One of my favorite details is a firm indication for why this version of Steppenwolf works so much better than the Wheden version. When the innocent man tells Steppenwolf "Please! I have a family!" Joss's version of him says "Why does everybody keep telling me that?" which hammers home the idea that he's meant to be a heartless conquerer who doesn't care about anything beyond that and himself isn't anything beyond that. But in the Snyder cut he instead responds with "Then you have weakness." a simple line change that suggests that Steppenwolf understands what it's like to have a family and understands how much of a liability it is to be too attached. A simple line that implies history, and a lot of hard lessons Steppenwolf had to learn.
The lyrics is as beautiful as a poem, my translation can't express the connotation thoroughly , but I hope my translation can give you a general idea of the lyrics, 多想要找到一絲掙扎在你臉上 I want to find any struggles on your face. 可是你美得冷得淡得像月亮 But you are as beautiful , as cold as the moon. 等著你的那輛車 燈閃一下 Light sparkled from the car waiting for you. 像催你草草斷了我們的過往 Just like urge you to dispose our past carelessly. 約好要每年回到初擁吻的地方 We made an appointment to return the place we kissed first time every year. 劃一個記號寫下相戀的感想 Make a mark to write down the sentiments for love. 等明年我剩一個人 坐在堤防 When I am alone sitting on the dike next year, 該唱首什麼歌來紀念愛的傻 Which song should I sing for my silly love. 讓你逃亡 又讓你回航 Let you loose on escaping and coming back 讓你依賴 我也讓你倔強 Allow you to count on me, and allow you to be stubborn. 只要你微笑 帶一點感動淚光 我就得到可再給的力量 Your smiles with a little touching tears can boost me to devote again. 我讓你飛翔 又讓你說謊 I set you free and accept your lies. 我讓你苛求 我也讓你奢望 I give you everything you want. 我還以為愛 就是要體貼的退讓 I just thought love is to give way thoughtfully 我們一起蓋的羅馬 你卻跟他拆了城牆 We built Rome together, but you ruined the wall of castle with him. 踩過我用摯愛建築的天堂 Tramped the paradise I built with love 太絕對的愛 變成了活該 朋友要我責怪 Loving you in my own way have it coming. My friends told me to blame 我卻只想重來 也許這就叫愛 But what I thought is just to start again, perhaps this is so called love. 多少日子蓋的羅馬 你用一夜拆了城牆 We spent many days to build Rome, you just ruined it in one night. 踩碎我曾讓你棲息的胸膛 Crashed the chest you once rely on
