歌词
Knew a boy once, when I was small
年幼懵懂之时 我认识了一个男孩
A tow-head blond, with eyes of salt
一个满眼忧郁的金发男孩
He played the drum in the marching band
他在军乐队里担任鼓手(Marching Band:军乐队/行进乐队,欧美校园传统,由学生参与组成,通常出席各大场合进行演奏)
His parents cared more about the Bible
比起关心自己的孩子
Than being good to their own child
他的父母更在意《圣经》上的记叙
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad
为了掩盖父亲虐待的伤痕 他总穿着长袖衣
后来啊 不知何故 我们失去了联系
And somehow, we fell out of touch
衷心祝愿他 能够摆脱困境 生活顺利(royal flush:同花顺,此处为隐喻。此句亦为Olivia Rodrigo整张专辑个人最喜欢的一句歌词)
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
来日方长 后会无期
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
若你仍囿于原地 祝愿你一切如意
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay
我的中学朋友独立长大
一手抚养着她的兄弟
My middle school friend grew up alone
她的父母厌恶她爱过的那个人(可能意指女孩是les)
She raised her brothers on her own
而她已等不及走出家门 奔赴大学
Her parents hated who she loved
她疲惫不堪 只因这个世界上
She couldn't wait to go to college
她与家人间仅有着血缘联系
She was tired 'cause she was brought
她不知道 我为她感到多么骄傲
Into a world where family was merely blood
为你与生俱有的能够忘记一切仇恨的勇气(可双重理解,一方面,Olivia为朋友能处理并超越仇恨而骄傲。另一方面,此句化用LGBT群体中“骄傲”的概念,Olivia为朋友的身份自信而骄傲)
虽然我们交流不多 但我还是想说
Does she know how proud I am she was created
“我想念你 祝愿你一切如意”
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
就让蝴蝶担任我的信使(蝴蝶意指希望、转变与重生,亦是歌曲key lyrics)
We don't talk much but I just gotta say
没有什么能够永存,世间无物的内在与它的表面一样光鲜
"I miss you, and I hope that you're okay"
当彤云蔽日
会有怪物潜入你的房子
Address the letters, to the holes in my butterfly wings
每一扇门都难以紧闭
Nothing's forever, nothing is as good as it seems
我希望你能知晓 我为你感到多么骄傲
And when the clouds are ironed out
为你与生俱有的能够忘记一切仇恨的勇气
And the monsters creep into your house
上帝保佑 我希望今天的你能够变得更加快乐
And every door is hard to close
因为我爱你 我希望你能够平安顺遂啊
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
God, I hope that you're happier today
'Cause I love you, and I hope that you're okay
