Never Is a Promise
You'll never see the courage I know
Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
I'll never glow the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still too proud to mention, to you
You'll say you understand
But you don't understand
You'll say you'll never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
You'll never touch these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You'll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown to you
You'll say "don't fear your dreams"
It's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
You'll never live this life that I live
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
You'll never hear the message I give
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention, to you
You'll say you understand
You'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in
You don't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie
Never is a Promise, Fiona Apple

第一次聽這首歌的時候,只覺得它酷到不行
但當看完歌詞重新又聽了一遍時,我卻差點為這個女孩心疼得湧出淚來
Never Is a Promise─「『永不』是一個承諾」,也有「永遠不要
承諾」的意思
因為看透了愛情的逐漸毀滅性,女孩將自己隔離,把身旁所有的人往遠
處推
甚至對一個想負擔她重量的人,她說你可知道那是一個你守不起的承
諾?
但在內心深處,女孩卻清楚的知道,她是深深愛著眼前這個人的
只是對於未知的將來她早已失去了信心,也實在沒有力氣再承受一次從
高處墜落
在一切開始之前就放棄,於是她選擇了自己哭泣。
這大概是最近令我最「有動於衷」的一首歌了吧
然而,我還是相信誓言的...
因為就算有一天那構成誓言的其中一個要素不在了,當下的美麗與認真
還是永遠不會散去的吧:)
