【感动我的歌曲】 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

• 焦虑是存在的，比如偿还学生债，找有进升机会的工作等等。难煞？当然难煞，但前景可容乐观。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:06:49

• 不是雪上加霜，而是雪融冰解。非全球化势所必然。北美三国，以美国为中心，将会在振兴本土工商业之馀，更固国基。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:17:38

• 北美內循环？ -LYJiang- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:18:31

• 唯有北美三国可自给自足。他州他国，望尘莫及。中俄欧人口老化兼萎缩已成定局，意味內在消费更其不振，更需外贸，更需美国... -renqiulan- ♂ (1040 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:25:59

• 同时美国要年青移民就有年青移民，要高材移民就有高材移民，要基层劳动移民就有基层劳动移民。 -LYJiang- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:30:09

• 对。外在方面，没有可以真正犯境跟美国作生死決战的侵略国。国安国稳，就不愁外资不滚滚而来，资助科研，繁荣经济。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:38:11

• 北美以外世界就不安不稳，互犯相侵加频加剧。美帝不当世界警察而当渔人，看着鹬蚌相争。无怪乎日本首相访烏，芬兰等赶紧加盟北约 -LYJiang- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:49:49

• 既然美国选民不想继续当世界警察，什么党什么总统都要跟着走。北美內循环圈又可涵盖日韩台越印英法德意等，亲其亲嘛。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 04/03/2023 postreply 23:57:46
