歌词：Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand.
有时最精心制定的计划莫过于一夜的陪伴。
Laid plan精心布置的计划 再来句几个例子：
Even our most carefully laid plans may backfire. 甚至我们的最周密安排的计划也可能产生适得其反的结果。
Backfire: (内燃机等)逆火；适得其反；产生事与愿违的结果
One night stand在歌词中翻译得比较含蓄委婉，那这个短语的意思呢实际上是一夜情。
其中的stand并不是“站立”的意思，而是表示一个很小的“place”，地方。
本来这个词是指a single night theatre performance，即只在某夜某地上演一次就离开的巡回表演，后来被代指a sexual⁵ relationship that lasts for a single night，即只持续一夜的那种亲密的关系，是口语中不正式的用法。比如：I was hoping for a lasting⁶ affair, not just a one night stand. 我希望的是长久恩爱, 而不是一夜露水之欢.

歌词：And the lambs are on the run, searching for the meaning.
无助的羔羊们正在亡命天涯，探寻着活下去的意义。
On the run一般有两个意思，要不就是逃跑，要不就是奔跑，引申为“奔波、忙碌”的意思，分别来举例：
逃跑：He's on the run from the police. 他正在逃避警方的追缉。
奔波、忙碌：I've been on the run all day and I'm exhausted⁷. 我整天忙个不停，疲於奔命。
Search for表示寻找，search作为动词和名词都是可以的。
名词：They made a long search for the lost child. 他们花很长时间寻找失踪的孩子。
动词：We searched for five hours and all for nothing. 我们找了5个小时，但毫无结果。
这句歌词是比喻，把无助的人们比喻成了羔羊，自助者天助，不管你在什么样的境遇中，相信时间一定能让我们走过那个坎，只要你够坚强，还有亲人朋友的陪伴。

歌词：Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending.
这句歌词就的的确确是满满的正能量了，因为这句歌词是说：或许另起一页我们会发现一个全新的结局。
Brand new: 崭新的、全新的。
The rising sun suggests a brand new day has come.
东升的太阳表明崭新的一天已经来临。
No one can go back and make a brand new start.
没有人可以回到过去，拥有一个崭新的开始。
Turn over a new leaf 的意思是重新开始(改过自新,过新生活) 。
英文释义:means to get a new start ,to change everything about yourself .
I'm turning a new leaf ,No more drinking ,No more smoking, It's a healthy life from now on.
我决定改过自新，戒掉烟酒，过健康的生活。
