歌曲歌詞
英文
[Verse 1]
The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back and forth
You're still all over me like a wine stained dress I can't wear anymore
Hung my head as I lost the war
And sky turned to black like a perfect storm
[Chorus]
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
By morning gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
[Verse 2]
There was nothing left to do
When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof
I let the flood carry away all my pictures of you
The water filled my lungs
I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing
[Chorus]
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That’s when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
I think I am finally clean
Said I think I am finally clean
[Verse 3]
10 months sober
I must admit
Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
10 months older
I won't give in
Now that I'm clean
I'm never gonna risk it
The drought was the very worst
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
[Chorus]
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That’s when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That’s when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you
I think I am finally clean
Finally clean
Think I am finally clean
Think I am finally clean
譯文
這裡貧瘠如同荒漠
當我們一起種的花因饑渴凋零
這場長達數月的來回拉鋸
而你仍讓我沒轍,如同沾有酒漬的連衣裙,我再也無法穿著
我已經被你羞辱得低下了頭仿佛這場戰爭我已敗北
天空被黑暗入侵像無懈可擊的風暴
Chorus:
雨傾盆而下,我慢慢沉溺
但此時我才終於能呼吸
而那個早晨你無法尋覓
我想我終於清淨,不再留戀
已經無事可做
蝴蝶化為灰燼飄落整個房間
所以我在屋頂開了一個洞
讓洪水帶走你所有的照片
水浸滿我的肺
我大聲尖叫卻無人聽見
雨傾盆而下,我慢慢沉溺
但此時我才終於能呼吸
而那個早晨你無法尋覓
我想我終於清淨,不再留戀
我想我終於清淨,不再留戀
看吧,我想我終於徹底放下
十個月的冷靜 我無法否認
只因你說你已釋懷並不意味著你不再留戀
十個月的成長 我不會屈服
既然我已釋懷我就絕不會再次冒險
這裡貧瘠如同荒漠
當我們一起種的花因饑渴凋零
雨傾盆而下,我慢慢沉溺
但此時我才終於能呼吸
而那個早晨你無法尋覓
我想我終於釋懷,不再留戀
歌曲鑑賞
專輯普通版的結束曲《Clean》,由英國另類女歌手Imogen Heap操刀製作,歌曲開始的編曲和Imogen Heap冰冷空靈的和聲是完完全全的Indie范兒,但同《I Know Places》一樣,副歌一開始,小美女最擅長的流暢鏇律就又出來了,儘管如此,這首歌還是可以稱得上是整張專輯Crossover跨界合作的典範的。
