歌曲传达了当今社会人们对名利的渴望而造成的巨大压力以及人们应该从中摆脱回归自由。
所以说：生活无奈，难得糊涂呀。其实每个人对歌曲的理解都不一样的，中英文歌词：
歌名：Counting Stars
歌手：OneRepublic
Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be
对我们曾有过的愿景 浮想联翩
But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard
但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着
Said, no more counting dollars
祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中
We’ll be counting stars
我们可以细数满天繁星
Yeah, we’ll be counting stars
细数满天繁星 品味生活乐趣
I see this life like a swinging vine
生活就像一株跃动的藤蔓
Swing my heart across the line
长驱直入 激活我的内心
In my face is flashing signs
在我脸上 划过迹象
Seek it out and you shall find
遍寻之后 你能发现
Old, but I'm not that old
我虽上年纪 但不致老态龙钟
Young, but I'm not that bold
虽还年轻 却未必鲁莽失礼
And I don't think the world is sold
坚信这个世界美好如初
I'm just doing what we're told
我只是循规蹈矩地生活着
I, feel something so right Doing the wrong thing
惯于离经叛道中 体味心安理得
And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing
亦于按部就班中 痛感乏善可陈
I, could lie, could Iie, could lie
我欺骗过 伪装过 失真过
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
但置我于死地者 必将赐我以后生
Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be
对我们曾有过的愿景 浮想联翩
But baby, I’ve been, I’ve been praying hard,
但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着
Said, no more counting dollars
祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中
We’ll be counting stars
我们可以细数满天繁星
Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠
Dreaming about the things that we could be

但亲爱的 我早已在内心深处祈祷着
Said, no more counting dollars
祈祷自己不再迷失于金钱的追逐中
we’ll be,we’ll be counting stars
我们,我们可以细数满天繁星
I feel the love and I feel it burn
我感觉到爱火在胸中熊起
Down this river, every turn
于河流的每个迂回处翻腾
Hope is a four-letter word
希望只是个粗俗字眼
Make that money, watch it burn
身外之物 皆可抛却
Old, but I'm not that old
我虽上年纪 但未必老态龙钟
Young, but I'm not that bold
虽还年轻 却不致鲁莽失礼
I don't think the world is sold
坚信这个世界美好如初
I'm just doing what we're told
我只是循规蹈矩地生活着
I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing
亦于按部就班中 痛感乏善可陈
I could lie,could lie, could lie
我欺骗过 伪装过 失真过
Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly
但置我于低谷者 定能助我以崛起
Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep
最近我总是辗转反侧 难以入眠
