我的感受:

MJ
在這首歌中描繪的是一個人在使用藥物前,使用時和藥性消失後的感受。前後兩段狂暴的節奏和旋律,以及近乎嘶喊的演唱,表現了精神上和肉體上極度的痛苦、狂亂和迷茫;而中間的一段(伴奏樂器為鋼琴、小提琴和長笛,配以喘息的音效),表面上舒緩柔美,飄飄欲仙,骨子裡卻怪異到令人不安,表現的是使用藥物後暫時的快感和平靜,而這種快感和平靜卻是不正常的。

歌詞一開頭描繪的感受就很糟糕,但這種糟糕的感受,此時還僅僅局限於肉體上的:

he got flat baby
kick in the back baby
a heart attack baby
i need your body

隨後,這種糟糕的感覺一直在發展、延續,持續到下面這裡,已經完全成為了精神上的、也是更深的痛苦:

always to please daddy
right up and leave daddy
you're throwing shame daddy
so undesirable

接下來的這段,我感覺仿佛是有人在誘惑這個可憐的受苦的人,誘惑他去使用藥物:

trust in me
trust in me
put all your trust in me
you're doin' morphine

這個人接受了,接下來音樂陡然變得柔和舒緩,宛如天堂,宛如夢境,歌詞描繪了施行注射的人對被注射者溫柔的告誡:

relax
this won't hurt you
before i put it in
close your eyes and count to ten

don't cry
i won't convert you
there's no need to dismay
close your eyes and drift away

而實際上被注射者心裡對使用藥物這一行為並不認同,在道德上,他有著深深的負罪感:

demerol
demerol
oh god he's taking demerol

但是他還是接受了,注意下面的紅色部分,這就是主要原因。這種身體和精神上的苦痛和重壓,已經達到了他所能忍受的極限,他只想能夠擺脫它,就像擺脫一個噩夢,哪怕只是暫時的,哪怕最終他會越陷越深。

這真是飲鴆止渴啊,這可憐的人,在藥物的誘惑下,逐漸變得身不由已:

he's tried
hard to convince her
to be over what he had
today he wants it twice as bad

don't cry
i won't resent you
yesterday you had his trust
today he's taking twice as much



在邊看歌詞邊聽這首歌的過程中,我注意到一個很有趣的現象:

MJ
在歌詞中始終保持一個非常超脫的姿態,他使用的是第三人稱,將自己始終放在一個敘述者的位置,在注射成癮這兩幅畫面中,他仿佛是一個紀錄片導演或攝影師,置身事外,只有冷靜、客觀的拍攝和記錄,幾乎不帶個人感受和感情色彩。然而,他卻巧妙的把自己真實的感受通過這一段的節奏、旋律和音色送到了我們的心裡,那種飄飄欲仙的快樂,夾雜著恐懼、不安和內心對自己的譴責...這段音樂的表現力太強了。

這一段歌詞上的冷靜理性,和音樂上的真實感性,既形成了鮮明的對比,又融合的水乳交融,渾然天成,真真是天才之作!(再感歎一句:MJ真天才也~)

如果這首歌在這裡就結束了,那麼它的光彩可就要大打折扣了,我感覺MJ絕不是僅僅想通過這首歌去描繪藥物帶來的快感,而是想以暫時的解脫,去反襯他心中如影相隨,縈繞不去的痛苦和空虛的感受。

短暫的快感過後,那熟悉的痛苦又捲土重來了:

he got shit baby
your dog's a bitch baby
you make me sick baby
you are a liar

比第一段更進一步的是,在這裡,MJ提出了更為深刻、更為沉重而有力的拷問,對自己、也是對世人:

is truth a game daddy
to win the fame baby

it's all the same baby
you're so reliable

是否真理就是一場為了贏得名聲的遊戲?
我認為這句歌詞是Morphine的核心所在。MJ一生都生活在公眾的矚目下,是個楚門一般的人物,或許只有他自己知道,從他在父親的怒吼和皮鞭下戰戰兢兢的練習演唱和舞蹈開始,他為了贏得名聲付出了多少代價!有多少人能真正理解他的重壓和痛苦,能夠為他分擔,能夠給他帶來真正的安慰?起碼在這首歌裡,我沒有看到,我只看到有人虛情假意的對他說:相信我,給我你的信任。

trust in me
trust in me
put all your trust in me
you're doin' morphine

然而,他們給他的只是Morphine
