Lyrics        

Why,or why not

To get my happiness I had done everything
But had done nothing to be blamed and accused of
The sound of footsteps became louder everyday
Then I notice the fact there was no time

I was a believer in life to be myself always
And was asking whether I would be alive

Give me a reason why not to adopt in this way
Or judge me to be guilty or to my incurable¹ sins
Tell me why or why not complain in the way to live
Maybe my heart looked some seal better for me

The whole world was at a complete standstill
And I was in fetters², at the mercy of the mob
The silent warning became louder every day
Then I kept pretending not to hear

Its meaning had been in the eyes of beholder³ all along
It had grown dark before I found a sign
Among the nonsense tragedies what on earth you are looking for?
You only have to be honest to yourself and your own fate.
Tell me why, or why not, complaining way too much
Maybe I overlooked something fatal for me

There is nobody who knows there will be nobody
Except for me, all the world has gone mad
So what is forgiveness you are willing to withhold⁴?
What is the well-being⁵ you are willing to make?
Now what? So what? Don't you come interrupt me, oh please,
While I am interrupting myself

  中文歌词  

为什么，或为什么不 by 片雾烈火

为了得到幸福，我什么都做了
但没有做招引骂名、招致谴责的恶行
身后的脚步声与日俱增
我终于察觉到，时间已经所剩无几

我曾相信生活，并坚持做真实的自己
我曾一再询问，我是否能继续生存

告诉我，为何不能选择这条路
为何判我有罪或认为我罪孽深重
告诉我，为什么要心怀抱怨或为什么不能抱怨
或许我的心为我找到了更好的标志

整个世界都已停止转动
我全身被缚，任由暴徒摆布
无声的警告一天比一天响亮
我却假装着什么也听不到

旁观者早已心知肚明
我没来得及发现就已陷入黑暗
无谓的悲剧中，你到底在寻找什么
你只需诚实地面对自己还有命运
告诉我为什么会这样？或为什么不是？有太多的抱怨
或许我曾一直忽略了一些对我致命的危险

如今无人知晓，这里即将空无一人
除了我，整个世界都已陷入疯狂
什么样的宽容是你们所愿意保留的
什么样的幸福是你们所想创造的
我又该怎样？那又会如何？请别来防碍我
在我还能够制止自己的时候

  我听之我见

“Why, or why not”是“片雾烈火”为悬疑动画片《寒蝉鸣泣之时》所唱的片尾曲。

动画片的剧情非常另类，血腥惊悚，充斥着人与人的不信任，肆意传播的可怕传说，迷离的失踪等等，但最终探究的却是人最深刻的内心。

这首英文歌曲配合着剧情，在片雾的演绎下显得别有一番风味。也许听惯了纯正欧美口音的你不一定能习惯这样的发音，但多一个尝试说不定会多一个惊喜，想想《灌篮高手》、《圣斗士》的主题歌都曾是我们的最爱，希望这首歌也能给予你同样美好的感受。
