Thick And Thin – LANY
Late night
Your eyes fell to the floor
I'm trying to make sense
But you're losing your patience
Hands talk won't stop
We go to war
In the heat of the moment
You think that we're broken
I could see my whole life with you baby
Now you got me thinking that I'm crazy
Cause you're
Out the door
Just one mistake
You say you're not in love no more
But was it really love
If you can leave me for
Something so innocent
Is this the end
Thought you'd be there through thick and thin
Can't sleep can't eat
My mind's a mess
What are you thinking
You were happy last weekend
All the good times
How'd you forget
I was your best friend yeah
Remember when you said
You could see your whole life with me baby
Now you got me thinking that I'm crazy
Cause you're
Out the door
Just one mistake
You say you're not in love no more
But was it really love
If you can leave me for
Something so innocent
Is this the end
Thought you'd be there through thick and thin
Thought you'd be there through thick and thin
Thought you'd be there through thick and thin
Thought you'd be there through thick and thin
Said you'd be there for me through everything
Said that you'd have my back with anything
Said you'd be there for me through everything
Said that you'd have my back with anything
Now you're out the door
Just one mistake
You say you're not in love no more
But was it really love
If you can leave me for
Something so innocent
Is this the end
Is this the end
Thought you'd be there through thick and thin
Out the door
Just one mistake
You say you're not in love no more
But was it really love
If you can leave me for
Something so innocent
Is this the end
Is this the end
Thought you'd be there through thick and thin
Said you'd be there for me through everything
Said that you'd have my back with anything
Said you'd be there for me through everything
Said that you'd have my back with anything
LANY演唱的这首《Thick And Thin》发行于2018年9月12日,收录于乐队的第二张录音室专辑《Malibu Nights》中。这首歌曲由乐队主唱Paul Klein联手歌手Sasha Alex Sloan等人共同创作,延续了LANY标志性的朦胧电子音效与抒情流行风格,并在经典的80年代复古合成器铺垫下,营造出浓郁的怀旧氛围。
在创作背景上,整张《Malibu Nights》专辑都是主唱Paul Klein在经历一段深刻的恋情结束后,为了处理情感创伤而创作的心碎之作。《Thick And Thin》作为专辑的首发单曲,正是这种痛彻心扉的真实写照。歌曲的创作灵感直接来源于一段真实感情的破裂,Paul Klein将自己在分手后的困惑、心碎与自我怀疑,全部融入了这首时长3分多钟的旋律之中。
在表达含义上,这是一首关于“承诺落空”与“真心错付”的悲伤独白。歌曲的核心标题“Thick And Thin”源自英语习语“through thick and thin”,意为“风雨同舟、同甘共苦、至死不渝”。歌词以深夜的一场激烈争吵为切入点,描绘了恋人因为一个看似微不足道的错误(Just one mistake)就决然提出分手、摔门而去的场景。
歌曲最令人心碎的部分在于强烈的反差感:主人公原本以为对方会是自己“至死不渝”的伴侣,曾无数次畅想过与对方共度余生的画面,甚至视对方为最好的朋友。然而,对方却轻易地否定了过去所有的美好时光,让主人公陷入了“我是不是疯了”的自我怀疑与寝食难安的痛苦中。歌词反复质问“But was it really love? If you can leave me for something so innocent”(如果因为这点小事你就要离开,这真的算爱吗?),深刻地揭示了在不对等的感情中,一方早已蓄谋离开,而另一方却还在傻傻坚守承诺的残酷现实。整首歌用复古浪漫的合成器音色,包裹着一个关于信任崩塌与深情被辜负的悲伤内核。
