聽歌學英文：Heartbreak Anthem

這首歌是由Galantis、David Guetta 與 Little Mix 共同於 2021 年 5 月發行。歌名叫做「Heartbreak Anthem 心碎之歌」，Anthem 的意思是一群人一起唱帶有特殊意義的一種歌，例如 national anthem（國歌）、school anthem（校歌）這種。

雖然歌名叫 Heartbreak Anthem，歌詞裡面一直重複 “This ain't a heartbreak anthem”。所以到底是不是心碎之歌啊？還是其實是在說反話？我們一起來解析歌詞就知道了！

Galantis, David Guetta & Little Mix - Heartbreak Anthem

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. 她現在還是對我跟她喜歡的男生出去耿耿於懷。

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 心一沈 My heart sank when I realized I couldn't afford the concert ticket. 當我發現我們買不起演唱會門票時，我的心頓時沉了下去。

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. 不要再一直想過去，過了就過了。

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 鬧脾氣 The boy threw a tantrum in Carrefour because he couldn’t buy sweets. 因為小男孩不能買糖果，他就在家樂福鬧脾氣。

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 追求幾乎不可能或不存在的東西 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)

結論：我覺得愛的反面是不在乎，而不是打電話給前任祝福或是說我很痛什麼的、甚至作一首關於失戀的歌。這首歌與其說是在跟前任講話，不如說主角是在自我勉勵，拍拍自己趕快好起來，所以——是不是心碎之歌？不要再騙自己了啦～
