Taylor Swift - The Archer 戰

Taylor的新歌帶點復古氣息

起初覺得平平淡淡

一看歌詞才發現

最深的情緒都在字裡行間

Combat, I'm ready for combat

硬戰，我已準備好背水一戰

I say I don't want that, but what if I do?

嘴上說不想戰，若是我其實真心想要？

Cause cruelty wins in the movies

電影中正不勝邪

I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you

多少次差點在你面前叫囂喊話

Easy they come, easy they go

他們來來去去

I jump from the train, I ride off alone

我跳下車，獨自離開

I never grew up, it's getting so old

永遠長不大，重蹈覆轍

Help me hold on to you

請拉我一把

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

有時攻而有時守

Who could ever leave me, darling

親愛的，誰離開了

But who could stay?

又還有誰願意留下？

Dark side, I search for your dark side

黑暗面，尋找你的黑暗面

But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?

若是一切安好，且就在此呢？

And I cut off my nose just to spite my face

一時和自己過不去

Then I hate my reflection for years and years

事後後悔多年

I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost

半夜驚醒，徘徊如鬼

The room is on fire, invisible smoke

房間著火，煙霧無形

And all of my heroes die all alone

我的英雄一一倒下

Help me hold on to you

請拉我一把

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

曾是進攻者也曾是犧牲品的我

Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling

大叫著：親愛的，誰離開了

But who could stay?

但留下的還有誰？

(I see right through me, I see right through me)

(我終於看透，終於看透了)

Cause they see right through me

他們看透了我

They see right through me

他們看透了我

They see right through

看透了

Can you see right through me?

你是否能識破

They see right through

他們看透了

They see right through me

他們看透了我

I see right through me

一切終於明瞭

I see right through me

再清楚不過了

All the king's horses, all the king's men

再多的援兵

Couldn't put me together again

也幫不了我

Cause all of my enemies started out friends

因為朋友各個化為敵人

Help me hold on to you

請你別放手

I've been the archer, I've been the prey

拉弓開戰的我也曾淪落為犧牲品

Who could ever leave me, darling

親愛的，誰離開了我

But who could stay?

剩下的還有誰呢？

(I see right through me, I see right through me)

(我看穿了自己，看清了一切)

Who could stay?

誰還能留下？

Who could stay?

誰願意留下？

Who could stay?

有誰願意留下？

You could stay

你可以留下

You could stay

你可以留下

Combat, I'm ready for combat

硬戰，準備好背水一戰

這首歌一釋出便有許多人跳出來分析歌詞，解釋副歌的前兩句是情場如戰場的比喻，然而我覺得以歌詞女王的實力，寓意應該不僅於此，或許同時指的也是社交或生意上的爭執，畢竟這幾年一波未平一波又起，應該不太好過。這一次，即使僅剩幾個支持她的人，她已經準備好奮力一戰！
