Talking to Yourself – Carly Rae Jepsen
Lyrics by：Carly Rae Jepsen/Ryan Rabin/Benjamin Berger/Simon Wilcox
Composed by：Carly Rae Jepsen/Ryan Rabin/Benjamin Berger/Simon Wilcox
I was always invisible
Consequences are difficult to face
Could’ve been something beautiful
But you made it impossible to stay
So tell me what you got on your mind
What you got on your mind what you got on your mind
Am I keeping you up at night
Keeping you up at night
I’ll never let you be no
Are you thinking of me when you’re with somebody else
Do you talk to me when you’re talking to yourself
Are you reaching for me making love to someone else
Do you talk to me
To me
When you’re talking to yourself self
When you’re talking to your talk to me
To me
When you’re talking to yourself
You were never just miserable
Without taking me with you all the way
Don’t it hit you subliminal
Now that I’m not the only one who’s taking the blame
So tell me what you got on your mind
What you got on your mind what you got on your mind
Am I keeping you up at night
Keeping you up at night
I’ll never let you be no
Are you thinking of me when you’re with somebody else
Do you talk to me when you’re talking to yourself
Are you reaching for me making love to someone else
Do you talk to me
To me
When you’re talking to yourself self
When you’re talking to your talk to me
To me
When you’re talking to your
Are you thinking of me
Does it kill you that you’re thinking of me
Are you thinking of me when you’re with somebody else
Do you talk to me when you’re talking to yourself
Are you reaching for me making love to someone else
Do you talk to me
To me
When you’re talking to yourself self
When you’re talking to your talk to me
To me
When you’re talking to yourself self
When you’re talking to your talk to me
To me
When you’re talking to yourself
这首由加拿大流行天后Carly Rae Jepsen（卡莉·蕾·吉普森）演唱的《Talking to Yourself》，发行于2022年9月16日，作为她第五张录音室专辑《The Loneliest Time》的第三支先行曲正式上线。作为一首极具80年代复古风情的合成器流行单曲，它用轻快跳跃的旋律搭配犀利又略带自嘲的歌词，生动演绎了一段感情结束后，内心依然无法放下的纠结与拉扯。
《Talking to Yourself》由Carly Rae Jepsen联手Ryan Rabin、Benjamin Berger和Simon Wilcox共同创作。这首歌的诞生，源于卡莉在制作专辑期间一次有趣的心境与风格大转向。
在筹备这张专辑的初期，卡莉原本打算制作一张名为《Disco Sweat》的专辑，主打低调的迪斯科和“客厅舞会”风格。但后来她彻底改变了方向，将这张专辑定名为《The Loneliest Time》（最孤独的时光），开始细致地审视孤独这一命题。《Talking to Yourself》正是这一时期的产物，卡莉曾幽默地将其称为一首“不是不是复仇歌曲”（not not a revenge song）。它没有走向苦大仇深的控诉，而是用一种充满合成器质感的冰冷与俏皮，讲述了在太晚的时候离开某人后，对方依然想要更多的那种微妙心理。
《Talking to Yourself》表面上是一首让人忍不住跟着抖腿的复古流行金曲，但其内核却是一场关于分手后心理博弈的深度剖析。
歌曲最核心的表达含义，在于戳破了分手后那种“假装不在意”的假象。歌词开篇就坦言“I was always invisible”（我曾经总显得无影无形），道出了在一段关系中曾经被忽视的委屈。但副歌部分笔锋一转，主人公开始强势发问：“Are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?”（当你和别人在一起的时候你会想起我吗？）。
整首歌最精彩、也最耐人寻味的地方，在于那句反复吟唱的“Do you talk to me when you're talking to yourself?”（当你看似自言自语，是否也在与我交谈？）。这不仅是一句犀利的质问，更是一种带着傲娇的试探。主人公明知感情已经结束，却依然忍不住去揣测前任的内心：当你深夜辗转反侧、当你独自喃喃自语时，脑海里浮现的那个人是不是我？
歌词中那句“I'll never let you be, no!”（我永远也不会那样对你啊/我绝不会轻易放过你），更是将这种微妙的报复心理展现得淋漓尽致。它不是恶意的伤害，而是一种“既然你当初不懂得珍惜，现在也别想轻易解脱”的情感拉扯。《Talking to Yourself》之所以能引发广泛共鸣，正是因为它用最欢快的曲调，唱出了分手后那种“明明很在意却不得不假装洒脱”的复杂心境，精准捕捉了当代人在感情中那种欲擒故纵、自我博弈的真实状态。
