Miley Cyrus的歌曲《Before The Storm – duet with Jonas Brothers》反映了两位歌手在经历了一段关系的风暴后的心情。这首歌探讨了他们之间的关系如何从最初的简单美好逐渐走向破裂,表达了对过去的怀念和对未来的不确定。
第一节:
I know this isn't what I wanted
Never thought it'd come this far
Just thinking back to where we started
And how we lost all that we are
这一节中,歌手表达了对当前状况的失望和对过去美好时光的回忆。他们意识到现在的状态并不是自己所期望的,并且对于关系走到这一步感到意外。
副歌:
And I don't want to lose her
I don't want to let her go
I'm standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold her
Like I did before the storm
副歌部分强烈地表达了歌手不愿放弃这段感情的愿望。他们在雨中等待一个答案,想知道这段关系是否真的结束了。同时,他们也感受到了巨大的痛苦,知道自己可能再也无法像以前那样拥抱对方。
第二节:
With every strike of lightning
Comes a memory that lasts
And not a word is left unspoken
As the thunder starts to crash
这一节通过闪电和雷声的意象,暗示了每一个瞬间都唤起了长久的记忆。同时,雷声的开始也意味着所有的话都已经说尽,没有留下任何未表达的情感。
副歌重复:
And maybe I should give up
Standing out in the rain
I need to know if it's over
Cause I will leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold her
Like I did before the storm
再次重复副歌部分,强调了歌手内心的挣扎和痛苦,以及他们需要一个明确的答案来决定下一步该怎么做。
桥段:
Trying to keep the light from going out
And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart
They always say a heart is not home
Without the one
Who gets you through the storm
这一部分表达了歌手试图留住希望之光,不让心中的伤痛进一步加剧。同时,也表达了没有对方,内心就无法找到归属感。
结尾:
Standing out in the rain
Knowing that it's really over please don't leave me alone
Flooded with all this pain
Knowing that I'll never hold you
Like I did before the storm
结尾部分再次强调了歌手站在雨中的无助和绝望,他们已经意识到这段关系真的结束了,但仍然希望能够得到对方的陪伴,不再感到孤独。
