Back to Basic – Christina Aguilera @強生與小吠的Hyper人蔘~

這首Enter the circus + Welcome是一首組曲
收錄在Back to Basic專輯CD2的前兩首歌
歌曲音樂元素豐富
歌詞句句到位
裏面最震撼我的幾句話:

Do you want to be widely entertained?
(你想被盡興的款待/娛樂嗎?)
People to know your name?
(誰知道你的名字嗎?)
I ask you, do you want to come and play?
(我問你,想不想來一起玩?)

這3句話就足以讓我皮膚起雞皮疙瘩
套一句星光大道張宇老師的話
這3句我想就是這首組曲的勾子
深深勾住我的耳朵

看完此MV就覺得寫這歌的人對人生的體驗應該很豐富
似乎想把演藝圈黑暗的一面
用最黑色幽默的方式呈現出來
其實, 我想不只也是演藝圈
同樣在我喜歡看的WWE裡面
雖然光鮮亮麗的舞台上
是有好萊塢臉龐的俊男美女
他們有最好的訓練設備
最好的舞台安排
最讚的導演和編劇
以及精彩奪目的燈光設計+音樂搭配
但也有人使用steroid (禁藥)來讓自己更快、更狠、更壯!
下場是爆斃旅館讓粉絲痛心
在我看WWE 10年的日子裡, 已經看過2個我最喜歡的人死掉了 🙁
其中一個還殺了老婆, 勒斃小孩,然後自殺
因為他知道, 服用了禁藥,已經到了無可自拔的地步,
身體會一天不如一天快速老化而死

人生就是如此
我是覺得不要想當舞台的焦點
只要做好自己該做的本分就好
而想要一步登天的想法
還是早早放棄
否則只會摔得更慘更碎

不過,人生就是一場戲
你看我,我看你
看看現今的社會
出賣靈魂的事情
是每天都在上演

是阿,想讓自己更快飛得更高
卻跌的更深
歌詞:

Is it all blue skies

(難道就雨過天晴?)

Fun and games untill you fall

(跌到之前的遊戲而已)

Then you're left without anyone at all

(然後沒有人會理會你)

You're riding on a shooting star

(你正搭上一顆發光發熱的星)

With a smile upon your face

(你臉上有著笑容)

But soon the shine fades

(但很快的光芒將滅)

歌詞寫的很白很直接

但千金難買早知道的故事
也看了不想看了

世界本是充斥著邪惡,evil,
只是,
想Back to Basic, 回到最初
我看沒有多少人會真的想去體會

呵呵……………

Enter the Circus歌詞
Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls
Step right up, step right up
Come closer, you won't believe your eyes
Behind this curtain,
Witness something you've never seen before,
Heard before, dreamt before
The most amazing show on earth

La la la la la la la
It's the most amazing show on earth
La la la la la la la

Do you want to be widely entertained?
People to know your name?
Do you crave fame?
Well they say “things aren't always what they seem to be”
Even your greatest fantasies
You won't believe your eyes
Won't even recognise
The wonderment that lies
Behind the shimmer and the lights

Is it true what they say?
Is it all just fun and games?
Or is there more behind the makeup,
And the faces full of paint?

I ask you, do you want to come and play?
Hahahaha
Get the world to come and play
Hahahaha

So sit back, relax, fasten your seatbelts
It's going to be a bumpy ride to the other side

Welcome歌詞
Woah, ohh

Welcome to the greatest show
Greatest show on earth
You've never seen before
Here the fairytale unfolds

What's behind the smoke and glass?
Painted faces, everybody wears a mask
Are you selling them your soul?
Well you'll be left out in the cold

Is it all blue skies
Fun and games untill you fall
Then you're left without anyone at all
You're riding on a shooting star
With a smile upon your face
But soon the shine fades

And you're left out all alone
Wondering where did they all go?
Oooh

Been jaded, hated,
Who'll be around when the limelight's faded?
Been shut down, pushed out
Made to smile when I wanted to frown

Always taking a bow
Always working the crowd
Always breaking new ground
Always playing the clown
Who'll be sticking it out?
Who'll be staying around
When the lights go down?
