ROSÉ-toxic till the end | Buddie English
🔊 播放音樂看著歌詞聽一遍 🔊
Call us what we are
Toxic from the start
Can't pretend that I was in the dark
When you met my friends
Didn't even try with them
I should've known it then that you were
Jealous and possessive
So manipulating
Honestly impressive
You had me participating
Back then
When I was running out of your place I said
"I never wanna see your face,"
I meant
I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic 'til the end
Uh huh
'Cause even when I said it was over
You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closer?"
You were
Plotting how to stay in my head
We were toxic 'til the end
Ladies and gentlemen
I present to you the ex
His favorite game is chess
Who would ever guess?
Playing with the pieces in my chest
Now he's on the screen
Saying, "Don't leave."
You stole that line from me
'Cause you're just
Jealous and possessive
So manipulating
Honestly impressive
You had me participating
Back then
When I was running out of your place
I said
"I never wanna see your face"
I meant
I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic 'til the end
Uh huh
'Cause even when I said it was over
You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closer?"
You were
Plotting how to stay in my head
We were toxic 'til the end, end, end
I can forgive you for a lot of things
For not giving me back my Tiffany rings
I'll never forgive you for one thing, my dear
You wasted my prettiest years
Back then
When I was running out of your place I said
"I never wanna see your face"
I meant
I couldn't wait to see it again
We were toxic
Uh huh
'Cause even when I said it was over
You heard, "Baby, can you pull me in closer?"
You were
Plotting how to stay in my head
We were toxic 'til the end
End end
We were toxic 'til the end, end, end

🎯 GRAMMAR｜文法句型
• 複合關係代名詞 what
what 作複合關係代名詞 = the thing + 關係代名詞 that
what 引導的名詞子句（what + 主詞 + 動詞）意為「⋯⋯的東西/事物/樣子」
🎧 Call us what we are.
⏩️ 把我們稱作我們真正的樣子吧。
（在歌詞中這句話帶有一種無奈與承認現實的語氣，暗示「我們的關係就是這樣，沒必要再偽裝了」。）
• should + have + 過去分詞 (Vp.p.)
這個句型為「和過去事實相反的假設語氣」
意指「過去某個時間應該做卻沒做某件事」
🎧 I should've known it then.
⏩️ 我當初早該知道了。
• have + 受詞 (O.) + 動名詞 (V-ing)
表示「讓某人處於某種狀態或持續進行某事」
(這個句型並非典型的 have 作使役動詞用法)
🎧 You had me participating.
⏩️ 你讓我參與其中。
(暗指：你操控了我，使我不自覺地投入其中。)
• how + to + 原形動詞 (VR)
這個句型為「疑問詞 how 引導的不定詞片語 (to + V.)」
常作受詞接在及物動詞後，表示「如何做某事」
🎧 You were plotting how to stay in my head.
⏩️ 你在密謀如何留在我的腦海中。
🎯 NOTE｜註解
• piece 的雙重含義
🎧 His favorite game is chess
Who would ever guess?
Playing with the pieces in my chest
歌詞提到他最喜歡的遊戲是西洋棋，”piece” 在此處指「棋子」，隱喻對方在下一盤棋，操縱或玩弄她的內心 (chest)。然而，”piece” 的另一個意思是「碎片」，因此 “pieces in my chest” 也可以象徵「破碎的心」，表達主角受傷的情感。
• ROSÉ 在 2021 年 3 月成為 Tiffany & Co. 的全球品牌大使，歌詞也順便幫 Tiffany 打了廣告 💙
