Never Gonna Not Dance Again (Explicit) – P!NK (红粉佳人)
Lyrics by:Alecia Moore/Shellback/Max Martin
Composed by:Alecia Moore/Shellback/Max Martin
If someone told me that the world would end tonight
You could take all that I got for once I wouldn’t start a fight
You could have my liquor take my dinner take my fun
My birthday cake my soul my dog take everything I love
But oh one thing I’m never gonna do
Is throw away my dancing shoes and
Oh lord don’t try me really not tonight
I’ll lay down and die I’ll scream and I’ll cry
We’ve already waste enough time
I’m never gonna not dance again
I’m never gonna not dance again
Oh I just wanna pop and lock to my records
There go all of my clothes
Never gonna not dance again
Oh
D-d-d-dance I’m gonna dance bruh
D-d-d-dance I’m gonna dance
I want my life to be a Whitney Houston song
I wanna dance
I got all good luck and zero ***** don’t care if I belong no
If I could kill the thing that makes us all so dumb
We’re never getting younger so I’m gonna have some fun
‘Cause oh one thing I’m never gonna do
Is throw away my dancing shoes and
Oh lord don’t try me really not tonight
I’ll lay down and die I’ll scream and I’ll cry
Know that I’m starting a fight
I’m never gonna not dance again
I’m never gonna not dance again
Oh I just wanna pop and lock to my records
There go all of my clothes
Never gonna not dance again
Oh
D-d-d-dance I’m gonna dance bruh
D-d-d-dance I’m gonna dance
D-d-d-dance I’m gonna dance yeah d-d-d-dance
I’ll lay down and die I’ll scream and I cry
You know that I’m starting a fight
Fight
I’ll lay down and die I’ll scream and I cry
We’ve already waste enough time
We’ve already waste enough time
I’m never gonna not dance again
I’m never gonna not dance again
Oh I just wanna pop and lock to my records
There go all of my clothes
Never gonna not dance again
Oh
I’m never gonna not dance again
I’m never gonna not dance again so let the music play ’til the end
I’m never gonna not dance again so let the music play ’til the end
I’m never gonna not dance again so let the music play ’til the end
I’m never gonna not dance again so let the music play ’til the end
I’m never gonna not dance again so let the music play ’til the end
I’m never gonna not dance again so let the music play ’til the end
《Never Gonna Not Dance Again》发行于2023年2月17日,是P!NK第十张录音室专辑《TRUSTFALL》中的核心曲目。这首歌由P!NK本人(本名Alecia Moore)与顶级音乐制作人Max Martin、Shellback联手打造。这张专辑的创作背景极其私人且深沉,整张作品不仅是对个人情感世界的深度剖析,更带有强烈的时代印记。专辑中收录了献给已故父亲的温情歌曲《When I Get There》,而《Never Gonna Not Dance Again》则延续了这种直面生命无常的态度,将其转化为一种向死而生的力量。
歌曲的核心意象“Dance(跳舞)”,在这里早已超越了肢体动作的范畴,它象征着一种不被外界定义的自我坚持,以及在混乱中寻找秩序与快乐的生存本能。整首歌的情感推进大开大合,主要传达了以下几层深意:
歌词开篇便勾勒出一幅极具戏剧张力的末日图景:“If someone told me that the world would end tonight, you could take all that I got... My birthday cake my soul my dog take everything I love.”(如果有人告诉我今夜世界将要终结,你可以拿走我的一切……我的生日蛋糕、我的灵魂、我的狗,拿走我挚爱的一切。)P!NK用一种近乎荒诞的幽默感,列举了自己愿意放弃的所有身外之物甚至情感寄托。然而,紧接着的一句“But oh one thing I'm never gonna do, is throw away my dancing shoes”(但唯有一件事我绝不会做,那就是扔掉我的舞鞋),瞬间确立了全曲的精神内核。哪怕天塌下来,她也要穿着舞鞋跳到最后一刻。这种“劝你不要试探我的底线,不然我会躺倒装死、大哭尖叫”的坦率与泼辣,正是P!NK独有的反叛魅力。
副歌部分贡献了全曲最令人热血沸腾的呐喊:“I just wanna pop and lock to my records, there go all of my clothes.”(我只想让音乐循环播放,就算赤身裸体我也要跳舞。)这里的“衣服飞走”并非单纯的色情暗示,而是一种极度夸张的艺术表达,象征着彻底卸下社会赋予的伪装、身份和束缚。在音乐响起的时刻,主角只想回归最原始、最纯粹的快乐,像没人看着一样尽情摇摆。“We've already wasted enough time”(我们已经浪费了太多时间),这句歌词直击当代人的痛点——在无尽的焦虑和内耗中,我们往往忽略了生命中最本真的愉悦。
“I want my life to be a Whitney Houston song.”(我梦想生活如同惠特妮·休斯顿的歌曲一般美妙。)P!NK在歌词中直接致敬了乐坛传奇Whitney Houston,表达了对那种充满力量、大胆且辉煌的人生的向往。她坦言“We're never getting younger so I'm gonna have some fun”(人只会年轻一次,所以我要尽情快乐),这不仅是一句口号,更是一种清醒的行动哲学。面对生活中的无聊与愚蠢,她选择用“跳舞”来消灭负面情绪,用好运爆棚的心态去对抗是否合群的焦虑。
