The biggest reason why I wanted to interpret this song is because it's the original sound track of this drama, and I was curious about what it meant and whether the lyrics were related to the life of the main character.
Ahead By A Century
-The Tragically Hip-
<Verse1>
First thing we'd climb a tree
And maybe then we'd talk or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal This is our life
우리는 먼저 나무에 올라갈 거야,
그리곤 아마 이야기하거나 조용히 앉아있겠지.
그리곤 황금빛으로 발하게 될 훗날의 환상에 대해 우리의 생각들을 나눌 거야
총연습은 없어 이게 우리의 삶이야.
(Pre-Chorus)
And that’s where the hornet stung me
And I had a feverish dream
with revenge and doubt
Tonight we smoke them out
그리고 그곳은 말벌이 나를 쏘는 곳이야.
그리고 내가 복수와 의심의 과열된 꿈을 가지게 된 곳이지.
오늘 밤, 우리는 그것들을 들추어냈지.
(Chorus)
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
너는 한 세기를 앞서 있단다
<Verse 2>
Stare in the morning shroud
And then the day began
I tilted your cloud
You tilted my hand
Rain falls in real time
And rain fell through the night
No dress rehearsal, this is our life.
아침의 경관을 바라봐
그리곤 하루가 시작되지
나는 너의 구름을 기울였어.
너는 내 손을 기울였지
비는 실시간으로 내렸어.
그리고 밤새도록 내렸어.
총연습은 없어 이게 우리의 삶이야.
(Pre-Chorus)
And that’s where the hornet stung me
And I had a serious dream
with revenge and doubt
Tonight we smoke them out
그리고 그곳은 말벌이 나를 쏘는 곳이야.
그리고 내가 복수와 의심의 진지한 꿈을 가지게 된 곳이지.
오늘 밤, 우리는 그것들을 들추어냈지.
(Chorus)
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century
And disappointing you is gettin’me down
너는 한 세기를 앞서 있단다
그리고 너를 실망하게 만드는 것이 나를 내려오게 했어.
I think this song reflects the most important thing of Anne. It's an imagination that used to make her friends left but I could assure it make her alive without losing hope in hardship.
