If change is made - Emmy The Great - Trellick Tower

Our many behaviours are 
based on some established beliefs,

It can be a belief in religion;

Confidence in professional knowledge, etc.

When beliefs change,

The behaviour will also change accordingly.

These new behaviours may affect 
the previously established relationships with others:

The job may be dismissed;

The relationship may be terminated, etc.

And it is difficult to restore.



Emmy The Great - Trellick Tower


You propelled yourself into the arms of God
And Christ and all the angels,
Now you're high above the people
Who you used to call your equals.
I will stay behind and live this life
You left me as a witness who
Can tidy up your business and
Record that someone lived here
In the shade of Trellick Tower
In those days of living gently
Something holy used to love me
Something holy used to touch me
Then he heard the voice I couldn't hear
He's gone to where it sent him
And now I'm praying for this pain to clear
He's waiting on ascension.

And now I'm praying but there's still no change
You're high as Trellick Tower
Throw your hair down when you let me spend
My life trying to climb you
And I'm praying till my knees don't fold
Praying till my hands don't close
Praying till my fingers close

And you've propelled yourself into the arms of God
And Christ and all the saints,
Now I've been walking through our house like
separation made it sacred.
I've been burying the books you left
I treat them like they're ancient
And I think relics ache for when the saint had breath
They miss the thing that changed them

And I'm a relic and you're so, so high
You're high as Trellick Tower
Throw your hair down when you let me spend
My life trying to climb you
And praying till my knees don't fold
Praying till my hands don't close
Praying till my fingers close

And in the shade of Trellick Tower
I spent a while trying to keep you
Tell all the people moving on, "hey,
Hey, something holy used to live here."
Now I'm a relic of a life gone by,
Kneeling to address the sky
And I'll keep praying till the binds untie
Praying but I don't know why
And I'll keep praying till the binds untie
Praying but I don't know why
Oh, I'll pray until the language dies,
Praying 'cos you're so, so high,
Can I spend my life trying to climb you?


很多行為,

是基於某些既定信念,

可以是對宗教的信仰;

對專業知識的信心等。

當信念、信仰有改變,

行為也會相應改變。

這些新行為可能會影響與他人在以前已建立的關係:

工作可能會被辭退;

戀情可能會被終止等。

而它很難復元。
