기분이 안좋거나 뭔가 파괴하고 싶은 욕구가 꿈틀거릴때 듣는 음악이 있습니다. 주로 헤비메탈이나 시끄러운 rock인데요. 이 노래도 감정을 순화시켜주는데 꽤 효과가 있습니다. 헤드윅 OST 삽입곡 중에 'The origin of love' 라는 곡입니다. 최근에 우모의 MP3플레이어 단골 음악이라는...
노래 가사도 좋지만, 나즈막한 목소리에서 절정에 이르는 선율도 괜챦구요. 파괴적인 드럼소리도 끌립니다. 영화 속에 헤드윅이 이 노래를 부를 때의 느낌을 상상하면서 들으면 가사는 더욱 리얼하게 느껴지구요. 가사는 좀 긴데요. 곱씹어들으면 마치 서사시를 보는 듯한 사고의 깊이를 가지고 있습니다. 경계인 헤드윅이 보는 사랑과 성에 대한 관점, 그리고 분노가 잘 담겨져 있네요.
가사에 간혹 문법에 안맞는 부분이 보이는데요, 동베를린 이민자였던 헤드윅이라는 점을 감안하고 보시면 될 듯 싶습니다.
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
Now there was three sexes then
One that looked like two men glued up back to back
They called the children of the sun
And similar in shape and girth was the children of the earth
They looked like two girls rolled up in one
And the children of the moon
Looked like a fork shoved on a spoon
They was 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”
But Zeus said,
"No, You better let me
Use my lightning like scissors
like I cut the legs off the whales dinosaurs into lizards.”
"And then he grabbed up some bolts
He let out a laugh
Said,
“I’ll split them right down the middle gonna cut them right up in half.”
And the 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 to a hole
Pulled around to our bellies
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
A sea of tidal waves
To wash us all away
If we don't behave they'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping around on one foot
And looking through one eye
Last time I saw you
We just split in two
You was looking at me I was looking at you
You had a way so familiar,
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 my mine
That's the pain It cuts a straight line
Down through the heart
We called it love
We wrapped our arms around each other
Tried to shove ourselves back together
We was making love Making love
It was a cold dark evening Such a long time ago
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was a sad story
How we became Lonely two-legged creatures It’s the story of The origin of love
That’s the origin of love
Yeah, the origin of love
The origin of love
The origin of love
