《Lover》新專輯的第一首歌「 I Forgot That You Existed」,認真邊聽邊看歌詞後,終於get到為何這首歌要擺在專輯第一首。
(個人淺見) 我覺得這是Taylor在正式宣告 「過去的鳥事 Bye~」
也是正式和上一張專輯 Reputation 做個分界線,因為以前遇到的糟糕人事物,老娘早就把你們都忘光了哈哈哈哈哈哈!
我看到有人認為這是寫給 Calvin Harris ???? 確實是蠻有可能的,
但主要副歌(Chorus)應該是在指過去的鳥事(不管是Calvin.Kanye之類的),
整首歌像是在說「我們以前關係很好,但我看透了,所以我把你們忘光,我也根本不在意了」
以下翻譯我不太想帶到戀愛類字眼,因為我覺得這不只是在寫分手後的戀愛關係。
Taylor Swift – I Forgot That You Existed
「泰勒絲 – 我忘記有你這個人了」
[Verse 1]
How many days did I spend thinking
我花了多少日子總是在想
‘Bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?
你對我做錯了什麼事?
Lived in the shade you were throwing
我活在你帶給我的陰影裡
‘Til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone
直到我看不見所有陽光和希望
And I couldn’t get away from ya
而且我沒辦法擺脫你
In my feelings more than Drake, so yeah
我的情感是如此地深
(*註: “In my feelings”是Drake的熱門歌曲,在表達對愛人的深刻情感,Taylor在這邊玩雙關)
Your name on my lips, tongue-tied
你的名字緊緊繫在我的唇上
Free rent, living in my mind
而你一直佔據了我的腦袋
(*註: Living rent free 指的是總是在一直想這件事)[Pre-Chorus]
But then something happened one magical night
但是在一個神奇夜晚,有件事情發生了!
[Chorus]
I forgot that you existed
我忘記了你的存在
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn’t
我原本以為我會難受到想死,但其實一點都沒有
And it was so nice
實際上這超讚!!!!!
So peaceful and quiet
多麽平和和寧靜
I forgot that you existed
我忘記了你的存在
It isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference
這無關愛恨情仇,因為我毫不在意了
I forgot that you
我只是把你給忘了 (哈哈哈哈哈)
[Verse 2]
Got out some popcorn 你拿出爆米花來看戲
As soon as my rep started going down, down, down
來看當我的名譽降到谷底
Laughed on the school yard
你在校園裡捧腹大笑
As soon as I tripped up and hit the ground, ground, ground
來笑我絆倒並跌倒在地
And I would’ve stuck around for ya
而我會環繞在你身旁
Would’ve fought the whole town, so yeah
我為你們對抗整個村莊
Would’ve been right there, front row
我會坐在舞台的最前方
Even if nobody came to your show
即使根本沒有人來看你的表演
[Pre-Chorus]
But you showed who you are, then one magical night
而你展露出了最真實的你,所以在那個奇幻夜晚….
[Chorus]
I forgot that you existed
我忘記有你的存在了!!!
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn’t
我原本以為我會難受到想死,但其實一點都沒有!
And it was so nice
實際上這超讚!
So peaceful and quiet
多麽和平和寧靜
I forgot that you existed
我忘記有你的存在
It isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference
這無關愛恨,而是我根本不在乎了!
I forgot that you
我忘記了你這個人了
[Bridge]
Sent me a clear message
你傳了澄清的簡訊給我
Taught me some hard lessons
還想指導我艱深的課題
I just forget what they were
但我早就忘光了這些事
It’s all just a blur
我記憶只是模糊了[Chorus]
I forgot that you existed
因為我忘記了你的存在
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn’t
我原本以為我會難受到想死,但其實一點都沒有
And it was so nice
老天這超美好!
So peaceful and quiet
我心情很平靜
I forgot that you existed
我忘記了有你這個人
I did, I did, I did
對啦我忘光了(哈哈哈)
It isn’t hate, it’s just indifference
我不恨你,因為我毫不關心
It isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference
無關愛恨,因為我一點也不在乎了!
So, yeah
所以,就這樣哈哈哈
*若要轉載,請註明 秘密反思Secret Reflection,並留言告訴我吧❤️
真的很喜歡這類反諷的歌詞???? 就像上一張專輯的This is why we can’t have nice things
其實我覺得這首歌應該也是在reputation時期寫的 (吧)
只是編曲編排和樂器使用不同,因為我總感覺詞曲風格蠻像的????
但把I Forgot That You Existed拿到新專輯,並放在第一首歌,是一個很棒的選擇!
代表著 NEW ERA 新的開始!過去的事情 Taylor 早就不在意了~
