I Am Beautiful

剛剛看了Christina Aguilera的Beautiful MTV, 雖然覺得不如歌本身, 但還是體現出來歌詞的大體意思了.

我們每個人都是在某個環境下長大的, 言行和想法當然會被所見所聞影響. 這是不是就造做了所謂世俗的眼光? 每個人選擇的生活方式不一樣, 能去接受別人不同於己的方面當然好, 但其實你生命遇到的人何其多, 不必要所有的人懂得你的想法, 你的作為.

讓自己覺得不夠漂亮, 不夠聰明, 不夠魅力的人通常只是自己, 但這永遠填不完的空洞是支持我努力的動力. 當然會跟別人比較, 但用甚麼衡量才是最公正的呢? 考試不能衡量一個人聰明與否, 鏡子顯現不出情人眼中的西施. 靠鐵架子走路的Forest Gump逼急了成了跑步健將, 清潔工也許那天能解出最複雜的數學題.

比, 我當然還是會天天和別人比. 但那是我自己的事, 不干擾別人. 如果減肥讓我自己覺得好看, 我感謝你們告訴我其實我不胖, 但我還是會繼續持我的蘋果.

但如果我的話會傷害別人, 那是我不願意看到的. 所以希望能夠讓自己成為一個能敞開心胸去接受我不認識, 不理解, 甚至不認同的人和事.

Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
From the Album “Stripped”

Don’t look at me Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it’s hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I’m so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down
So don’t you bring me down today

To all your friends, you’re delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That’s the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won’t bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won’t bring you down
Don’t you bring me down today…

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won’t stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won’t always shine
(sun won’t always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won’t bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can’t bring us down
Don’t you bring me down today

Don’t you bring me down today
Don’t you bring me down today
