不知道是不是最近一年讀了些西方文學,看到lightning時立刻就想到了基督教 : 第一天神造光。Gaga在訪談中有講到,那個聲音是她的God,也是她所有藝術創作的啟示。而網路上有人討論Gaga為什麼用sine,首先 : 聲音是由空氣平穩地振動,產生清澈的聲音。數學上,平穩的振動可以用sin函數來表示,稱做sine wave,正弦波。如下圖

然後Gaga把罪惡sin後面加了一個e,變成音樂(sine wave),也是Gaga的救贖,因為音樂治癒了她的心靈。

 

你可能有疑問,為甚麼Gaga感到"罪惡sin"。因為她從小家庭是虔誠天主教徒,而天主教認為人一出生都是有罪的,只能透過向神父告解自己的罪過來悔改。Gaga長大之後發現自己對性傾向、墮胎議題上地態度都和天主教牴觸。

 

有任何想法歡迎留言討論,Have a good day!

 

[Verse 1: Lady Gaga]
When I was young, I prayed for lightning

當我年輕時,我強烈地盼望著一道閃電
My mother said it would come and find me

我媽說閃電總有一天會找到我
I found myself without a prayer

後來我不再禱告
I lost my love and no one cared

我失去了我的愛,但沒人會在乎
When I was young, I prayed for lightning

當我年輕時,我祈禱一道閃電

 

[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga]
Yeah, I looked with my face up to the sky

我仰望天空(God)
But I saw nothing there, no, no, nothing there

但我沒看到任何東西
Yeah, I stared while my eyes filled up with tears

我就如此凝視著,眼裡噙著淚水
But there was nothing there, no, no, nothing

但仍舊沒有任何東西出現

 

[Chorus: Lady Gaga]
I heard one sine from above (Oh)

我聽到有段樂音自上方傳來
I heard one sine from above (Oh)

Then the signal split in two

然後那道訊號分裂為二
The sound created stars like me and you

那聲音生成了像你我般的星子

Before there was love, there was silence

在愛之前,是一片寂靜
I heard one sine

突然我聽到一段樂音響起
And it healed my heart, heard a sine

當我聆聽時,它治癒了我的心

Healed my heart, heard a sine

當我聆聽時,它治癒了我的心
Healed my heart, heard a sine

[Verse 2: Elton John & Both]
When I was young, I felt immortal

And not a day went by without a struggle

I lived my days just for the nights

我日復一日如此地活著,只為了黑夜時的停歇
I lost myself under the lights

我在燈光下失去了自我
When I was young, I felt immortal

年輕時,我覺得自己永垂不朽

 

[Pre-Chorus: Lady Gaga & Elton John]

Yeah, I looked with my face up to the sky

我仰望天空
But I saw nothing there, no, no, nothing there

But there was nothing there, no, no, nothing

但仍舊沒有任何東西出現
