Pure Heroine中少數超過四分鐘的歌曲
Lorde原先較為低沉的嗓音,到了副歌逐漸轉高,搭配類似福音的背景和聲
層層堆疊上去,像是隨著時間推移,時光跟著流逝一樣
即使不太願意面對,也得接受現實;但彼此之間的純真情誼,並不會因此消失
有了摯友的支持,其實長大也沒想像中可怖
可見,即使是Lorde這樣早熟的女孩子
對於心中曾經的那一塊純真還是念念不忘的
只可惜,物是人非
有幾個知心能陪伴你一直成長? 相信沒有多少
於是當你遇到這一類的朋友,就要加倍珍惜!
歌名Ribs直到歌曲後段才出現,在這裡又是個借喻
人隨著年紀增長,肋骨部分就會越變越硬,所以當笑得太用力時,就會引起肋骨部位疼痛
因此這裡應該是比喻為成長的痛苦和煩惱
而這是Lorde所不想要接受的一個成長"過程"
因為這樣代表,過去的美好時光是不可能再重來了...
Ribs 肋骨的痛
The drink you spilt all over me
'Lover's Spit' left on repeat
My mum and dad let me stay home
It drives you crazy, getting old
你的飲料潑在我身上
Lover’s Spit(註一)也不斷地播放著
爸媽讓我一個人顧家
我突然覺得:”長大”原來這麼刺激!
We can talk it so good
We can make it so divine
We can talk it good
How you wish it would be all the time
現在我們可以…
盡情談天說地
讓這派對變的超級棒
永遠這樣開開心心的多好!
The drink you spilt all over me
'Lover's Spit' left on repeat
My mum and dad let me stay home
It drives you crazy, getting old
The drink you spilt all over me
'Lover's Spit' left on repeat
My mum and dad let me stay home
It drives you crazy, getting old
你把飲料潑在我身上
Lover’s Spit也不斷地循環著
爸媽讓我一個人顧家
我突然覺得:”長大”原來這麼刺激!(X2)
This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're *reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone
It feels so scary, getting old
但是,現實並不向夢想那般甜美
就好似在午夜裡,走在沒有盡頭的街道上
感覺又寂寞又孤單
我突然覺得:”長大”原來這麼可怕。
We can talk it so good
We can make it so divine
We can talk it good
How you wish it would be all the time
現在我們可以…
盡情談天說地
讓這派對變的超級棒
永遠這樣開開心心的多好啊!
This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone
It feels so scary, getting old
This dream isn't feeling sweet
We're reeling through the midnight streets
And I've never felt more alone
It feels so scary, getting old
但是,現實並不像夢想那般甜美
就好似在午夜裡,走在沒有盡頭的街道上
感覺自己既寂寞又無助
這時我又覺得:”長大”這件事好恐怖。(X2)
I want them back
I want them back
The minds we had
The minds we had
How all the thoughts
How all the thoughts
Moved 'round our heads
Moved 'round our heads
好想重回那段純真的時光…
還有屬於我們的美好回憶…
這些天真的想法
不斷在腦海裡縈繞…
I want them back
I want them back
The minds we had
The minds we had
It's not enough to feel the lack
It's not enough to feel the lack
I want them back
I want them back
I want them…
好想重回那段純真的時光…
還有屬於我們的美好回憶…
因為心裡缺少的那一塊,很難彌補…
我想把它拿回來
好想…
You're the only friend I need
Sharing beds like little kids
And laughing 'til our ribs get tough(代表即使長大了,還是能像以前那樣開懷大笑)
But that will never be enough
You're the only friend I need
Sharing beds like little kids
And laughing 'til our ribs get tough
But that will never be enough
你就是我的唯一知心
我們可以像小孩子一樣,共享一張床
一起開心大笑,直到肋骨會痛為止
我希望能永遠這樣下去…
補充:
reel(v.)捲動;這裡指的是類似讓周遭景象不斷移動的動作
註一:Lover's Spit為加拿大獨立搖滾樂團Broken Social Scene的...應該算名曲吧,對這團也不熟悉:P
但是這首歌很好聽,聽起來有Coldplay經典"The Scientist"的那種感覺跟氛圍(但是歌詞尺度好...)
收錄於其2002年的專輯You Forgot It In People中
也收錄在電影"第三者"原聲帶中,正巧的是The Scientist也收錄在這張合輯中!!
