【感動我的歌曲】 Millennials in Trouble?

Lorde's Royals

https://youtu.be/nlcIKh6sBtc

 

These days I keep hearing that my fellow millennials are making no headway with life. 

 

I doubt we are a generation of discontent. I don't doubt the discontented in our generation can find their voice in Lorde's Royals.

 

I may not agree with Lorde's message, but I must say there's something about this young lady. She is far more than a songbird.

Royals/Lyrics

 

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address

In a torn up town, no postcode envy

 

But every song's like

Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care

We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like

Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy

 

My friends and I, we've cracked the code

We count our dollars on the train to the party

And everyone who knows us knows

That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money

 

But every song's like

Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room

We don't care

We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

But everybody's like

Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

We don't care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy

 

Oh

Oh (oh, oh)

We're bigger than we ever dreamed

And I'm in love with being queen

Oh

Oh (oh, oh)

Life is great without a care

We aren't caught up in your love affair

 

And we'll never be royals (royals)

It don't run in our blood

That kind of luxe just ain't for us

We crave a different kind of buzz

Let me be your ruler (ruler)

You can call me queen bee

And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)

Let me live that fantasy

• 焦慮是存在的，比如償還學生債，找有進升機會的工作等等。難煞？當然難煞，但前景可容樂觀。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:06:49

• 不是雪上加霜，而是雪融冰解。非全球化勢所必然。北美三國，以美國為中心，將會在振興本土工商業之餘，更固國基。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:17:38

• 唯有北美三國可自給自足。他州他國，望塵莫及。中俄歐人口老化兼萎縮已成定局，意味內在消費更其不振，更需外貿，更需美國... -renqiulan- ♂ (1040 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:25:59

• 同時美國要年青移民就有年青移民，要高材移民就有高材移民，要基層勞動移民就有基層勞動移民。 -LYJiang- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:30:09

• 對。外在方麵，沒有可以真正犯境跟美國作生死決戰的侵略國。國安國穩，就不愁外資不滾滾而來，資助科研，繁榮經濟。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:38:11

• 北美以外世界就不安不穩，互犯相侵加頻加劇。美帝不當世界警察而當漁人，看著鷸蚌相爭。無怪乎日本首相訪烏，芬蘭等趕緊加盟北約 -LYJiang- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:49:49

• 既然美國選民不想繼續當世界警察，什麽黨什麽總統都要跟著走。北美內循環圈又可涵蓋日韓台越印英法德意等，親其親嘛。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:57:46
