Текст песни Nine Inch Nails - Zero-Sum

Zero Sum

they're starting to open up the sky, they're starting to reach down through
and it feels like we're living in that split-second of a car crash
and time is slowing down, and if we'd only had a little more time
and this time
is all there is
do you remember the time we...?
and all the times we...?
and should have...?
and were going to...?
i know

and i know you remember
how would he justify it all
and we knew better
in our hearts
we knew better
and we told ourselves it didn't matter
and we chose to continue
and none of that matters anymore
in the hour of our twilight...
and soon it will be all said and done and we'll all be back together
as one
if we will continue at all

shame on us, doomed from the start
may god have mercy on our dirty little hearts
shame on us for all we have done
and all we ever were just zeroes and ones

and you never get away, and you never get to take the easy way,
and all this is a consequence, brought by our own hand
if you believe in that sort of thing
and did you ever really find, when you closed your eyes,
any place that was still, and at peace

and i guess i just wanted to tell you, as the lights start to fade,
that you are the reason that i am not afraid
and i guess i just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall,
we will be together soon if we will be anything at all

shame on us, doomed from the start
may god have mercy on our dirty little hearts
shame on us for all we have done
and all we ever were just zeroes and ones

Нулевая сумма

Они начинают дырявить небо
они вгрызаются в землю
и мы чувствует себя, как в машине,
в секунду перед аварией,
и все, как в замедленной съемке,
о если бы у нас было
немного больше времени
но на этот раз
эта секунда, все что у нас осталось,
вы помните все время мы,
и все времена мы
пытались,
и должны были что-то сделать
я знаю.
и я знаю, что вы помните
как мы умели оправдываться,
но мы знали правду
в глубине сердца мы знали правду,
но мы сказали себе - не играет роли,
и мы продолжали все в том же духе,
и теперь ничего уже не имеет значения
в этот час наших сумерек
и скоро все будет сказано и сделано
и мы будем все вместе: как единое целое
если что-то будет вообще.

позор нам,
обреченным изначально
пусть бог пощадит
наши грязные маленькие сердца
позор нам
после всего, что мы сделали.
мы всегда были лишь
ноли и единицы

и вам никогда уже
не выбраться из этой ситуации,
для вас нет легкого пути
я знаю, все это - плоды,
наши собственных деяний
если вы верите в это...

заметили ли вы, что
когда вы закрываете глаза
вы можете попасть в то место,
где все еще есть мир и спокойствие

и я просто хотел сказать,
что когда наступят сумерки,
с вами я ничего не боюсь

и я просто хотел упомянуть
что когда небеса упадут,
мы скоро все будем вместе,
если что - нибудь будет вообще

позор нам,
обреченным изначально
пусть бог пощадит
наши грязные маленькие сердца
позор нам
после всего, что мы сделали.
мы всегда были лишь
нолями и единицами

zero sum

They begin to perforate the sky
they bite into the ground
and we feel like in the car,
in the second before the accident ,
and everything in slow motion ,
about if we had
a little more time
but this time the
this second , all we have left ,
you remember all the time we
and all the times we
tried ,
and had to do something
I know.
and I know that you remember
we were able to justify ,
but we know the truth
in the depths of our hearts, we know the truth ,
but we said - it does not matter
and we continued in the same vein,
and now there's nothing it does not matter
in this hour of our twilight
and soon all is said and done
and we 'll all be together : as a whole
if something is all.

shame us
initially doomed
May God have mercy on
our dirty little hearts
shame us
after all that we did.
we have always been a
zeros and ones

and you'll never have
do not get out of this situation ,
for you is no easy way
I know it all - fruit
our own acts
if you believe that ...

have you noticed that
when you close your eyes
you can get to the place ,
where there is still peace and tranquility

and I just wanted to say
when dusk ,
with you I am not afraid of anything

and I just wanted to mention
that when the heavens fall,
we'll all be together ,
if anything - anything at all will be

shame us
initially doomed
May God have mercy on
our dirty little hearts
shame us
after all that we did.
we have always been a
zeros and ones
