曲の意味 この曲はテイラー・スウィフトがOne DirectionのHarry Stylesとの過去の関係について歌ったものと言われています。口論になるし、距離も置くけど結局よりを戻してしまう、そのstyleから抜け出せれない(we never go out of style)という内容です。styleを相手の容姿や相性と考えれば、お互いが理想の相手であり、離れられないと理解することもできますね。
Midnight You come and pick me up, no headlights Long drive Could end in burning flames or paradise Fade into view, oh It's been a while since I have even heard from you (Heard from you) And I should just tell you to leave, 'cause I Know exactly where it leads, but I Watch us go 'round and 'round each time
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye And I got that red lip classic thing that you like And when we go crashing down, we come back every time 'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt And when we go crashing down, we come back every time 'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style
表現: ・James Dean daydream look in your eye:ジェームス・ディーンのようなうっとりする目 ・classic:上品な ・go crashing down:衝突して口論になる ・never go out of style:別れては元に戻るこの"style"から抜け出せない、という意味。相手の容姿、相性という意味でstyleを使っているとも考えられます。 ・slicked back:オールバックの髪型 発音: ・classic、crashing:classicは/ si /、crashingは/ ʃi / ・little skirt:littleはフラップT ・cause:とても短く/ kz /のように発音
[Verse 2]
So it goes He can't keep his wild eyes on the road (mm) Takes me home The lights are off, he's taking off his coat (mm, yeah) I say, "I heard, oh That you've been out and about with some other girl" Some other girl He says, "What you heard is true, but I Can't stop thinking 'bout you, and I" I said, "I've been there too a few times"
表現: ・He can't keep his wild eyes on the road:keep eyes on ~で「~を見続ける」。否定形なので「運転中に集中できない」という意味。wild eyesは「怒り、動揺などの目つき」を表す表現なので、落ち着かない様子がわかります。 ・been out and about with ~:~と出かける ・been there:過去に何度も経験したことがある 発音: ・keep his:hisのhが脱落、連結して/ kiː_piz / ・you've been out and about:you'veのv、outのt、andのdは脱落。been outとand aboutが連結して/ ju_bi_nau_æ_nə_baut / ・what you heard:whatのtは脱落 ・I said "I've been:saidとIが連結して/ se_dai /、I'veのvは脱落 詞の解説、カタカナ母音、発音のポイントをまとめて紹介していますので、こちらもチェックしてみてください。
