XGはゴリゴリにHiphop slangを歌うので意味取りづらいですよね。ネイティブじゃないと真のイメージは理解しづらく前後の意味が重なりあってます。 「Looking fresh」はフレッシュというそのままの意味とイケてるということ、そのフレッシュを持ってきて「(直訳)緑色の食べ物」に掛けつつ、食べ物にまで気を遣ってるし that greenなのでそのフレッシュ(イケてる)は体内に、内側もイケてるみたいな感じです。 そのイメージを繋げて「Head to my toes shinin' like canary diamonds 」 頭からつま先まで(身体は食べ物からできてる)輝いてるし、「like canary diamonds」のようにねと続きます。 canary diamondsはネットで画像見てください。綺麗な黄色みのダイヤです。 そしてその後に来る「going stupid, saucin(g)」まできます。 Saucingは、スラングのjuice と似た意味ですがjuiceより格上的な意味で、食べ物にかけまくるソースから敷衍して“これが私たちよ、圧倒するわ”みたいな意味なんですよね。拙い日本語でしか説明できなく雰囲気で伝われば嬉しいです。 Flesh, green diet, canary, saucinとどれも色合い的なイメージや食べ物に対する連想と彼女達の圧倒的なパフォーマンスの努力や表現、メッセージ性が2重3重に重なってます！ 補足(Going stupid, saucingの部分でハーヴィがBillboard に答えてます) Harvey told Billboard: When I hear this line, I think of someone strong that can’t be beaten by anyone. I really like the lyrics, since they express the desire to keep chasing a dream with a strong foundation, no matter how uncertain things may be! I feel very strong when I sing this part!
