原作詞:TEDDY, TAEYANG
⭐推薦程度:9/10
第二次寫關於Epik High 的歌曲了,很有趣的是兩首都是英文歌。雖然喜歡的歌曲很多,但是總是優先推薦他們的歌曲,究其原因在於,我是tablo的歌詞粉,雖然嚴格來說聽過、研究過的歌詞不多,但是就我所知範圍的歌詞,我都很喜歡,Epik High 鞋櫃這張專輯的歌詞我幾乎每首都看過好幾遍。
這次的Eyes, Nose, Lips,是yg 旗下藝人的合作企劃,原曲是bigbang 太陽唱的,我本身也滿喜歡原曲的,不過這次選擇介紹改編版本的原因,就是因為太喜歡tablo寫的歌詞了,覺得一定要為此寫一篇心得才行。
以我外行人的角度來看,利用嘻哈的形式去呈現一首原本是抒情風格的歌曲,在沒有大幅改編原曲的情況下,保留了原曲的概念,並賦予自己的風格,是很棒的改編。
除了歌詞之外,MV雖然只是為了cover所拍,幾乎沒有場景轉換,很單純的歌手在鏡頭前唱歌而已,但是這種黑白簡潔的風格,反而跟整首歌的氛圍很相襯,也是我自己覺得滿加分的地方。
與原曲同樣,歌詞都是在闡述分手後的情感,但是在情緒表達上tablo的英文歌詞以及詮釋中,卻更有種明顯的「恨」在裡頭,我覺得這樣的改編,與原曲兩相比較,也非常有趣,可以與實際分手時的感情變化做連結。
而我個人會想推薦這首歌的一大原因,也是因為歌詞本身的文學性,比喻、用字遣詞、用韻都十分巧妙,雖然英文歌詞的寫作者(也就是歌手tablo)本身是韓國人,但是他的創作實力(包含英文、韓文)都毋庸置疑,甚至我也是透過這次心得寫作,才知道他有出版的書籍。
歌詞中有好幾句我很喜歡的歌詞,雖然我英文不太好,但是就我的程度能夠感受到的美感,與他創作的巧妙,已經讓我印象很深刻了。
My knees are burning hot, but God is cold
我的膝蓋灼熱,但上帝卻如此冷漠(自翻)
透過冷熱的兩相對比,讓詞中人跪地向天祈求卻遲遲得不到回應的故事感躍然紙上,句子也沒有使用特別艱澀的單字或是複雜的文法,可是就是讓整個歌曲都有了一個想像的畫面。
另外一句我很喜歡的句子是
So take it slow and let time heal everything
They say that time flies, but you keep breaking its wings
所以放慢步調讓時間治癒一切,
人們說時光飛逝,你卻不斷將時間折翼(自翻)
都是簡單的句子,但是選詞用字就完全在不同等級,尤其這兩句的上下連結,先點出時間治癒一切、時光飛逝這兩個人們對於時光的評價,最後卻說你讓時間折翼。
讓似乎要好轉的心痛跟情境又再一次跌落谷底,兩句間的轉折非常巧妙。
最有趣的是,在中英文裡面,都有時間用「飛」一般的形容,雖然Tablo應該是不懂中文,但是這裡選擇「折翼」的方式去形容「你」對時間所做的事,就很有sense。
以上簡單舉了兩句我最有印象也最喜歡的歌詞,但整首歌詞都很值得看一下,在文章最後附上歌詞。
總體而言,從改編的詮釋、曲子,我都認為是很棒的作品,特別是重視歌詞文學性的人,很推薦聽一下這首歌!(英文能力不足的可以看一下中譯,雖然是翻譯過的,但是還是很有美感)
歌詞如下:
You left me paralyzed, no cure, no rehab for me
Funny that you got the nerve to keep asking me
How I’ve been
You’re the victor in this pageantry
But the only trophy you deserve, catastrophe
I’d rather we be dead to each other
No eulogies said for each other
No “Rest in Peace”s
The memories got my chest in pieces
I’m praying that your eyes are the first to go
The way they looked when you smiled
The way they opened and closed
And your nose, every single breath against my neck
And then your lips, every empty promise made and said
Please fade, fade to black
Please fade, fade to black
But the nightmares come back
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath
Every kiss still got me dying
Still got me crying
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath
Every kiss still got me dying
Still got me crying
Forget a promenade, let’s juggernaut
Down memory lane, leave no thought alive
To the slaughter house, I’m taking my pain
Time to sever my brain from my heart and soul
My knees are burning hot, but God is cold
I’ve been told, one day you’ll know
Too much of heaven’s a sin
After the show, it’s only hell that it brings
So take it slow and let time heal everything
They say that time flies, but you keep breaking its wings
You’ll never fade, fade to black
Please fade, fade to black
But the nightmares come back
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath
Every kiss still got me dying
Still got me crying
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath
Every kiss still got me dying
Still got me crying
You wish me well
You wish me well
I wish you hell
[Taeyang]
I never want to look into your eyes again
No, I never want to hear you breathe again
Let me go, let me go
Baby, tell me that it’s the end
[Tablo, Taeyang, Together]
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath
Every kiss still got me dying
Still got me crying
The tears drive me out of my mind
Because your eyes, nose, lips
Every look and every breath
Your kiss still got me dying
Still got me crying
Crying, crying
Fade out
