歌曲簡介 

在專輯Skylar Grey同歌手名，Vampire At The Swimming Pool是第二首單曲，探索 Grey 的內心故事。在“Vampire At The Swimming Pool”中，Skylar Grey使用催眠的歌聲和巧妙的文字遊戲來歌唱她長期以來為融入社會和感到疏離而進行的鬥爭。這首歌的靈感來自於 2021 年夏天，她和朋友在東海岸的一個泳池派對上玩得不開心，並開玩笑地評論說感覺自己像個“吸血鬼”。而以這個想法來寫的一首歌。

[Verse 1] 

Should I stay or should I leave?

我該停留原地或是該離去

No one is talkin'to me

沒有人跟我講話

Head-to-toe covered in lace

蕾絲從頭到腳包裹著全身

Sittin'quiet in the shade

靜靜地坐在陰影之中

Fighting some internal rage

抵抗著內心的怒吼

Like a lion in a cage

就像被困牢籠的獅子

 

[Chorus]

Like a vampire at the swimming pool in the summertime

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中

Like a vampire at the swimming pool tryin'to hide

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中找尋掩蔽

I don't know why I even came, I just feel so out of place

我甚至不知道自己為何來這裡，我總覺得格格不入

Like a vampire at the swimming pool in the summertime

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中

 

[Verse 2]

Skin so fair, it's nearly blue

皮膚白皙，彷彿能看到血管沒有血色

For every shot you're taking, I'm taking two

別人付出的努力，我都比別人加倍付出

Feelin'awkward, feelin'strangе

感到尷尬，感到奇怪

I was born against the grain

我生而與世界格格不入

Never know quitе what to say

不知該說甚麼 

All I do is pray for rain

只能在雨中祈禱

 

[Chorus]

Like a vampire at the swimming pool in the summertime

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中

Like a vampire at the swimming pool tryin'to hide

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中找尋掩蔽

I don't know why I even came, I just feel so out of place

我甚至不知道自己為何來這裡，我總覺得格格不入

Like a vampire at the swimming pool in the summertime

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中

 

[Non-Lyrical Vocal Bridge]

 

[Chorus]

Like a vampire at the swimming pool in the summertime

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中

Like a vampire at the swimming pool tryin' to hide

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中找尋掩蔽

I don't know why I even came, I just feel so out of place

我甚至不知道自己為何來這裡，我總覺得格格不入

Like a vampire at the swimming pool in the summertime

就像吸血鬼在夏日時光的游泳池中
