歌词解析:

1.When you wake up in the evening and the day is shot晚上醒来的时候，这一天又浪费了
shot: v,“shoot”的过去式和过去分词
If you touch her again, I'll shoot you.你再敢碰她一指头，我用枪毙了你！
He was shot dead.他是被枪打死的。
在这句歌词里面是指什么东西坏了，所以这里指的是一天被浪费了。人体的某个部位受伤了，也可以用这个单词。膝盖受伤了，你就可以说：My knee is shot；肩膀受了伤，那你就说：My shoulder is shot.
I think my engine is shot. This is not good.我想，引擎应该是坏了，这下糟了。

2.Never goes just the way that you wanted it to生活从来都不是自己想的那样
这句话省略了主语‘life’,Life never goes the way that you wanted it to.

3.Cliche of the day, cest la vie that's just life应了一句老话：这就是生活
Cliche：陈词滥调；老生常谈
Unfortunately, the old cliche is often true, "Out of sight, out of mind. "
遗憾的是，古语说的“久违情疏”通常都是事实。
C'est la vie .法语句子，翻译为中文是“这就是生活”。

4.you can say that i'm a dreamer and you think it's uncool你可以说我是个白日梦想家，你可以认为这样不行
dreamer:梦想家；空想家；不切实际的人；做白日梦的人
Mrs. Smith was a dreamer, but her husband was a man with his feet on the ground.史密斯太太是个空想家，而她丈夫则是个脚踏实地的人。
No metter what happened, he never gave up his dream. He is a brave dreamer!
不管发生了什么，他从未放弃他的梦想，他，是一个勇敢的梦想者！
uncool:adj,形容词，不酷的；不时髦的
You think I'm uncool and boring,right?你觉得我又土又闷，对吧？
uncool:adj,粗野的；不太好的；没礼貌的
Hey, buddy⁵, that's uncool!小子，这可不对！
You freak ! - Dave , that is uncool , man
你个怪物！ -大卫，你这样做叫没对哦！

5.but you get what you give in this life that we live但是，你这一辈子，付出才有收获
you get what you give:付出什么就会得到什么；种瓜得瓜种豆得豆
I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give.我虔诚地相信因果报应：种瓜得瓜、种豆得豆。
and all that you do come back to you做事都有全因后果/出来混是要还的
all that you do:你所做的所有事情 (al是代词，具有名词的功能l)
come back to you:会回到你身上
所以就是‘因果报应’

6.united we stand, divided we fall团结则存，分裂则亡。
united过去分词做状语：有形容词‘团结’的意思，divided,过去分词做状语，有形容词的功能，表示‘分裂的’。
