Don't Let It Bring You Down

I heard this song for the first time when I watched "American Beauty" and I liked it very much.

I feel that the Chinese title is a bit unsatisfactory. The beauty mentioned many times in the film refers to something else (American-style alternative beauty). In the eyes of the magical boy living in the shadow of his father's violence, the plastic bag that was blown up by the wind also came alive. He danced and told him that there was nothing terrifying. At the end, he looked at the protagonist who fell in a pool of blood and smiled, and once again found a beauty that resonated with his thoughts. The movie enlarges and interweaves what we think and feel in reality. Everyone carries a piece of the beauty in their heart, or desires it, or suppresses it. Maybe this little beauty hidden in my heart looks so ugly from a worldly perspective.
Find the person who can identify with your inner beauty, even if it is burning, he can also lead you to turn things around.

Do not Let It Bring You Down
Do not devastated

Old man lying by the side of the road
of dusk man lateral side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
the wheels rumbling sound heard
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
sad moon overwhelmed the sinking
And the building scrape the sky,
skyscrapers break through the clouds
Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn
wind broke the silence of dawn
And the morning paper flies,
A new day has come unexpectedly
Dead man lying by the side of the road
of the dead buried in the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Eyes full of the "students" yearning

Do not let it bring you down
do not brought to its knees
it's only castles burning
just when building the dump's
find someone who's turning
just find that turning the tide of people
And you will come around
and you'll be reborn

Blind man running through the light of the night
the lost men to run to midnight under the street lights
With an answer in his hand
holding a so-called answer
Come on down to the river of sight
toward the dawn of hope bravely forward
And you can really understand
when you'll glance to
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain
in the rain Red light across the window
Can you hear the sirens moan?
Can you hear the sirens?
Cane lying in Gutter A White in at The Lane,
(everything disappear) only white cane lying quietly in the street gutter


If you're walking home alone.
If you are walking alone in the way back
Do not let it bring you down
do not depressed
It's only castles burning
just when building the dump's
find someone who's turning
just find that person to turn things around
And you will come around
and you'll be reborn


Do not let it bring you down
do not depressed
It's only Castles burning is
just when the building will fall ,
find someone who's turning
,
and you will come around and
you will be reborn

    After watching five top250 in a row, I have to admit that Hollywood is still yyds. Let’s be honest, America isn’t good at nuanced and moving family movies, and family movie themes are often repeated. The American Beauty is different, and has completed the innovation and leap forward of family films. There are two types of family films, light and humorous like Home Alone, or heavy and moving like a family of thieves. American Beauty falls roughly into the third category. His unique narrative style and shooting angle make him lively and depressing. The characters in the film are almost all strange, even perverted. Homosexual and violent dads, lecherous dads, photography drug addicts, rebellious women, obsessive-compulsive substance-obsessed moms, and dull-looking moms. In life, most people are playing their roles instead of showing their real selves. Self-happiness is more important than pleasing others. Only by breaking the restraint of self can we become a better self. 87/100

    "I guess I could be pretty pissed off for what have happened to me, but it's hard to stay mad when there is so much beauty in the world."

American Beauty quotes

  • Lester Burnham: Well you know what? I've changed! And the new me whacks off when he feels horny!

  • Sale House Woman #4: The ad said this pool was lagoon-like. There's nothing lagoon-like about it, except for the bugs. There aren't even any plants out here!

    Carolyn Burnham: What do you call this? Is this not a plant? If you have a problem with my plants, I can always call my landscape architect! Solved!
