Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh.
Only sound, only sound that you hear is "no".
You never saw it coming,
Slipped when you started running.
And now you've come undone and I, I, I, I
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh eh,
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade.
Wish I could make it better.
Someday you won't remember
This pain you thought would last forever and ever.
★ There you'll stand, ten feet tall.
I will say, "I knew it all along."
Your eyes are wider than distance.
This life is sweeter than fiction. ★
Just a shot, just a shot in the dark, oh oh.
All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes.
They never saw it coming.
You hit the ground running.
And now you're onto something, I, I, I say,
What a sight, what a sight when the light came on;
Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong.
And in this perfect weather, it's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever.
▲ Refrain ★
There you'll stand, next to me.
All at once, the rest is history.
Your eyes are wider than distance.
This life is sweeter than fiction. ▲
☆ I'll be one of the many, saying,
"Look at you now, look at you now, now."
I'll be one of the many, saying,
"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud." ☆
Refrain ☆
And when they call your name and they put your picture in a frame,
You know that I'll be there, time and again, 'cause I loved you then.
When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh.
Only sound, only sound that you heard was "no".
Now in this perfect weather, it's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever (forever).
Refrain ▲
It's sweeter than fiction.
It's sweeter, yeah.
It's sweeter, sweeter, sweeter than fiction.

這首“Sweeter than Fiction”是美國(guó)當(dāng)紅鄉(xiāng)村女歌手Taylor Swift為電影《機(jī)不可失》(One Chance)創(chuàng)作并演唱的主題曲。影片根據(jù)真人真事改編,講述了36歲的手機(jī)推銷(xiāo)員保羅·波茨(Paul Potts)在《英國(guó)達(dá)人》(Britain's Got Talent)節(jié)目上以一曲“Nessun Dorma”(《今夜無(wú)人入睡》)一鳴驚人的勵(lì)志故事。Taylor Swift在接受采訪時(shí)提到,她覺(jué)得這部電影十分感人,主人公保羅對(duì)音樂(lè)夢(mèng)想堅(jiān)持不懈的努力令人敬佩,而他的妻子對(duì)他的關(guān)愛(ài)和支持更是深深打動(dòng)了她,這份愛(ài)正是這首主題曲的創(chuàng)作靈感。歌詞使用第一人稱(chēng)和第二人稱(chēng),聽(tīng)起來(lái)如同親人的安慰和鼓勵(lì):曾經(jīng)的傷痛記憶會(huì)模糊遠(yuǎn)去,熬過(guò)漆黑的夜晚,就會(huì)有燦爛的曙光在等待。不過(guò)值得一提的是,這首暖心的歌曲在曲風(fēng)上并沒(méi)有走抒情路線,而是加入了搖滾舞曲的元素,節(jié)奏歡快,動(dòng)感十足,讓人不禁想要隨著歌曲一起搖擺。
人生就像一場(chǎng)障礙賽,在奔跑的過(guò)程中,跌倒和傷痛總是難免的。如果你能夠忍住疼痛、咬緊牙關(guān)繼續(xù)向前奔跑,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一路上經(jīng)受的磨練都有它特別的意義。如果你能穿越一道道障礙、堅(jiān)持到最后,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)life is sweeter than fiction。
