乐曲内容
She is a pyramid
But with him, she's just a grain of sand
This love's too strong
Like mice and men
Squeezing out the life that should be let in
She was a hurricane
But now she's just a gust of wind
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
Was a force to be reckoned with
She could be a Statue of Liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh, she used to be a pearl, oh
Oh, she used to rule the world, oh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a pearl
She was unstoppable
M.o.v.e 500米口径球面射电望远镜 just like an avalanche
But now she's stuck DEEP in cement
Wishing that they never, ever met
She could be a Statue of Liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh, she used to be a pearl, oh
Yeah, she used to rule the world, oh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a
Do you know that there's a way out, there's a way out
There's a way out, there's a way out?
You don't have to be held down, be held down
Be held down, be held down
'Cause I used to be a shell
Yeah, I let HIM rule my world
My world, oh yeah
But I woke up and grew strong
And I can still go on
And no one can take my pearl
You don't have to be a shell, no
You're the one that rules your world, oh
You are strong and you'll learn
That you can still go on
And you'll always be a, a pearl
She is unstoppable
乐曲赏析
美国新晋超人气歌手凯蒂·佩里全新录音室大碟《Teenage Dream》2010年8月24日北美首播，而歌曲与以往一样总是洋溢着浓浓的青春气息，在舞台的造型也多是摇滚风格，精妙的减龄装扮。
这次新专辑《Teenage Dream》没有人能否定是一张成功的专辑，新专依然保持了凯蒂·佩里多样性的风格，而制作团队更是邀请了尽可能能合作的大腕们：Tricky Stewart、Dr. Luke、Rivers Cuomo和 Max Martin ，四位当今乐坛流行音乐制作人的重新组合，确保了《Teenage Dream》能与蕾哈娜、Lady Gaga 和碧昂丝·诺斯以及所有制作各种各样的歌曲的明星们竞争。就上张专辑而言，《Teenage Dream》比上一张专拍节再快一点，更能感受到凯蒂·佩里现场舞蹈的活力，仿佛在歌曲的背后看到能与凯蒂夹在舞伴们中间手舞足蹈，我们弄不清楚身上的汗水是你自己的还是你身旁的人的。”
