大衛寶兒(David Bowie)秘密抗癌18個月,保密工夫做足沒漏出半點風聲,不過,大衛離世前數日公開的新歌《Lazarus》MV中,竟出現他在病床上垂死爭扎的場面,而歌詞亦提及「在天國」及「自由」等字眼,創作時已患病的他,似在透過音樂作出死亡預告!

《Lazarus》首句歌詞便是「Look up here, I'm in heaven」(看這裏,我在天國),正正切合大衛已撒手塵寰的事實,「I've got scars that can't be seen」(我有看不見的疤痕),以及「Look up here, man, I'm in danger」(看這裏,我身在危險中),似在隱喻自己患上頑疾,「I was living like a king」(我曾活像國王)、「Then I used up all my money」(之後花光了所有錢),就像他的人生寫照,最後更多次出現「I'll be free」(我將會自由),甚有即將離開的意味。

歌曲MV亦具有濃厚的死亡色彩,片中大部分時間都是大衛在病床上痛苦爭扎的場面,中段他站起來展現招牌舞蹈,稍稍重現其巨星風采,似是向樂迷作最後道別,末段他痛苦地在寫字,不難令人聯想他在執筆寫遺書,最後一幕他走進像極棺材的衣櫃裏作結,感覺十分悲傷。

《Lazarus》歌詞全文

 

Look up here, I'm in heaven

I've got scars that can't be seen

I've got drama, can't be stolen

Everybody knows me now

 

Look up here, man, I'm in danger

I've got nothing left to lose

I'm so high it makes my brain whirl

Dropped my cell phone down below

 

Ain't that just like me

 

By the time I got to New York

I was living like a king

Then I used up all my money

I was looking for your ass

 

This way or no way

You know, I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Now ain't that just like me

 

Oh I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Oh I'll be free

Ain't that just like me
