蔡依林 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
衣服穿什麼 走什麼風格
為什麼覺得妳的一切那麼眼熟
那口紅的顏色 連走路的動作
忙了幾個鐘頭努力當個分身幹什麼
做事要原則 做人要獨特
一旦失去自我 下一步該怎麼走
前後 左右 可都是對手
Up Up 抬起頭 Up Up 舉個手
Up Up 想個屬於你自己的招牌動作
Up Up 甩個頭 Up Up 扭一扭
Hey Come On Everybody
通通被你迷惑
Up Up 動一動 Up Up 舉個手
Up Up 想個屬於你自己的招牌動作
Up Up 甩個頭 Up Up 扭一扭
Hey Come On Everybody
他的目光會被你掌握
暫停一秒鐘 想到了沒有
沒有什麼對錯只要切記千萬別做作
一旦找到自我
看一眼就會記得
隨波逐流可不會快樂
Up Up 抬起頭 Up Up 舉個手
Up Up 想個屬於你自己的招牌動作
Up Up 甩個頭 Up Up 扭一扭
Hey Come On Everybody
他的目光會被你掌握
Hey 不會錯 最簡單那個動作
不會錯 沒有人和妳會相同
Up Up 抬起頭 Up Up 舉個手
Up Up 想個屬於你自己的招牌動作
Up Up 甩個頭 Up Up 扭一扭
Hey Come On Everybody
通通被你迷惑
Up Up 動一動 Up Up 舉個手

The lyrics of 蔡依林's song "招牌動作" (Trademark Moves) are about embracing one's uniqueness and individuality. The song encourages the listener to lift their head up high and not be shy or self-conscious. It talks about choosing one's own style and being confident in it, rather than imitating others. The lyrics suggest that being true to oneself and having a distinct personality and approach to life is important.
The song emphasizes the need for principles in actions and the importance of being unique as a person. It questions the idea of following the same old path and emphasizes the need to be ahead of others. It also suggests that once one loses their sense of self, they might feel lost in deciding the next steps to take. The lyrics make it clear that one's competitors could be anyone - those who are both in front and behind, to the left and to the right.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to lift their head, raise their hand, have their own trademark moves, shake their head, and twist their body. It's a call to action for each individual to express themselves confidently, captivating the gaze of others and leaving a lasting impression. It emphasizes that simplicity in these actions is key and that there is no one who will be the same as the listener.

2004年Jolin推出這首歌，同張精選輯內還有另一首目前熱度也很高的「單身公害」，接著同年她也在中山足球場舉辦出道以來的首場大型售票巡演J1 Live Concert ，從2004年第一輪巡演到2024年的Ugly Beauty Tour已經是第五輪，時間跨越20年，我從招牌動作開始愛上她，當時還是小學生，現在也快30歲，Jolin也陪了好多人一起成長，雖然已經隔6年新專輯還沒個影，但她的歌曲卻怎麼也不會聽膩。
