“Just like Fire”是美國女歌手Pink為2016年5月上映的影片《愛麗絲夢游仙境2:鏡中奇遇記》(Alice Through the Looking Glass)演唱的主題曲。影片中的女主人公愛麗絲重返仙境,憑借自己的智慧和勇氣拯救了好朋友瘋帽子。仙境中的經(jīng)歷也讓愛麗絲得以成長,她回到現(xiàn)實世界后,鼓足勇氣,成功維護了自己的夢想。這一切都歸功于她對信念的執(zhí)著。而“Just like Fire”這首歌曲正反映了愛麗絲的這種信念。
這首歌曲不僅在美國《公告牌》榜單上名列前茅,還在2016年7月獲得了美國青少年選擇獎的提名。歌曲中,Pink以她桀驁不馴的聲音唱出了對夢想的執(zhí)著追求,而副歌處吶喊般的歌唱賦予了歌曲噴薄而出的力量。整首歌旋律朗朗上口,節(jié)奏歡快,頗有感染力。
每個人在追尋夢想的時候都會歷盡困難。但是困難沒什么可懼怕的,它會使你更加堅忍。即使他人拋來質(zhì)疑與嘲笑,即使總有人等著看你丑態(tài)百出,即使身處窘境而進退兩難,你也應該堅持自己的信念。如果有人告訴你,你不能做到某件事,那就向他們證明:他們錯了!正如歌中所唱:“Just 'cause nobody's done it / Y'all don't think I can run it / But look, I've been here, I've done it.”回顧Pink本人的經(jīng)歷,也是如此。在一次訪談中,Pink曾口出豪言:“I want to take over the world and paint it pink!”也正是因為敢想敢做,Pink才在事業(yè)上取得了成功。因此,無論夢想看起來多么遙不可及,也要相信自己。生命宛如火焰,為了夢想,盡情燃燒吧,哪怕只能照亮世界一天,也不后悔!
I know that I'm running out of time
(I want it all, mmm)
And I'm wishing they'd stop tryna turn me off
(I want it on, mmm)
And I'm walking on a wire, trying to go higher
Feels like I'm surrounded by clowns and liars
Even when I give it all away
I want it all, mmm, mmm
* We came here to run it, run it, run it
We came here to run it, run it, run it *
☆ ▲ Just like fire, burning up the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way ▲
Just like magic, I'll be flying free
I'mma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?
No one can be just like me any way ☆
Just like fire, uh
And people like to laugh at you 'cause they are all the same, mmm
See I would rather we just go our different way than play the game, mmm
And no matter the weather, we can do it better
You and me together forever and ever
We don't have to worry 'bout a thing, about a thing, no
Refrain *
Refrain ☆
Just like fire, fire, fire
Run it, run it, run it
We came here to run it, run it, run it
So look I came here to run it
Just 'cause nobody's done it
Y'all don't think I can run it
But look, I've been here, I've done it
Impossible? Please
Watch, I do it with ease
You just gotta believe
Come on, come on with me
★ Oh, what you gonna do?
(What, what!?) ★

Just like fire, fire
Run it, run it, run it
Just like fire
Run it, run it, run it
