Tapping into the pocket of sunlight.

不倦的机器节奏一样
Their regularity reassures us.

它们的一致性让我们安心
The tiniest hiccup throws us into disarray.

差之毫厘失之千里
The whole planet is attentive to these metronomes...

整个星球都关注这些
Of our hopes and illusions.

事关我们希望和幻想的节拍
The same hopes and illusions that proliferate along with our needs,

同样的希望和幻想随着我们的需求激增
Increasingly insatiable desires and profligacy.

日益增强的贪得无厌与浪费
We know that the end of cheap oil is imminent,

我们知道廉价的石油即将枯竭
But we refuse to believe it.

却拒绝相信
For many of us the American dream

对我们很多人来说
is embodied by a legendary name

美国梦就是一个传奇名字的化身
Los angeles.

洛杉矶
