"The Other Me"是由Paul McCartney創作的一首歌曲,這首歌曲在1979年作為專輯"Give My Regards to Broad Street"的一部分。
歌詞內容如下:
Verse 1:
I'm standing in the mirror, I'm looking at myself
And I don't recognize the face that I see
It's not the Paul I remember, it's someone I don't know
Chorus:
The other me, the other me
Living a life so different from mine
The other me, the other me
But he's somewhere inside
Verse 2:
He goes out into the world, takes a different path
Does things that I would never have imagined
But there's a smile on his face, and he doesn't feel alone
Chorus:
The other me, the other me
Living a life so different from mine
The other me, the other me
But he's somewhere inside
Bridge:
He may be laughing or crying, he may be up or down
But he's still there, somewhere inside
Chorus:
The other me, the other me
Living a life so different from mine
The other me, the other me
Oh but he's still there somewhere inside
在這個歌詞中,"The Other Me"是描述了一個保羅認為他認識的人,但卻在鏡子裡看到了完全陌生的人,這是他在另一面的生活中的另一個自我。儘管他們住在不同的生活環境,做著不同的選擇,但他們都有一個共同的根源——那就是“我”。他可能是正在經歷喜悅、悲傷,正在處於上坡路還是下坡路,但是,無論身處何處,他們都堅信內心的“我”會一直在他們身邊。這是一個對於個體多面性的描繪,表達了每個人都有多個自我,都在嘗試尋找自己真正的身份和定位。
