New Divide是Linkin Park为《变形金刚2:卷土重来》演唱的主题曲。关于New Divide这个名字的含义,官方说法是暗指威震天的复活。
在这首Linkin Park专门为电影量身定做的主题曲中,虽然有Chester Bennington的愤怒呼喊声,但却没有Mike Shinoda的Rap,所以那些怀念Mike声音的歌迷们还得再等一段时间。
对于这次为电影创作主题曲,Linkin Park主唱之一的Mike Shinoda曾经在乐队的MySpace上表示:“我们有机会为本年度最值得期待的一部电影创作主题曲,这实在是太令人兴奋了。拍摄一支与音乐相配的MV是一回事,但为大银幕制作音乐却是一项完全不一样的挑战,但我们乐意接受这个挑战。”
电影导演Michael Bay则对乐队的表现相当满意,称道“他们的歌曲绝对带出了电影的精髓。”
其实这已经不是Linkin Park第一次为电影《变形金刚》提供音乐支持了。早在07年,《变形金刚》推出第一部电影时,他们的单曲《What I've Done》就已经被导演选入了电影的原声当中,作为主题曲出现在电影中。后在2011年,他们的《Iridescent(混音版)》成为《变形金刚3:月黑之时》主题曲。
【歌词】
Linkin Park - New Divide
林肯公园 -重生再造
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
我记得那时黑暗天空,雷电将我围绕
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
在我追忆岁月的每一个瞬间,时光跟着变得恍惚
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
就如噩耗宣判了我在劫难逃
And your voice was all I heard
只有你声音在冲击我脑海
That I get what I deserve
一切的一切,都是我的报应
So give me reason to prove me wrong to wash this memory clean
那么,给出我错了的解释,涤清往日的岁月
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
就让洪流飞越你眼里的深渊
Give me reason, to fill this hole, connect the space between
给我可以修复伤口,修补心灵断层的解释
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
直达谎言下的真相
Across this new divide
重生再造
There was nothing in sight, but memories left abandoned
那时,一切来临,毫无征兆,往时岁月不再
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
那时,无处藏身,灰烬飞扬如雪
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
在你我站立之间,曾经坚守的一切被埋葬
And your voice was all I heard
只有你声音在冲击我脑海
That I get what I deserve
一切的一切,都是我的报应
So give me reason to prove me wrong to wash this memory clean
那么,给出我错了的解释,涤清往日的岁月
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
就让洪流飞越你眼里的深渊
Across this new divide
重生再造
In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
种种的失落,种种的谎言,以及每一个你背弃的真相
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
还有每一个无法逃避的当断不断
And your voice was all I heard
只有你声音在冲击我脑海
That I get what I deserve
一切的一切,都是我的报应
So give me reason to prove me wrong to wash this memory clean
那么,给出我错了的解释,涤清往日的岁月
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
就让洪流飞越你眼里的深渊(此句采用网络版)
Give me reason, to fill this hole, connect the space between
给我可以修复伤口,修补心灵断层的解释
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
直达谎言下的真相
Across this new divide
重生再造(重复3次)
