[LYRICS] 救命恩人 / Lifesaver

This song was released as the sixth track of Yen-J's album "謝謝你的美好 / Thank You For Your Greatness  in 2010; and features MP as well as label mates Della (丁噹) and Cosmos People (宇宙人).

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver (x4)

Verse 1:
[嚴爵]
那天晚上回來心情真的有點爛
想不到我的音樂台灣沒有人能聽得慣
我跟不上流行... 我超越了流行?
我打開了電視 看看誰是 number one

哇 竟然是黑澀會美眉
玩笑開夠了沒?她們收買了誰?裡面可愛的叫鬼鬼
我怎麼會知道?
我頓時才明瞭流行不是我想像的那麼一回事

Hook 1 (x2)
[丁噹]
誰才是我的救命恩人 拯救了我的救命恩人

[嚴爵]
我大調都升十一 小調都不降七 那些都不流行耐聽
我編曲都會太密 和弦都會太擠 那些都太jazzy i see 

Verse 2
Machi才是適合饒舌 我只想要唱歌
沒想到現在卻又freestyle了
做了這首歌是為了證明我career 還是會成功的 紅的
我是歌手in-the-making 丹田還是沒力
所以我請MP代替 (MP:哈!)
請你熱烈掌聲鼓勵 脫掉衣服起立
聽MP唱超high的旋律

Hook 2:
[MP魔幻力量]
流行不流行是好聽不好聽
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
跟歌的難度一點都沒關係
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh uh MP)
流行不流行是耐聽不耐聽
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
跟歌的難度一點都沒關係
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, 我們就是流行)

Hook 1
[丁噹] (x2)
誰才是我的救命恩人
拯救了我的救命恩人

[嚴爵]
聽我大調都升十一 小調都不降七 那些都不流行耐聽
我編曲都會太密 和弦都會太擠 那些都太jazzy I see 

Verse 3
三年 總共花了三年
音樂找到妥協 因為稍微多些 某些
那 我們說的 '流行MUSIC'成份 Ok~ 我不得不承認
的確有比以前 好聽一些 也的確比以前 耐聽一些
所以在這首歌 結束以前 讓我聽到宇宙人說一遍 

Hook 2:
[宇宙人]
流行不流行是好聽不好聽
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
跟歌的難度一點都沒關係
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
大家好我們是宇宙人)
流行不流行是耐聽不耐聽
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
跟歌的難度一點都沒關係 
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)

[宇宙人/MP魔幻力量/丁噹]
流行不流行是好聽不好聽
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
跟歌的難度一點都沒關係
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
流行不流行是耐聽不耐聽
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
跟歌的難度一點都沒關係
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)

We're gonna break it down here...
Mad vocals, let me hear some mad vocals.
Everybody GO
Oh~
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver (x4)

Verse 1:
[Yen-J]
When I came back that night, (I was) feeling really lousy
Who knew that there wasn't a single person in Taiwan who could appreciate my music
I can't keep up with the trends… I've surpassed the trends?
So I switched on the TV (to) find out (lit. watch) who's number one

Wow, it turned out to be the girls from Hei Se Hui*
(Are you) done with your jokes? Who did they bribe? Gui gui's* the cute one in (the show)
How did I know (about this)?
It suddenly struck me that being popular wasn't how I imagined it to be

Hook 1 (x2)
[Della]
Who's my lifesaver, the life saver who saved me?

[Yen-J]
^I raise all my major chords to (include) the 11th (note), my minor chords are never lower than (minor) 7ths, (but) all of that is not popular nor catchy
The songs I produce are too packed, having too many chords, (and it's always) too jazzy I see

Verse 2
Rap music's more suited for Machi, I just wanna sing
(But) I didn't realise I started free-styling again
(I'm) composing this song to prove that my career can be successful, (and I can be) popular
I'm a singer in-the-making, but my breathing (lit. diaphragm) is still weak
So I invited MP to substitute me (MP: Ha!)
Please encourage them with a warm round of applause, take off your clothes & stand up (rhyming words)
Listen to MP sing a super high melody

Hook 2:
[Magic Power]
Whether (a song) is popular or not depends on whether it's nice to listen to or not
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
It has nothing to do with the difficulty of the song
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, uh uh MP)
Whether (a song) is popular or not depends on whether it's catchy or not
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
It has nothing to do with the difficulty of the song
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah We're the popular ones)

Hook 1
[Della] (x2)
Who's my lifesaver
The life saver who saved me?

[Yen-J]
Listen to my Major chords raised to the 11th, Minor chords that never drop below the 7th, (but) all of that is not popular nor catchy
The songs I produce are too packed, having too many chords, (and it's always) too jazzy I see

Verse 3
Three years, I spent three years in total
(I've) reached a compromise with (my) music, because (I added) a little something more of this and that
Which is what we call "Popular Music" Ok~ I have to admit
Indeed (my songs) are nicer to listen to than before, & they're more catchy than before as well
So before this song ends, let me hear Cosmos People say it once

Hook 2:
[Cosmos People]
Whether (a song) is popular or not depends on whether it's nice to listen to or not
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
It has nothing to do with the difficulty of the song
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
Hi everyone, we're Cosmos People)
Whether (a song) is popular or not depends on whether it's catchy or not
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
It has nothing to do with the difficulty of the song
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah We're the popular ones)

[Cosmos People/ Magic Power/ Della]
Whether (a song) is popular or not depends on whether it's nice to listen to or not
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
It has nothing to do with the difficulty of the song
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Whether (a song) is popular or not depends on whether it's catchy or not
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah, Lifesaver)
It has nothing to do with the difficulty of the song
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah We're the popular ones)

We're gonna break it down here...
Mad vocals, let me hear some mad vocals.
Everybody GO
Oh~



*In the midst of producing "謝謝你的美好 / Thank You For Your Greatness", Yen-J (who composed this song as well) was 'stuck in Taipei' (i.e. at home) for most of the time. The variety show "我愛黑澀會 / Blackie's Teenage Club" was one of the most popular shows at that time, and the girls from the show were called 黑澀會美眉 (Hei Se Hui Mei Mei, Blackie's Teenage Club's Younger Sister). 鬼鬼 (Gui gui) who was mentioned in this song, had the highest popularity in the show. The show ended in 2009 though.

^These are really technical musical terms about chord extensions, so, if you don't really understand what Yen-J is talking about, don't worry, you're not the only one.
