01. Tornado Alley 巷口龙卷风 When it comes again down the pike, hold me tight and it'll be alright. Rebuild this town again another time. Good as new. Then it'll come again down the pike and jam a tree in the power lines. Fires light up the night sky, but we'll stay alive. Point's moot, it's not like we can just up and move to a safer place. Nothing to do but sit on the porch and just enjoy the view. Doomed to wait for... it to come again down the pike hold me tight and it'll be alright. Rebuild this town again another time. Good as new. Then it'll come again down the pike and jam a tree in the power lines. Fires light up the night sky, but we'll stay alive. Our homes here. And we won't leave town on account of fear. Winds are picking up. Lightning appears and its delayed cracks attack our ears. Let's get underground. When it comes again down the pike, hold me tight and it'll be alright. Rebuild this town again another time. Good as new. Then it'll come again down the pike and jam a tree in the power lines. Fires light up the night sky, but we'll stay alive for you. Stay alive for you. 当它再来的时候,抱紧我就没事了。重建这个城镇。像新的一样好。然后它又来了,把一棵树插在电线上。火照亮了夜空,但我们会活着的。这毫无意义,我们不能放弃一切,搬到别的地方去更安全的地方。无事可做但是坐在门廊上好好欣赏风景。注定要等待。。。等它再来抱紧我就没事了。重建这个城镇。像新的一样好。然后它又来了,把一棵树插在电线上。火照亮了夜空,但我们会活着的。我们的家在这里。我们不会离开镇上,因为害怕而已。风越来越大了。闪电出现,它的延迟裂缝攻击我们的耳朵。我们最好到地下去。当它再来的时候,抱紧我就没事了。重建这个城镇。像新的一样好。然后它又来了,把一棵树插在电线上。火照亮了夜空,但我们会为你活着。为你活着。

Question 05:31
02. Question 疑问 Question: Did people refer to capital letters as “caps"before caps lock became a fundamental key on keyboards everywhere? Or did some clever space-saving SOB just coin the term right out of his or her… I ask you cuz this is my question. Won't you answer my question? Hey, love. Question: Have I just wasted my time with profound thoughts? Maybe before I spend so much time overthinking things. I should slow down and ask: Did you really mean to send in all caps, the text, screamed in my eyes. Were you so angry? This is my question. Won't you answer my question? Hey, love, answer my question! Answer my question! 问题:人们是否把大写字母称为“caps”在大写字母锁成为键盘上的基本键之前,或者是一个聪明的节省空间的家伙,就从他或她身上,编造了这个词。我问你因为这是我的问题。你不回答我的问题吗?嘿,亲爱的。问题:我是不是浪费了时间去思考? 也许在我花这么多时间去想事情之前。我应该停下来问问:你真的打算用大写字母发这封信吗?短信在我眼中尖叫。你真的那么生气吗?这是我的问题。你不回答我的问题吗?嘿,亲爱的,回答我的问题!回答我的问题!

Sandwich 04:25
04. Sandwich 三明治 I’m often on my feet, standing in the kitchen, cooking a grilled cheese. Burn it black. I’m collapsed on the bed, drying my eyes in the pillow, wondering why I always fuck it up. Oh. I forgot to flip it. The sun settles behind the buildings. A shadow unlocks and comes through my window to heal me. It takes my hair and puts it behind my ear, leans in to whisper, “I am the same as you.” The same! 我经常站起来,站在厨房里,做烤奶酪三明治。把它烧成黑色。我倒在床上,在枕头上擦干我的眼睛,想知道为什么我总是把事情搞砸了。哦。我忘了去翻我的三明治。太阳落在建筑物后面。一个影子打开我的窗户进来了来治愈我。它把我的头发放到耳朵后面,靠在我耳边低语说“我和你一样。”一样!

Balloon 05:26
05. Balloon 气球 If not for the balloons, I think I would've died. If not for the balloons, I would have cried. In all my blood I've found cells often doubling down. If not for the balloons, I would have drowned. If not for the balloons, I would have given up. If not for the balloons, my hopes would’ve been crushed 'cause in all my blood I've found cells broke and dumbing down. If not for the balloons, I’d be dead now. If not for the balloons... They were nice, such a surprise. I thought you had forgotten my life. Don’t you fly away. 如果不是气球,我可能会死。如果不是气球,我会哭的。在我所有的血液中,我发现细胞经常加倍。如果不是气球,我早就淹死了。如果不是气球,我早就放弃了。如果不是气球,我的希望就会破灭。因为在我所有的血液中,我发现细胞已经破碎,并逐渐变小。如果不是气球,我现在就死定了。如果不是气球… 他们很好,真是个惊喜。我以为你忘了我的生活。别飞走。

Distracted 04:39
06. Distracted 神情恍惚 I just found you hanging there so can you blame me for using you? I needed to because I had no other option in the bag. To be more specific would be terrific but then I'd lose track. And need to eat a snack. A Reese's Cup would be dope. Oh no, I let you go. You vanished in thin-air. I'm sorry, my idea. The guilt that I have for abandoning you becomes a bronze sword that splits my head in two. I keep forgetting what I'm trying to do. All these distractions have me coming unglued. You're my idea, I should take care of you. You're my idea, but I can't carry you. 我发现你挂在那儿,你能怪我吗? 因为利用你?我需要用这个主意,因为我没有别的主意。更具体地说是很好的,但是那我就迷失方向了。需要吃点零食。一块花生酱巧克力糖会很棒。哦,不,我让你走了。你凭空消失了。对不起,我的主意。我抛弃你的罪恶感变成一把铜剑, 把我的头劈成两半。我总是忘了我想做什么。所有这些让我分心的事都让我觉得心烦意乱。你是我的主意,我应该照顾你。你是我的主意,但我不能好好照顾你。

Foolish 04:15 video
07. Foolish 愚蠢 I'm in the mood for gasoline; the fuel that runs my heart and all its greed. In a red race-car chasing money, with unseen rusting on the chassy. Keep it up! Blow onto the fire to keep my dreams alive. My eyes are close to light. Pirelli treads worn lopsided, becoming tractionless on the joy of life. Keep it up! I quit everything I loved, took a long look at the junker I'd become. Now I need the closure of a checkered flag in a pool of blood. Keep it up! 我想买汽油;控制我的心和贪婪的燃料。在一辆追逐金钱的红色赛车里,汽车上有看不见的锈迹。坚持下去!吹到火上,保持我的梦想。我的眼睛在最后接近光明。名牌鞋底磨损不均,无法控制生活的乐趣。坚持下去!我放弃了我所爱的一切,看了很久我变成的垃圾。现在我需要结束,血泊中的方格旗。坚持下去!

Make Sure 05:56
08. Make Sure 确定一下 We didn’t make sure not to drive out of gas. When are you coming back? I don’t really wanna know. I should’ve known you’d drive me out again. 我们没有确保不把汽油用完。你什么时候回来?我不太想知道。我早该知道你又会把我赶出去。

The Bus 07:02
10. The Bus 公车 That night I fell asleep on the bus cuz there was no one to wake me up. No one. I missed my stop and had to walk back home. No one. I heard passengers, static noise and chatter. No one. Where were you? The bumps woke me up. I didn’t know where I was. No one. No one woke me up. 那天晚上我在公共汽车上睡着了,因为没人叫醒我。没人。我错过了公共汽车站,只好步行回家。没人。我听到乘客的声音,静电噪音和叽叽喳喳的声音。没人。你那时在哪呢?路上的颠簸把我吵醒了。我根本不知道我在哪里。没人。没人叫醒我。

about

POLYPHOZIA is a grunge/post-rock trio formed in Wenzhou, China, and known locally as 怕繁杂 Pàfánzá (pinyin) which literally translates to “afraid of complication.'' However, there’s been no attempts to keep it simple. Their sprawling song structures are filled with lavish high points, roomy lows, unhurried build-ups, sudden halts, garage-rock clamor, and moments of ethereal wonder. As a band of American and Chinese nationals, having conflicting cultures and languages plays a prominent role in song-writing and stylistic sensibility. POLYPHOZIA will release Suitcase of Voices, their long-awaited debut full-length, with Nefarious Industries this fall. The album features a blend of grunge, shoegaze, and a touch of progressive rock, and weaving the record’s ten tracks together is a narrative dealing with the aftermath of a relationship-ending argument.
