《Powerless》的詞曲由聯合公園(Linkin Park)的團員們共同完成,以下是部分歌詞:
I'm standing on the edge of a cliff 我站在懸崖的邊緣
Watching the world below disappear 看著下面的世界漸漸消失
Every breath I take feels like a scream 每呼吸一次都像在尖叫
Every punch, every slam, makes me feel alive 每拳揮出,每碰撞一次,讓我感到活著
Chorus: 副歌
Powerless, I'm losing sleep 無力掙扎,我徹夜無眠
Under the covers, trying to hide 躲在被子裡,試圖躲藏
In the dark, I count the days 黑暗中,我數著日子過
Trying to find a way 試圖找到出路
I'm looking for a new direction 我正在尋找新的方向
Trying to figure out what's wrong 試圖找出問題所在
All I know is everything is pain 所有的事物都帶來痛苦
So I stay up all night 我整夜未眠
Verse 2: 副歌
I feel so lost in a crowd 我感到自己如此迷茫在人海中
Every second that I have to grow 我每刻都在成長
It's a mystery, what I'll become 一個謎團,未來的我會如何
Trying to make sense of all this time 試圖理解這段時間的意義
Chorus: 副歌
Powerless, I'm losing sleep 無力掙扎,我徹夜無眠
Under the covers, trying to hide 躲在被子裡,試圖躲藏
In the dark, I count the days 黑暗中,我數著日子過
Trying to find a way 試圖找到出路
Bridge: 橋段
All the times I let you down 所有我讓你失望的時候
All the reasons I was so untrue 所有我不真誠的原因
I was looking for a new excuse to run 我正在尋找一個逃跑的新藉口
But now I realize 但現在我意識到
Chorus: 副歌/尾奏:重複副歌+橋段+副歌
I'm powerless, I'm powerless 我無力掙扎,我無力掙扎
I'm powerless without you 沒有你,我無力掙扎。
I'm powerless, it's all true 我無力掙扎,這都是真的。
All my life, you'll be my guiding light 我一生都將受你的指引之光引導。
(Repeat Chorus x2)(重複副歌兩遍)
