Sex, the primitive yet omnipotent mechanism Of drives, arouses ecstatic life --- And anguishing death combined. Behind every scene on the versatile Shakespearean stage --- be it grand or bleak, Director Libido maneuvers melodramas that Befall us --- U.S. and former U.S.S.R alike. A tug of war enshrouded in riot, Between the hereditary, prefabricated impulse And the installed, prescribed reason, Heralds an unsleeping battle With truce unseen --- Yet if marrying both in harmony, like The way hydrogen meets oxygen, We may orchestrate ourselves for An euphoric symphony of Zen --- equilibrium revisited. Notes: 1. Line 5用"Shakespearean stage"是因为莎翁在他的戏剧中描述了人生的不同风貌, 藉此表示sex在人类生活和文化中的多元性 2. Line 6在"us"後面接上"U.S." 和"U.S.S.R." 乃文字游戏 3. Line 8用"hereditary, prefabricated"表示sex是与天俱来的, 刻镂在DNA里面的. 4. Line 9用"installed, prescribed"表示reason是後天加诸的, 相对於sex, reason是一种後天形式或是道德期许所规定出来的 5. Line 15提到"Zen"是因为若我们能把sex亦能载舟, 亦能覆舟的特质控制好的话, (如同T. S. Eliot "The Wasteland"第五部所说的"control"), sex能引领人类巧妙的达到禅的平衡. EX. 过度强烈的sex -> 伤害别人 毁灭自已 (打开电视 天天上场的新闻事件) 过低而失衡的sex -> 人类的延续或人口数量产生问题 6. Line 15在代表东方的"Zen"之後提到"equilibrium"则暗示代表西方的Piaget -- http://0rz.net/691qF http://www.rockacola.com/music/artist.asp?artist_no=21325 Eddy的词曲创作小宇宙 --
