近日英国金属核乐队Architects发布了他们的最新单曲‘Devil’s Island’，虽然从他们今年专辑《The Here and Now》的表现来看这支年轻的队伍并没成功延续歌迷对他们的期望，给我留下“柔情太多，激情太少”的感觉（对，就是太Pop 了）。但这首新单曲还挺打动我的，特别是看了MV之后。让我觉得这个由低画质影像拼凑的视频，比其他那些清一色的深蹲螃蟹核MV有内容多了。

MV主要反映的是英国一系列的暴乱现象，以及那一撮人们称作’chavs’的无赖流氓群体在这段非常时期所作的“突出贡献”。虽然国外网站上对这个视频的内容介绍并不很多，但我想只要是有些了解英国新闻的人都应该知道他们想表达什么。其实每个操蛋的国家都有一群操蛋的年轻人，但作恶就是作恶，没有借口，在做出这些冲动举动时他们是否想过“这里曾是你的家，这里曾是你爱过的街道……”。如果你看到MV最后，或许也会和我一样难受。人性实在是很难揣测和琢磨的东西。

这首歌的歌词写得也非常让人触动，我觉得这也是让Architects与其他金属核年轻乐队区别开来的原因：

Architects – Devil’s Island

This is your country,
This is your home,
Here is the house where you grew up alone.

The city streets,
you used to love,
are bruised and broken,
are black and blue.
On our TV’s, miles away.
On our doorsteps with no reason why.

Take it back, take it back, take it back.

This is your country,
This is your home,
Here is the house where you grew up alone.
Remember this for what it was.

Take it back, take it back, take it back.

You want a voice,
but your voices sound like violence.
You don’t deserve this life.

This is your country,
This is your home,
Here is the house where you grew up alone.
Remember this for what it was,
a bleak projection of absent minds.

You want a voice,
but your voices sound like violence.
You shout so loud but all I hear is silence.
The city streets that you show no love,
are bruised and broken,
because of you.

This is your country,
This is your home,
Here is the house where you grew up alone.

Remember this for what it was.
