[C:] No, not really. It's more a need for sympathy. I want people to feel sorry for me. I like the feel of the burn of the audience's eyes on me when I'm whispering all my darkest secrets into the microphone. When I was a kid, I used to carry this safety pin around with me, everywhere I went in my pocket. And when people weren't paying enough attention to me, I'd dig it into my arm until I started crying. Everyone would stop what they were doing and ask me what was the matter. I guess, I guess I kinda [unintelligible]. [C ： ]没有，真的没有。这是更需要同情。我希望人们能为我感到难过。我喜欢观众的眼睛烧伤的感觉在我身上时，我耳语我所有最黑暗的秘密麦克风。当我还是个孩子的时候，我用随身携带这个别针在我身旁，无论我走到我的口袋里。而当人们没有给予足够的重视，我想挖入我的手臂，直到我开始哭了。每个人都将停止他们在做什么，并问我是怎么回事。我猜，我猜我还挺[不知所云] 。

[R:] No, I'm feeling sick. [注： ]不，我觉得不舒服。

[C:] I really just wanna be warm yellow light that pours all over everyone I love. [C ： ]我真的只是想成为暖黄色的光，盆满钵满遍每一个我爱的人。

[R:] So, uh, you're gonna play something for us now. Is this a new song? [注： ]所以，呃，你要玩的东西，我们现在。这是一个新的歌曲？

[C:] Yeah, but I haven't written it yet. It's one I've been meaning to write, uh, called, "A Song To Pass The Time." [C ： ]是啊，但我还没有写呢。这是一个我一直打算写的，呃，叫“一首歌来打发时间。 ”

[R:] Oh, that's a nice title. [注： ]哦，这是一个不错的称号。

[C:] [mumbles] No, it isn't. You should write your own scripts. [C ： ] [喃喃自语]不，它不是。您应该编写自己的脚本。
