凭借着神曲《Somebody I Used To Know》而拿下三座格莱美奖杯的锅贴哥(Gotye)似乎对于主流路线毫无兴趣,单曲《Smoke and Mirrors》MV首播,依然延续着让人看不懂的创意动画。
歌词如下:
Smoke And Mirrors
虚假——Gotye
You're a fraud and you know it
你是个骗子,你是知道的
But it's too good to throw it all away
但是魔术太好了不能扔掉它
Anyone would do the same
每个人都会这么做的
You've got 'em going
你已传承它们
And you're careful not to show it
你不在乎是不是在表演
Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
有的时候都有点把自己骗了
It's like magic
它就像魔法一样
But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game
但是它毕竟是一个欺骗的节目
Anyone would do the same
每个人都会这么做的
So now that you've arrived well you wonder
所以现在你打到了你预期的效果吗
What is it that you've done to make the grade
想要达到成功的目的你都做了什么?
And should you do the same?
你还会做同样的事情吗?
Is that too easy?

Are you only trying to please them

Will they see then?
