about

I suppose I have been called just about every name in the book, including ugly dog - it’s my favorite (wink). But, the true ugly dog of this song is Bulimia Nervosa, an eating disorder that, like other addictions, can sabotage and destroy relationships. Sadly, this serious disorder has traditionally been overlooked. In Ugly Dog, I try to bring it more to light by recounting my experience with someone I loved who suffered from bulimia; from my perspective in the first and last verses, and from hers in the middle verse.

大概所有类型的绰号我都有过，其中包括ugly dog（我的最爱;-)）。不过Ugly Dog在这首歌里指的是暴食症，它像其他成瘾一样，在不知觉中渐渐破坏人与人的关系。而遗憾的是，这种疾病一直在大众面前被忽视。在《Ugly Dog》中，我试图通过叙述我和我患有暴食症的爱人的经历，来让更多的人了解和关注到这件事。单曲中用到了两个视角，在第一节和最后一节中都是从我的视角出发，中间部分则是她的视角。

lyrics

Here come the night
夜晚降临
I lay alone with you
我和你躺在一起
Lord I can see the clouds
我可以看到云
I can see the rain
我可以看到雨
Before the storm ever comes
暴风雨就要来临
I know I know
我知道又一场
war just begun
战争在酝酿

It’s time to go
是时候该离开了
It’s time to go babe
该离开了
It’s time to go
该离开了
It’s time to go
该离开了
Lord I can see the rain
暴风雨就要来临
Before the storm ever come
因为我看到了雨

I'll bring u passion babe
我给你带来热情
bring a smile to your face
给你脸上带来微笑
bring a hammer and nail baby
也带着锤子和钉子
seal your fate
封印你的命运
Didn’t I warn you?
我警告过你对吧？
Didn’t I tell you
我没告诉你
nothing compares?
什么也比不上它吗？
Wake up wake from your dream
醒醒吧，别再做梦了
it’ll always be there
它一直存在，未曾改变

You under me
你在我下面
See your eyes
我看着你的眼睛
It’ll change baby
那眼神会变
Just a matter of time
只是时间的问题
Lord I see ‘em
我可以看到
Like a thousand blazin’ suns
它像一千个热辣辣的太阳
And I know I know I
我知道我知道
I gotta walk away
我必须离开了
