《Petals》歌词:
[00:33.55]I've often wondered if there's
[00:36.91]ever been a perfect family
[00:41.11]I've always longed for undividedness
[00:43.60]And sought stability
[00:48.09]
[00:51.32]A flower taught me how to pray
[00:55.21]But as I grew, that flower changed
[00:59.10]She started flailing in the wind
[01:01.80]Like golden petals scattering
[01:06.42]And I miss you, dandelion
[01:08.09]And even love you
[01:12.91]
[01:14.00]And I wish there was a way
[01:17.42]For me to trust you but it hurts me every time
[01:24.96]I try to touch you
[01:28.27]
[01:29.18]But I miss you, dandelion
[01:32.43]And even love you
[01:35.83]
[01:38.35]I gravitated towards a patriarch
[01:42.67]So young predictably
[01:45.85]I was resigned to spend my life
[01:49.60]Within a maze of misery
[01:56.00]A boy and a girl befriended me
[01:59.84]We're bonded through despondency
[02:03.66]I stayed so long, but finally
[02:07.44]I fled to save my sanity
[02:11.10]And I miss you, little sis and little brother
[02:17.63]
[02:18.71]And I hope you realize
[02:22.00]I'll always love you (Always love you)
[02:26.32]And although you're struggling, you will recover
[02:29.48](We're gonna make it, maybe)
[02:33.90]And I miss you, little sis and little brother
[02:41.45]
[02:42.09]So many I considered
[02:46.03]closest to me
[02:49.07]
[02:49.68]Turned on a dime and sold me
[02:53.68]out dutifully
[02:56.48]
[02:57.79]Although that knife was chipping
[03:00.96]away at me they turned their eyes away and
[03:08.69] went home to sleep(Sleep, sleep, sleep)
[03:14.85]
[03:16.44]And I missed a lot of life,
[03:19.02]but I'll recover
[03:22.48]
[03:23.47]Though I know you really like
[03:26.64] to see me suffer
[03:30.26]
[03:30.92]Still I wish that you and I'd
[03:34.47] forgive each other
[03:37.70]
[03:38.83]'Cause I miss you, Valentine,
[03:44.31]and really loved you
[03:49.29]I really loved you (I guess I loved you)
[03:51.68]
[03:54.33]I tried so hard,
[03:56.41]but you drove me away
[04:00.07]To preserve my sanity
[04:02.99]
[04:03.81]And I found the strength
[04:05.80] to break away(Do-do-do-do-do)
[04:07.75]Fly

[00:33.55]我常常在想
[00:36.91]这世上是否真的有美满的家庭(Mariah Carey出生于混血儿家庭,家庭成员常恶语相向,父母离异,童年生活惨痛不已)
[00:41.11]我常梦寐以求永不分离
[00:43.60]寻求稳如磐石的关系
[00:51.32]花儿教会了我如何祷告(这里的flower是对于MC的姐姐Alison Carey的暗喻,据传Alison Carey曾为了MC的试唱花光了所有的积蓄为其购置衣物)
[00:55.21]但我渐渐长大,那朵花也不复往态(后期Alison Carey染上毒瘾,姐妹两人因此渐而疏离,后来因为经济压力被迫只能倚门卖笑)
[00:59.10]狂风中,她飘摇欲坠
[01:01.80]金色的花瓣漫天飞舞
[01:06.42]我想念你,蒲公英(这里的“蒲公英”也是对于姐姐Alison Carey的暗指)
[01:08.09]我甚至依旧爱着你
[01:14.00]我多希望终有一天
[01:17.42]我能重拾对你的信任
[01:24.96]但每次当我试着想要触碰你,却总是伤我颇深
[01:29.18]但我依旧想念着你
[01:32.43]依旧爱着你
[01:38.35]年轻时的我如所预料
[01:42.67]被所谓成熟吸引(可能由于童年创伤,为寻求稳定和保护的Mariah Carey早年嫁给了大自己二十多岁的Tommy Mottola,时任索尼音乐总裁)
[01:45.85]曾经我的委曲求全
[01:49.60]可能终此一生困于充斥痛苦的迷宫(“迷宫”是指婚姻期间的住宅,由于Tommy Mottola极强的控制欲,MC被逼迫一直工作,并且一切都要经过丈夫批准,MC后来披露了那段监狱一般的生活)
[01:56.00]一个男孩和一个女孩如朋友般帮助我(Tommy与其前妻的孩子)
[01:59.84]绝望之境中结下不解之缘
[02:03.66]我坚持了如此之久
[02:07.44]但为了挽救理智,我只能逃离(MC于1997年5月终于结束了和Tommy的婚姻,但由此将会遭受常人难以忍受的打压报复)
[02:11.10]弟弟妹妹们,我十分想念你们
[02:18.71]我希望你们能领会
[02:22.00]我会一直爱着你们
[02:26.32]即使你们身处万难,但伤口终将愈合
[02:29.48]我们将会远离这片痛苦之疆
[02:33.90]弟弟妹妹们,我十分想念你们
[02:42.09]许多我认为身边
[02:46.03]最亲近的人
[02:49.68]却背信弃义
[02:53.68]将我“忠诚地”出卖(比如Walter Afanasieff,曾和MC合作过Hero等经典名曲,在MC与Tommy的婚姻宣告破裂后为了表示对其忠心背叛了MC)
[02:57.79]即使锐利的刀锋已经剜下我的骨肉
[03:00.96]他们却视而不见
[03:08.69]回到家中若无其事地安然入睡
[03:16.44]即使我错过了生活
[03:19.02]我会平复如故
[03:23.47]即使我明知你
[03:26.64]想看到我受饱受折磨
[03:30.92]但我依旧抱有希望
[03:34.47]我们能互相原谅对方
[03:38.83]因为我还在挂念着你,Valentine(T.D. Valentine是MC前夫Tommy Mottola的艺名)
[03:44.31]我曾深爱着你
[03:49.29]我曾深爱着你
[03:54.33]我拼尽全力想要和你白头终老
[03:56.41]但你的行径
[04:00.07]让我不得不逃离你来保全自己
[04:03.81]终于,我鼓足了力量振翮而飞
[04:05.80]来远离你
[04:07.75]蝴蝶一般地飞离
