pretty isn’t pretty 是收錄在專輯《GUTS》中的第十一首歌曲,歌詞裡講述了對外貌永無止境的追求所帶來的折騰與焦慮,特別是在這個世代裡覺得很值得我們好好咀嚼。
歌詞中文翻譯
Bought a bunch of makeup, tryna cover up my face
買了一堆化妝品,試圖遮蓋我的臉龐
I started to skip lunch, stopped eatin’ cake on birthdays
我開始跳過午餐,不再在生日上吃蛋糕
I bought a new prescription to try and stay calm
我買了新的處方試圖保持冷靜
‘Cause there’s always somethin’ missin’
因為總是缺少了甚麼東西
There’s always somethin’ in the mirror that I think looks wrong
每當我看像鏡子都覺得我哪裡不對
When pretty isn’t pretty enough, what do you do?
當漂亮還不夠漂亮,妳會怎麼做?
And everybody’s keepin’ it up, so you think it’s you
每個人都跟上了,所以你覺得是妳的問題
I could change up my body and change up my face
我可以改變我的身材改變我的臉
I could try every lipstick in every shade
我可以試過所有不同顏色的唇膏
But I’d always feel the same
但我卻總是感覺一樣
‘Cause pretty isn’t pretty enough
因為只有漂亮還不夠
You can win the battle, but you’ll never win the war
你可以贏得這次戰役,卻贏不了這場戰爭
You fix thе things you hated, and you’d still feel so insecure
你可以修補妳討厭的事物,但妳卻依舊會感到不安
And I try to ignorе it, but it’s everythin’ I see
我試圖忽視,但這就是我看到的一切
It’s on the poster on the wall, it’s in the shitty magazines
是牆上的海報、也在那些不怎麼樣的雜誌裡
It’s in my phone, it’s in my head, it’s in the boys I bring to bed
在我的手機裡、在我的腦海裡,在那些我帶上床的男孩身上
It’s all around, it’s all the time, I don’t know why I even try
無處不在、無時無刻、我不知道我為何還要努力
When pretty isn’t pretty enough, what do you do?
當漂亮還不夠漂亮,妳會怎麼做?
And everybody’s keepin’ it up, so you think it’s you
每個人都跟上了,所以你覺得是妳的問題
I could change up my body and change up my face
我可以改變我的身材改變我的臉
I could try every lipstick in every shade
我可以試過所有不同顏色的唇膏
But I’d always feel the same
但我卻總是感覺一樣
‘Cause pretty isn’t pretty enough
因為只有漂亮還不夠
And I bought all the clothes that they told me to buy
我買下了所有他們要我買的衣服
I chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life
我這一生都在追求一些愚蠢的理想
And none of it matters, and none of it ends
而沒有一件真的重要,沒有一件有盡頭
You just feel like shit over and over again
妳只是不斷地覺得自己很糟
No, it’ll never change
不,這從未改變
Pretty isn’t pretty enough, mmm
漂亮並不夠漂亮
Everybody’s keepin’ it up, oh
每個人都跟上了
Pretty isn’t pretty enough
漂亮並不夠
Pretty isn’t
漂亮並不夠
