Romance
蔡依林 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
煽情愛情電影 電光火石 已驚天動地
浪漫有毒 總是有人 吐血都甜蜜
不像我們 為了方便 湊合在一起
帶我退隱江湖 淡泊名利 生一羣天使
或者愛得慘烈 槍林彈雨 受千夫所指
看圖識字 「熱戀」上面 就是我和你
我要的 不過是 小小的 羅曼史
有燭光 有玫瑰 有糾纏 有盟誓
不需要 很高級 只求能 愛到死
反正我 沒有價值
其實 我要的 不過是 標準的 羅曼史
從相愛 到分離 場場是 高潮戲
粉紅色 包裝紙 一拆開
竟然是 該死的 寫實主義
眼淚 不夠寫成詩
讓我最後一次 靠你胸膛 夜賞櫻花雨
弦樂鋪天蓋地 全國哀悼 情感的葬禮
我想慢慢 用血刺青 分手的淒迷
你用手機 隨隨便便 發我兩個字 僅此而已
我要的 不過是 小小的 羅曼史
有燭光 有玫瑰 有糾纏 有盟誓
不需要 很高級 最好能 愛到死
反正我 也很便宜
也許 我要的 其實是 重口的 羅曼史
哀豔到 心臓麻痺 很可惜
粉紅色 包裝紙 一拆開
竟然是 我們的 平凡無奇
浪漫 已死在哪裡
The lyrics of 蔡依林's song 愛的羅曼死 can be interpreted as a reflection on the various forms and outcomes of love, particularly in the context of romantic relationships. The lyrics describe how love can be both extraordinary and unpredictable, taking people on unexpected journeys and causing intense emotions. The lines "煽情愛情電影 電光火石 已驚天動地" (Romantic love movies, sparks flying, have already shocked the world) depict love as a powerful force that can captivate and change everything.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea that romance can be both intoxicating and bittersweet. The lines "浪漫有毒 總是有人 吐血都甜蜜" (Romance is toxic, some people find even vomiting blood sweet) convey the notion that love can be addictive and even in the face of difficulties, some people find it worth it. However, the lyrics then draw a contrast between this idea and the singer's own perspective. The lines "不像我們 為了方便 湊合在一起" (Unlike us, who come together out of convenience) suggest that the singer and their partner may have settled for a relationship that lacks the intensity and passion of the romantic ideal.
The latter part of the song explores the singer's desires and expectations for love. They express a yearning for a simple and traditional romantic story, with elements such as candlelight, roses, entanglement, and vows. The lyrics further emphasize the singer's rejection of high standards and the longing for a love that lasts until death. However, the lyrics go on to lament that the reality of love often falls short of these romantic ideals, and in the end, the singer questions where romance has gone.
Overall, 蔡依林's 愛的羅曼死 is a contemplative and somewhat disillusioned reflection on the complexities and contradictions of love, contrasting the ideals of romance with the sometimes mundane reality.

蔡開口說的那句：老套的劇情，在現實世界裡，還是不斷的再上演。
就說明了這MV的結果，她以靈魂的方式俯瞰世界，人事物都一樣沒改變，像我們這段故事，還是有人一直再上演著，然後接下來音樂就搭配著她特別的吟唱前導，給人靈異超現實的氛圍再帶進故事裡。
鳳小岳：「我終於見到妳了」
蔡依林：「你怎麼也來了」
（岳在靈界裡與蔡相遇了，也解釋最後兩個空椅的畫面）
蔡依林：「要是我當上警察第一個就抓你」
是... 你當上警察了 妳第一個真的是抓到我了...但我們卻在靈界裡上演這段我們的承諾。
愛的羅曼死（史）
為何是用「死」而不是「史」
因為劇情就是已死亡為主軸
一對戀人 都在死亡後再相遇。
還有注意看鳳小岳去殺陳竹昇那個打鬥場景，混混群當時竟然在唱［紅衣女孩］！！！
滿滿的彩蛋，滿滿的細節！
金曲不給她到底要給誰啦！
用心做好每一首歌的故事
起，承，轉，合。
這就是蔡依林另人佩服的地方
我的女王，我的精神。

有記憶以來就一直喜歡蔡依林。
從七十二變到現在
姐一直都是流行 首首唱出人們的心聲
在每個時代都是。
生在有蔡依林的時代，有她陪著我們成長
真的很幸福。
這張專輯 從看到怪美的就一直驚嘆到現在
不敢說自己是多資深的粉絲
但看到蔡依林能一直突破自己 面對自己
現在有國際的名氣
卻依然不忘本 用歌來說故事 道盡每個人的故事
生活就是這樣老套的劇情
卻又總是動人。
姐值得我們心中每一座金曲 金馬獎。
每首歌出來感觸都很深
一直單曲循環
這首也是
深深的憂傷
重複聽 情緒堆疊 真的很厲害。

導演真的拍的太好。劇情也非常吸引。看了很多遍也不厭。jolin 跟其他人的表演也非常到位。這只是一個mv，但是可伸展到一個那麼完整深刻的劇本，真不簡單。

第二次看歌詞
第三次聽歌
