Dare To Love Me (Explicit) – Avril Lavigne (艾薇儿)
Lyrics by：Avril Lavigne
If you dare to love if you dare to love me
If you dare to love if you dare to love me
I try to let down my guard but I cover up my scars
Yeah there’s no denyin’
It’s not that I don’t care it’s just I’m f**kin’ scared
It’s terrifyin’
‘Cause I know it’s a slippery slope
But I don’t wanna give up hope
D**n why’s it gotta be this hard just to open up my heart
So don’t tell me that you love me if you don’t mean it
Don’t say another d**n word if you don’t believe it
Only tell me if you care tell me if you care
Tell me if you care
About me
Only tell me if you dare tell me if you dare
Tell me if you dare
If you dare to love me yeah
If you dare to love me
I’ve been goin’ way too hard for way too long
But I’ll keep on tryin’
I’ve been wishin’ on them stars but are they too far
Yeah are they still shinin’
I know it’s a slippery slope
Slope
But I don’t wanna give up hope
D**n why’s it gotta be this hard just to open up my heart
So don’t tell me that you love me if you don’t mean it
If you don’t mean it
Don’t say another d**n word if you don’t believe it
If you don’t believe it
Only tell me if you care tell me if you care
Tell me if you care
About me
Only tell me if you dare tell me if you dare
Tell me if you dare
If you dare to love me
If you dare to love me
Will you love me through the good and the bad
Would you understand
Stay hand in hand
Would you love me through the darkest of nights
Through our first fight stay by my side
Would you love me
Would you still love me
So don’t tell me that you love me if you don’t mean it
If you don’t mean it
And no don’t say another d**n word if you don’t believe it
If you don’t believe it yeah
Only tell me if you care tell me if you care
Tell me if you care
About me
Yeah
Only tell me if you dare tell me if you dare
Tell me if you dare
If you dare to love me
Through the good and the bad would you understand
If you dare to love me
Through the darkest of nights through our first fight
Oh if you dare to love if you dare to love me
If you dare to love if you dare to love me
一、创作背景
- 《Love Sux》：回归本真与情感释放
在经历多年健康挑战（如莱姆病）和音乐风格探索后，Avril 在《Love Sux》中选择“做回自己”——重拾 2000 年代初的流行朋克能量，但注入更成熟的视角。这张专辑被她称为“给自己的情书”，也是对真实情感关系的勇敢审视。 - 与制作团队的合作
《Dare To Love Me》由 Avril 与长期合作的词曲作者（如 John Feldmann、Mod Sun 等）共同创作。歌词中大量使用第一人称和内心独白，体现了她在录音室中刻意追求“不加修饰的真实”。 - 疫情时代的情感共鸣
歌曲创作于全球隔离与人际疏离的背景下。Avril 曾表示，那段时间让她重新思考“亲密关系”的意义——不是表面的浪漫，而是能否在彼此最脆弱时依然选择靠近。
二、歌词核心主题与表达含义
1. “爱需要勇气”——标题的深层含义
- 她不是在要求爱，而是在问：“你是否敢爱真实的我？包括我的恐惧、伤疤和不完美？”
- 歌词中反复强调：“Don’t tell me that you love me if you don’t mean it”（如果你不是真心，就别说爱我），凸显她对真诚的极度渴望。
2. 自我保护 vs. 渴望连接的矛盾
“I try to let down my guard but I cover up my scars”
“It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just I’m fin’ scared”
- 内心渴望被爱，但过去的伤害（“scars”）让人本能地筑起高墙；
- 恐惧再次受伤，所以宁愿先推开对方。
3. 对“无条件之爱”的试探
“Would you love me through the good and the bad?”
“Through the darkest of nights? Through our first fight?”
- 你爱的是我光鲜的一面，还是愿意陪我穿越低谷？
- 当激情褪去、矛盾出现，你是否依然选择留下？
4. “希望未灭”的倔强
“I know it’s a slippery slope, but I don’t wanna give up hope”
三、音乐与情绪的配合
- 编曲：强劲的吉他 riff、急促的鼓点营造出紧张感，呼应歌词中的焦虑与挣扎；副歌旋律却意外地开阔，象征“敞开心扉”后的释放。
- 演唱：Avril 的嗓音在克制（主歌）与爆发（副歌）间切换，精准传递从犹豫到呐喊的情绪递进。
四、总结：一首“反浪漫”的情歌
“你敢不敢爱一个会崩溃、会怀疑、会犯错的人？”
