這首歌曲在講著 Demi Lovato 終於離開之前對她的生活嚴格控管的管理團隊,歌名 Melon Cake 也是來自這個團隊在她生日時會給她的西瓜 (watermelon) 做成的蛋糕 (cake) ,她說這個嚴格控制她的飲食的團隊,會切西瓜並在上面塗無熱量奶油,以代替一般的生日蛋糕。
歌詞中文翻譯
There was a time
曾經有段時間
I was livin’ as a prisoner inside my own mind
我活的像是被關在自己心裡的囚犯
And there was a time
而曾經有段時間
Where the cat and mouse tried to make me
貓和老鼠試圖要將我變成
Barbie-sized and I obliged
芭比身材,而我服從
Pulled leather over my eyes, in a hundred-degree heat
將皮革拉上我的雙眼,在一百度高溫中
People out here gettin’ fired for chocolate in the backseat (It’s a true story)
外面的人們因為後座的巧克力而被開除 (這是個真實故事)
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn’t cheap
我被填充了太多,而結果這代價高昂
People always hung around who only want it skin-deep
人們總是在那些只想膚淺來往的人身邊打轉
And now I’m sayin’ no more melon cakеs on birthdays
而現在我說,生日時不再有西瓜蛋糕了
No more barricades in doorways
門廊上不再有壁壘
Finally, get to do things my way
終於,可以用我的方式做事
Ah, la-la, la-la, la
You could find mе starvin’ for attention most days
你可能會看到我在大多數日子裡渴求著關注
Amongst other things, God help me
在其他日子哩,上帝幫助我
Finally, get to do things my way

Ah, la-la, la-la, la
No more melon cake

There was a time
曾經有段時間
I was pulled in all directions and forgot about mine
我被拉向各個方向而忘了我自己的方向
But I wouldn’t wish
但我不會希望
Those thoughts on my worst enemy, they make you wish you don’t exist
那些想法是我最糟的敵人,它們讓你希望你不存在
Pulled leather over my eyes, in a hundred-degree heat
將皮革拉上我的雙眼,在一百度高溫中
People out here gettin’ fired for chocolate in the backseat

I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn’t cheap
