"Calm Envy" 是由多莉·艾利什(Dolly Parton)演唱的一首歌曲,收錄在她的專輯《Blossom》中。這是一首描繪自我控制欲望的歌曲,歌詞如下:
Verse 1:
Looking in the mirror, feeling sad
Got so much on my mind, it’s hard to say
Trying to keep my head up, it’s a struggle every day
Can’t seem to shake this feeling of what I’m lacking
Chorus:
Oh, I don’t want to envy them
But it’s so hard to stay calm
When all I see is what they have
And I want some of that
Verse 2:
I see their fancy cars, their big homes
And I know I can’t have none of that
But I don’t want to be unhappy, so I keep my head up and I keep on pushing
Trying to find a way to make my dreams come true
Chorus:
Oh, I don’t want to envy them
But it’s so hard to stay calm
When all I see is what they have
And I want some of that
Bridge:
I know there’s something better out there for me
I just need to keep my head up and believe
That one day, I’ll be where they are, and I won’t be envious anymore
Chorus:
Oh, I don’t want to envy them now
But I don’t want to be sad either
So I’m gonna take a deep breath and try to let it go
And live my life, the way that I choose
這首歌的歌詞表達了主人公對他人物質生活的羨慕,但又試圖保持冷靜的心態。她意識到這種羨慕不會改變現狀,所以她選擇深呼吸,嘗試放下它,過自己的生活。這是一種自我調節和自我接納的表達方式。
