withhold. A silver thread unravels at the seam, But still the garment bears its holy crest. What cost hath care? Far less than what they deem— Yet still they bind it 'neath the nation’s breast. [第二部分 – 法令與任性的卷軸] 法律的書記員, 身著天鵝絨長袍偽裝, 用夢想去交換那些帶刺而冰冷的條款. 他們用甜蜜的謊言將真相化為灰燼, 並稱那阻擋大門之物為愛. 一條銀線在接縫處鬆脫, 但這件外衣依然佩戴著它神聖的徽章. 關懷的代價為何? 遠低於他們的估量— 然而他們依舊將其捆綁在國家的胸膛之下. [Chorus] Cut-cut, cut deep — hush hush Cut-cut, cut best — paid much Cut-cut, truth sleep — soft touch Cut deep, cut best — no rush [副歌] 切, 切, 切深點—噓, 安靜 切, 切, 切好點—付了很多錢 切, 切, 真理沉睡—輕輕地碰 切深點, 切好點—別著急 [III. The Healer's Fee] The cloth’d healer holds a sacred knife, But yields it slow, unless the purse be full. To mend the form, they tax the inner life— And crown their craft in marble halls most dull. What art is this that shuns the faint of coin, Yet names itself the hand of mercy true? It doth the self and body disjoint, And calls it grace to sell what love would do. [第三部分 – 療愈者的酬金] 穿著白袍的療愈者, 握著一把神聖的手術刀, 但除非錢袋已滿, 否則他出手緩慢. 為了修復外形, 他們對內在的生命徵稅— 並在最沉悶的大理石殿堂裡為他們的手藝加冕. 這是何種技藝, 竟避開那些錢幣微薄之人, 却又自詡為真正的慈悲之手? 它將自我與身體割裂, 並稱出賣愛本該做的事為恩典. [Chorus] Cut-cut, cut deep — hush hush Cut-cut, cut best — paid much Cut-cut, truth sleep — soft touch Cut deep, cut best — no rush [副歌] 切, 切, 切深點—噓, 安靜 切, 切, 切好點—付了很多錢 切, 切, 真理沉睡—輕輕地碰 切深點, 切好點—別著急 [IV. Litany Against the Gilted Voice] The pulpit speaks in gilded, fire-fed tone, But not of truth—nay, only what shall burn. They carve their sermons deep in polished stone, And let the coin, not conscience, take its turn. Yet lo—the soul, though press’d by iron laws, Still blooms like moss in tombs the world hath cursed. Let not their creeds make pale thy secret cause, For from thy root shall rise a bloom reversed. [第四部分 – 對抗鍍金之聲的連禱] 講壇用鍍金的, 火焰般的語調說話, 但內容不是真理—不, 只是那些注定要燃燒的東西. 他們將布道文深刻地雕刻在磨光的石頭上, 並讓金幣/ 而非良知, 來輪流做主. 然而看啊—那靈魂, 雖被鐵律壓迫, 仍如青苔在世界所詛咒的墳墓中綻放. 不要讓他們的教條使你秘密的信念變得蒼白, 因為從你的根部, 將生出逆轉的花朵. 🌐 --- THE JOURNEY & THE ARCHITECT / 旅程與建築師 --- The Journey: Explore the full creative R&D lab, the "Octopus Principle" in action, and our complete discography at walkingwithai.com. | The Architect: The foresight behind this work is detailed in our "2040 Index."
