Last time I saw you We had just split in two You were looking at me. I was looking at you You had a way so familiar. But I could not recognize. Couse you had blood on your face I had blood in my eyes. - The Origin of love중에서 - 내가 널 보는게 우리가 쪼개지고 난 직후인거라서 우리가 막 쪼개지고 난뒤라는... 원래 붙어 있는 나의 반쪽을 만났을때 하는 최고의 멘트라고 생각했었다. 최고의 작업멘트라고 생각했던 말인데.. 작업으로 치부하기엔 너무 서운하다. 내가 언젠가 그런 사람을 만날수나 있을런지 모르겠다. 사랑이라는게 내 맘속에 있다가도 퇴색되어지고 변질되어서 그게 과연 사랑이긴 했던건가 싶은 그런 시들한 감정에서 살면서 그런 생각자체가 내가 지금 사는게 너무 피곤하고 되는일일 없는거 같아서 사랑은 무신~ 하면서 그게 사치라고 생각했었다. 그렇지만 사랑의 기원을 생각하면 (그게 비단 플라톤의 생각이라고 할지라도) 그 아름답고 슬픈 기원을 믿고 그 사랑을 찾아서 평생 보내야 하는게 내가 태어난 이유가 아닐까 하는 생각도 한다. 사랑따윌 믿건 안 믿건 간에 어쨌든 너무나 분명하게 내 주위에 존재하고 내 스스로 숙주처럼 그 안에서 자라는거처럼 느껴지는데 어떻게 부정할 수 있을까? 내 다른 반대편의 반쪽을 찾아서 평생 사랑하고 또 사랑하고 계속 사랑하면서 죽어가리라 The origin of love When the earth was still flat And clouds made of fire And mountains stretched up to the sky Sometimes higher Folks roamed the earth Like big rolling kegs They had two sets of arms They had two sets of legs They had two faces peering out of one giant head So they could watch all around them As they talked while they read And they never Knew nothing of love It was before The origin of love The origin of love The origin of love The origin of love And there were three sexes then, One that looked like two men Glued up back to back, Called the children of the sun. And similar in shape and girth Were the children of the earth. They looked like two girls Rolled up in one. And the children of the moon Were like a fork shoved on a spoon. They were part sun, part earth Part daughter, part son. The origin of love Now the gods grew quite scared Of our strength and defiance And Thor said, I'm gonna kill them all With my hammer, Like I killed the giants. And Zeus said, "No, You better let me Use my lightening, like scissors, Like I cut the legs off the whales And dinosaurs into lizards." Then he grabbed up some bolts And he let out a laugh, Said, "I'll split them right down the middle. Gonna cut them right up in half." And then storm clouds gathered above Into great balls of fire And then fire shot down From the sky in bolts Like shining blades Of a knife. And it ripped right through the flesh Of the children of the sun And the moon And the earth. And some Indian god Sewed the wound up into a hole, Pulled it round to our belly To remind us of the price we pay. And Osiris and the gods of the Nile Gathered up a big storm To blow a hurricane, To scatter us away, In a flood of wind and rain, And a sea of tidal waves, To wash us all away, And if we don't behave They'll cut us down again And we'll be hopping round on one foot And looking through one eye. Last time I saw you We had just split in two. You were looking at me. I was looking at you. You had a way so familiar, But I could not recognize, Cause you had blood on your face; I had blood in my eyes. But I could swear by your expression That the pain down in your soul Was the same as the one down in mine. That's the pain, Cuts a straight line Down through the heart; We called it love. So we wrapped our arms around each other, T rying to shove ourselves back together. We were making love, Making love. It was a cold dark evening, Such a long time ago, When by the mighty hand of Jove, It was the sad story How we became Lonely two-legged creatures, It's the story of The origin of love. That's the origin of love. |
