歌词：Everything has changed, everything's arranged, even since you close the door.

一切都变了，一切都被安排着，自从你关上这扇门之后。

Ever since——从那时起； 自那时以来。例如：

We've been friends ever since we met at school.

自从我们在学校认识之后，我们就一直是好朋友。

I went to Shenzyen in 2010 and lived here ever since.

我2010年来到深圳，从那以后就一直住在这里。

歌词：I could've been captived all like it was before when I thought our love was true

当我以为我们的爱是真实的时候，我曾就像从前一样那么着迷。

也就是说陷在自以为的真实的爱里无法自拔。

Captivate是个动词，表示“迷住、迷惑”。“被...给迷住了”那就是be captivated by。例如

“他被她的美色迷住了”可以怎么说呢？He was captivated by her beauty.

与之形似的单词captive²是形容词或者名词，作为形容词的时候表示“被迷住的”，还有“被俘虏的”的意思。作为名词则表示“迷恋者”，上面的那个例句其实还可以说成：He was a captive to her beauty，他是她美色的迷恋者，那也是表示他被她的美色迷住了。

Captive还可以表示“俘虏”，比如：The captives³ are wearing chains. 俘虏们都带着镣铐。

那么captive和prisoner有什么区别呢？Captive意指“俘虏”，指的是在战争中被抓获的军人，而Prisoner是“犯人”,多指因各种刑事犯罪被判刑的人。注意着两者是不同的。

歌词：But everything's surreal, that is how I feel.

上面歌词说到陷在爱情中无法自拔（be captivated），这一句是说：其实这一切都是离奇的

那就是我的感觉。

Surreal，前缀是sur-通常有“超过”“在上面”的意思，比如surpass超过(sur+pass通过→在上面通过→超越)；surrealism超现实主义(sur+realism现实主义)；surface表面(sur+face脸面)。

那么歌词中的这个surreal就是“超现实的”，也就是“离奇的”，或者说“不真实的”。比如：

The colors in the sky look surreal. 天空的颜色看起来不真实。

Meeting you here like this is surreal! 像这样与你在此相逢真好比是一场梦！

歌词：So I painted all in blue.

所以我把生命画成了蓝色。

这句歌词到底什么意思？蓝色又代表什么？每次提到这个我都会想起一首歌，有一句是这样的：现在的你看到的我是蓝色的。其实蓝色代表着忧郁。有一种音乐BLUES，就是蓝调音乐，他（她）们的歌声可以唱进你的心，穿透你的灵魂。一般也都是充满悲伤情感的。So In the English language,blue may refer to the feeling of sadness.
