Question

Katy Perry 的who am I living for究竟是想要表达一种什么样的情感或是感悟？不是要翻译。求高手解答！

热爱音乐又精通英语的高人们帮忙分析指导一下啊！！！
附歌词：
Yeah eh yeah yeah

I can feel a phoenix inside of me
As I march alone to a different beat
Slowly swallowing down my fear, yeah yeah

I am ready for the road less traveled
Suiting up for my crowning battle
This test is my own cross to bear
But i will get there

It's never easy to be chosen, never easy to be called
Standing on the front line when the bombs start to fall
I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames
Calling out my name

I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am i living for?

I can feel this light that's inside of me
Growing fast into a bolt of lightning
I know one spark will shock the world, yeah yeah

So i pray for a favor like Esther
I need your strength to handle the pressure
I know there will be sacrifice
But that's the price

It's never easy to be chosen, never easy to be called
Standing on the front line when the bombs start to fall
I can see the heavens but i still hear the flames
Calling out my name

I can see the writing on the wall

I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am i living for?

I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am i living for?

At the end, at the end
Who am i living for?
At the end, at the end
Who am i living for?

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Don't let the greatness get you down
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Don't let the greatness get you down

I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am i living for?

I can see the writing on the wall
I can't ignore this war
At the end of it all
Who am i living for?

At the end, at the end
Who am i living for?
At the end, at the end
Who am i living for?

Answer 1

我个人认为这首歌是表现一个人的内心之战。
“I can feel a phoenix inside of me “我能感受内心如凤凰。
引申下就是凤凰浴火重生，我渴望重生。
“Slowly swallowing down my fear”现实里有恐惧 有不安，但是我想要“重生”的渴望吞噬了这些恐惧。
I am ready for the road less traveled
我会踏上少有人走的路
Suiting up for my crowning battle
为了顶峰之战整装待发（我的顶峰之战===我愿意付出一切努力 打败自己的弱点改变自己的人生）
This test is my own cross to bear
这次考验是我必须背负的十字架（我感觉十字架的内涵就是命中注定 或者是认为必须进行这一战）
But i will get there我会成功（必胜的信念！！！）

Standing on the front line when the bombs start to fall
I can see the heavens but I still hear the flames
Calling out my name
（中文就不解释了哈）这几句 正是一个人对于将面对的挑战无所畏惧的心情 甚至感觉那些挑战在召唤着他

然后是高潮部分：
I can see the writing on the wall
我看得见墙上的笔迹（我也不明白这是什么意思）
I can't ignore this war
这场战争我无法忽视（必须去做 凤凰必须重生 不然就只能是一场灰烬）
At the end of it all
Who am i living for?
到了最后 我是谁？？（这不是自问 是问别人 最后我赢了 你来看看我究竟是谁 ）

关于who am i living for歌名的翻译我有点自己的理解啊
是“我活着是为了怎么样的我”

这首歌总的来说 旋律很严肃 甚至有点沉重 宿命 （果姐唱的也很嘶吼啊啊啊啊）
所以我觉得不会是什么偶尔对生活的感悟
而是严肃的自我认知 自我反省 一首追寻生命真谛的歌

我很喜欢果姐

I Can_Nas-Now系列欧美经典流行音乐 Takin Back My Love-席亚拉(Ciara) 就是唱a perfect indian的人唱的，我最喜欢她这首了，有种不一样的感觉

主题是对生活的思考，生活中的压力，烦恼等一切不愉快的东西让作者由此而联想开去。。。 就像我们很多人有时会迷惘，也会停下来思考，写点人生感悟之类的
