听歌学英文：Heartbreak Anthem

这首歌是由Galantis、David Guetta 与Little Mix 共同于2021 年5 月发行。歌名叫做「Heartbreak Anthem 心碎之歌」，Anthem 的意思是一群人一起唱带有特殊意义的一种歌，例如national anthem（国歌）、school anthem（校歌）这种。

虽然歌名叫Heartbreak Anthem，歌词里面一直重复“This ain't a heartbreak anthem”。所以到底是不是心碎之歌啊？还是其实是在说反话？我们一起来解析歌词就知道了！

Hello, it's me, your ex
I called to say not sorry, but I wish you the best
And I don't hold no grudges, promise this ain't a test
We okay, we okay

Grudge 介意、怨恨
She still has/holds a grudge against me for dating the boy she liked.
她现在还是对我跟她喜欢的男生出去耿耿于怀。

Sometimes it works out but sometimes it don't
Maybe we'll fix this or maybe we won't
Sometimes a heart can sink like a stone
Until you find home

sb's heart sinks 心一沉
My heart sank when I realized I couldn't afford the concert ticket.
当我发现我们买不起演唱会门票时，我的心顿时沉了下去。

This ain't a heartbreak anthem
I don't care what happened
But I ain't got no time to dwell on it

Dwell on 一直想想不停
Stop dwelling on the past. Let bygones be bygones.
不要再一直想过去，过了就过了。

Don't wanna throw a tantrum
You did what you had to
No, I ain't got no time to dwell on it

Throw a tantrum 闹脾气
The boy threw a tantrum in Carrefour because he couldn't buy sweets.
因为小男孩不能买糖果，他就在家乐福闹脾气。

And I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel hollow
Chasin' you and me, chasin' all of these shadows
This ain't a heartbreak anthem
I don't care what happened
But I ain't got no time to dwell on it

To chase shadows 追求几乎不可能或不存在的东西
Trying to find your perfect partner can feel like chasing shadows.

Hello, it's me your ex
I didn't wanna call but there's this pain in my chest
And thanks to you I'm wearing out this bulletproof vest
But I'll be okay (okay), I'm okay (I'm okay)

结论：我觉得爱的反面是不在乎，而不是打电话给前任祝福或是说我很痛什么的、甚至作一首关于失恋的歌。这首歌与其说是在跟前任讲话，不如说主角是在自我勉励，拍拍自己赶快好起来，所以——是不是心碎之歌？不要再骗自己了啦～
