"I think that when you do this, you have to find a way to live with yourself, because it’s not making no one feel anything. A handful of people will listen to this album and have it sort of get them [in the gut].

But it was important for me to say. And I don’t think that song is apologising for it. It’s more like, what did you think was going to happen? I was doing this before I met you and I’ll be doing this after you’re gone… I felt quite empowered.

It was weird, I woke up in the middle of the night and was lying next to someone. And I wrote it down on my phone and I was like, ‘Oh God, I feel so naughty writing this!’ While somebody’s sleeping, like an evil witch. But I really love that song. I feel like it’s such a cool, painful moment in the record."-------Lorde

 

「我覺得,當你下定決心(放手)時,就必須得開始學著與自己相處了,因為沒有人會為了這些事去放棄所有感受。所以有些人會去聽這張專輯,讓音樂去觸碰自己[內心最柔軟的部分]。對我來說,能把心中感受說出來才是最重要的,但我並不認為這首歌是關於"道歉",比較像是..."你覺得之後會怎樣呢? 我在遇見你之前就開始寫歌,在你離開之後我還是會做一樣的事"...頓時我覺得自己精神百倍。」

「這蠻奇怪的...當時我在半夜醒來,有個人睡在我旁邊,然後我用手機寫下這首歌,然後我就像是..."喔天啊,我突然覺得寫下這些東西還蠻壞的哈哈",突然感覺自己像是個看著別人睡覺的邪惡女巫! 講真的,我很愛這首歌,因為我覺得這是專輯中代表冷酷及痛苦的時刻。」

 

Melodrama中,這首跟Liability應該算是最能讓人直接感受到情緒的歌曲,光聽副歌,我就真的有感受到那種撕心裂肺的感覺,畢竟對於一個重感情的人來說,放手永遠都是最困難的。另外一個有感的是,這首歌是在手機上寫下,這也令我想到自己之前也會在心情不好時,用手機或電腦po一些類似詩或是歌詞的東西抒發心情,當然文筆、品質方面肯定是遠遠不及人家這種創作型的歌手,但在寫完之後,心情是真的會好很多,所以我大概能理解,Lorde為何會說自己很愛這首歌,因為這方面我算是蠻感同身受的。

Writer in the Dark  在黑暗中寫歌的我

 

Break the news - you're walking out

To be a good man for someone else

Sorry I was never good like you

Stood on my chest and kept me down

Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd

Did my best to exist just for you

 

但壞消息是:你忿忿地走出門口

準備為了下一個”她”,重新做個好男人

 

真不好意思啊,原來我不夠”好”,配不上你

 

我胸口堵塞,心情總是鬱悶不已

但台下那些觀眾的噁心嘴臉,卻還一直呼喊著我的名字

 

於是我推掉這些鳥事,只為了多陪你一點

 

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

 

我敢打賭這時的你,會因為親了一位…躲在黑暗中寫歌的人,而後悔不已

我敢打賭這時的你,會因為親了一位…躲在黑暗中寫歌的人,而後悔不已

而她,現在要準備放縱狂歡,並把你鎖在心底某個角落

 

於是,你會為了這一個吻,感到後悔不已

 

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power

I'll find a way to be without you, babe

 

因為我會跟我媽媽一樣,一直愛著一個人,直到嚥下最後一口氣為止

那愛意瘋狂到,你想趕快報警把我抓起來

 

就在我們關係最黯淡的時候,某個神祕力量將我擊倒

寶貝啊…我想我最好趕快找個方法忘記你

 

I still feel you, now and then

Slow like pseudo-ephedrine

When you see me, will you say I've changed?

I ride the subway, read the signs

I let the seasons change my mind

I love it here since I've stopped needing you

 

我內心裡,不時還有你的存在

那種感覺,就像嗑了興奮劑一樣…

 

當你再次見到我時,會不會說自己有改過自新了呢?

 

我搭著地鐵,讀著那些琳瑯滿目的號誌

隨著季節更迭,我調整自己的想法與心情

等到我愛上這個城市時,你也就不再重要了

 

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

 

我敢打賭這時的你,會因為親了一位…躲在黑暗中寫歌的人,而後悔不已

我敢打賭這時的你,會因為親了一位…躲在黑暗中寫歌的人,而後悔不已

而她,現在要準備放縱狂歡,並把你鎖在心底某個角落

 

而現在,你會為了這一個吻,感到後悔不已

 

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power

I'll find a way to be without you, babe

 

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops

I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power

I'll find a way to be without you, babe

 

因為我會跟我媽媽一樣,一直愛著一個人,直到嚥下最後一口氣為止

那愛意瘋狂到,你想趕快報警把我抓起來

 

就在我們關係最黯淡的時候,某個神祕力量將我擊倒

寶貝啊…我想我最好趕快找個方法忘記你

 

我會跟我媽媽一樣,一直愛著一個人,直到嚥下最後一口氣為止

那愛意瘋狂到,你想趕快報警把我抓起來

 

就在我們關係最黯淡的時候,某個神祕力量將我擊倒

寶貝啊…我想我最好趕快找個方法忘記你…

 

 

*pseudoephedrine:偽黃麻鹼,主要是一種興奮劑,但它更主要被用作鼻黏膜減充血劑。它能減緩組織充血、水腫、由感冒或過敏引起的鼻塞等症狀。偽麻黃素的其它一些效用包括加快鼻竇分泌物的排放,減緩耳咽管的堵塞等。而它收縮血管的作用會帶來高血壓,這也被認為是偽麻黃素的副作用之一。(摘自維基)

*距離上篇文大概4個月有了,印象中之前翻Pure Heroine時,沒有這麼長的間隔,都是一股作氣完成,這跟我工作忙及懶病發作有一點關係,但最關鍵的,還是粉絲專頁的經營。當我發現在專頁可以分享更多東西之後,幾乎就是全心投入在那裡,部落格這邊就變成只是偶而看看動態而已,畢竟要兼顧真的很難,至於現在,我決定將計畫持續下去!
