Baby really hurt me

寶貝我真的很受傷
Crying in the taxi

忍不住在計程車上哭了
He don't wanna know me

他不是真的想要認識我
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm

說在我生活的這團暴風中舞蹈是他最大的錯誤
Says it was poison

說這麼做是不健康的
So I guess I'll go home

我想我會回到家中
Into the arms of the girl that I love

回到那名我愛的女孩的擁抱中
The only love I haven't screwed up

那份我唯一還沒搞砸的愛
She's so hard to please

她不容易被取悅

But she's a forest fire

但她是場森林大火
I do my best to meet her demands

我盡最大的努力達到她的要求
Play at romance, we slow dance

做盡浪漫浪漫的事，我們跳著慢舞
In the living room, but all that a stranger would see

就在客廳中，那一名陌生人可以看到的就只是    
Is one girl swaying alone

一個女孩獨自搖擺著
Stroking her cheek

輕撫著     她的臉龐

They say, "You're a little much for me

他們對我說：「你對我來說有點太多了
You're a liability

你是個負擔
You're a little much for me"

你對我來說還沒那麼重要」
So they pull back, make other plans

所以收回原本的打算，重訂計畫
I understand, I'm a liability

我了解，我的確是個負擔
Get you wild, make you leave

讓你抓狂，逼你離去
I'm a little much for

我對每個人來說都太有點太多了
E-a-na-na-na, everyone

對每個人來說都像是個負擔

The truth is I am a toy

實情是我是個玩具
That people enjoy

取悅著人們
'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore

直到我的所有把戲都不再讓人感到有趣
And then they are bored of me

直到他們對我感到厭煩
I know that it's exciting

我知道這很刺激——
Running through the night, but

在夜色裡狂奔
Every perfect summer's

但每一個美好的夏夜回憶都——
Eating me alive until you're gone

讓我感到像被慢慢侵蝕般難受，感覺自己漸漸崩解，直到你們離開
Better on my own

獨自一人總是比較好
They say, "You're a little much for me

他們對我說：「你對我來說有點太多了
You're a liability

你是個負擔
You're a little much for me"

你對我來說還沒那麼重要」
So they pull back, make other plans

所以收回原本的打算，重訂計畫
I understand, I'm a liability

我了解，我的確是個負擔
Get you wild, make you leave

讓你抓狂，逼你離去
I'm a little much for

我對每個人來說都太有點太多了
E-a-na-na-na, everyone

對每個人來說都像是個負擔
 

They're gonna watch me

他們會靜靜地盯著我看
Disappear into the sun

看我消失的陽光中
You're all gonna watch me

你們會靜靜地盯著我看
Disappear into the sun

看我消失的陽光中
 

It was just this moment of sadness and I remember it so vividly.
I was in this cab alone listening to “Higher” by Rihanna
because ANTI had just come out. And I had a little cry and I was just like, “It’s always going to be this way, at some point with everyone it’s going to be this way.” But the song kind of ended up turning into a bit of a protective talismans for me. I was like, you know what, I’m always gonna have myself so I have to really nurture this relationship and feel good about hanging out with myself and loving myself. And the tone of the melody, the way it kind of falls around, it’s almost like it’s kind of drunk or it sort of leans around, it’s got this hip-hop cadence to it. -------Lorde
 

「那只是一時的悲傷但我對它的印象非常的深刻。
那個時候我一個人坐在計程車裡聽Rihanna 的 “Higher” 因為 ANTI 才剛發行。我稍微哭了一下因為我感覺像是：「事情總是會變成這樣，在某個臨界點人們都會變成這樣。」但對我來說那首歌最後變得有點像一個護身符。我就像是，你懂得，我一定要好好的培養跟自己的這段關係還有跟自己相處時感到愉快和愛著自己。那首歌旋律的語調、那種它有點還繞著你的感覺、那幾乎是有點喝醉和站不穩的感覺，有種hip-hop的韻律在裡面。」
