High Road
歌詞:
[English]
Well, I can tell that you're mad
And I ain't half surprised about that
Since the day that we met
It's always who cuts first and never who bleeds last
Rumors always turn into yelling and fighting
And once it's in your mind, only one way you're driving
And I know, I know
I'ma take the high road, baby get stoned
Have a little too much of something terrible
I'ma let you cool down while I walk out
You ain't messing me up like the times before
I don't need a ticket to your shitshow
Knock yourself out and hit a new low
Well, I'ma take the high road, take the high road, take the high road
Call me a son of a bitch
For being honest, yeah, that's what I get
And fuck it, I quit
You keep on losing your head about some girl I ain't with
And rumors always turn into yelling and fighting
And what's this in your mind, only one way you're driving
I know, I know
I'ma take the high road, baby get stoned
Have a little too much of something terrible
I'ma let you cool down while I walk out
You ain't messing me up like the times before
I don't need a ticket to your shitshow
Knock yourself out and hit a new low
Well, I'ma take the high road, take the high road, take the high road
Whoa, whoa
I'ma take the high road, baby get stoned
Have a little too much of something terrible
I'ma let you cool down while I walk out
You ain't messing me up like the times before
And I don't need a ticket to your shitshow
Knock yourself out and hit a new low
Well, I'ma take the high road, take the high road, take the high road
I'ma take the high road, take the high road, take the high road
Oh, yeah, yeah, mm

文法:
-
Well, I can tell that you're mad.
➔ 主語-動詞-補語 (SVC) 構造で形容詞が補語, that節
➔ この文は基本的なSVC構造に従っています。「I」は主語、「can tell」は動詞句、「that you're mad」はthat節として補語の役割を果たし、話し手が何について言及しているかを具体的に説明しています。
-
It's always who cuts first and never who bleeds last.
➔ "it's"を使った分裂文, "who"を使った関係詞節, 頻度副詞 "always"
➔ これは、文の特定の部分を強調するために使用される分裂文です。「it's」の構造は、後に続く節を強調します。「who cuts first」と「who bleeds last」は、文の主語を定義する関係詞節です。
-
Rumors always turn into yelling and fighting.
➔ 主語-動詞-前置詞句, 頻度副詞 "always", 動名詞 (yelling and fighting)
➔ "Rumors"は主語、「turn into」は句動詞、「yelling and fighting」は前置詞「into」の目的語として機能する動名詞です。「Always」は動詞を修飾し、頻度を示します。
-
And what's this in your mind, only one way you're driving
➔ 省略を伴う疑問構造, 関係詞節の省略
➔ 冒頭は省略されており、「And what is this...?」を意味し、その後に状況を説明する記述が続きます。「only one way you're driving」は省略された関係詞節です。完全な節は「...only one way that you are driving.」のようになります。
-
I'ma take the high road, baby get stoned
➔ 略式短縮形 "I'ma", 命令節 (baby get stoned)
➔ "I'ma"は「I am going to」の口語的な短縮形です。「Baby get stoned」は命令表現のように使われ、話し手が陶酔したいことを暗示しています。
-
Have a little too much of something terrible.
➔ 数量詞 "a little too much", 形容詞 "terrible", 暗示的な主語
➔ "a little too much"は名詞句「something terrible」を数量化します。「terrible」は「something」を説明します。暗示的な主語は「I」であり、このアクションは前の「I'ma」に関連しています。
-
You ain't messing me up like the times before
➔ 否定短縮形 "ain't", "like"を使った比較構造
➔ "Ain't"は「am not」、「is not」、「are not」の非標準的な短縮形です。「like the times before」というフレーズは比較を生み出します。
-

➔ 命令形動詞, 再帰代名詞 "yourself", 限定詞 "a" + 形容詞 + 名詞 (a new low)
