BAD TIME STORY

這是 HOLTON BLACK 首次在音樂上挑戰二次創作。《BAD TIME STORY》是一首以〈蒸氣機 / steam engine〉為基礎的混音單曲。當她聆聽原曲時，便察覺其中有著類似「拉警報」的聲音，彷彿是一種求救訊號，這與她在夢中「驚覺手上的槍只剩一發子彈」的情境不謀而合。因此，她將原曲拆解重組，透過敘事的方式完成這首長達七分多鐘的混音作品。

歌曲分為三個段落，講述了一位不擅長表露情感的孩子，由於她善良與乖巧的性格，經常受到不公正的對待。然而這些創傷，總會在某些特定的事件中被重新喚醒，且依舊疼痛不已。

透過帶有那麼一點瘋癲與毀滅，以及幽微痛感的《BAD TIME STORY》，HOLTON BLACK 向卑微又順服的性格下台一鞠躬，並在血色的夢中擁抱事實：「時間無法治癒破碎的心，唯有愛才能。」

So, what do we have
What we have is a gentleness
That overcomes evil
What do we have
I have nothing but love
Love is a beautiful education
Your nightmare is your soulmate
Pick up that pistol with only one bullet

Where do I go
Where do I return to
Where do I sit
People
Who
Don’t know
How to cry
People
Who
Don’t know how
How to laugh
You can't
Love the person
You really
Want to love
You can
Regret
But don't
Blame yourself

You’re not
Not a baby
How ironic
How ironic
How ironic
How ironic
How weird can life be
I became a part of him
His ears, his eyes, his tears
Some of his body organs
Some of his emotions

People
Who
Don’t know how
How to laugh
You can
Regret
But don't
Blame yourself
Reality and fantasy
When I was a kid
It was hard for me to imagine

Touch me
Kiss me
Life’s fuck me
Till I bleed
I don’t mind
That you hate me
Judge me, beat me, choke me
Maybe I
Love this thing
I think it was meant to be

Mama took me to see the teacher
She said, you are cute, smart
And the most beautiful child I've ever seen
She lifted me up to the sky
My first beautiful memories
I'll take care of you, don't worry

Hit me, blame me, said she loved me
Don't worry, just unlucky
Don’t cry my baby
This is my BAD TIME STORY
Don't tell dad
Don't tell mom
Don't tell your friends
Just act like nothing happened
Tongue is fire, burning all promises
Look at that girl with long blue hair
She walks like a crying bird
Don't try to call, don't try to reply

Remember
Time will not mend our broken hearts
Only love can do
So, listen up
This is my fucking bad time story
I know I was born to be for you
I know I was born to love you

People
Who
Don’t know
How to cry
People
Who
Don’t know how
How to laugh
You can't
Love the person
You really
Want to love
You can
Regret
But don't
Blame yourself

So...
Ladies and gentlemen
Thank you for listening
This is my bad time story
No matter how people criticize
Remember
Tears are weapons
Anger makes us create
Thank you
(laugh)
Bye
See you next time
