Kelly Clarkson有力的歌聲總能給予聽者奮發向上的勇氣,就像是一針強心劑,能讓埋藏在你心中的力量噴薄而出。萎靡不振的時候,只需將這首“Invincible”單曲循環播放,想象著自己披荊斬棘的帥氣模樣,似乎就有了戰勝一切的力量。Invincible意為“無可戰勝的”,而無敵、無懼、無可戰勝既是Kelly對聽眾的鼓舞,更是她對自己的寄語。
Kelly五歲時父母離異,這使她過早地體會到了生活的艱辛。中學時,她的音樂天賦被合唱團老師發掘,她便立志要走音樂這條道路。在之后的人生中,她背負著音樂夢想在社會底層摸爬滾打,為了生計當過服務生,還做過紅牛公司的宣傳女郎……正如歌中所唱,各種打擊“像瀑布一樣砸在她身上”。但是只要追尋夢想的勇氣還在,人生就總會有轉機。在2002年第一季《美國偶像》選秀節目中,Kelly一舉奪冠,從此大紅大紫。她的天賦加努力讓她成為歐美樂壇不可撼動的存在。從一個柔弱的小女孩成長為一個不可戰勝的堅強女性,“Invincible”這首歌唱出了Kelly的經歷,也給在困難面前恐懼害怕、躑躅不前的人以前行的動力。
人生需要經歷多少艱難,才能獲得不懼雨暴風狂的勇氣?此刻的你或許正經歷著苦痛,忍受著平庸,擁有夢想卻覺得夢想太過遙遠。你羨慕別人的堅毅,你渴望別人的成功,但其實無論多成功的人,都經歷過和你一樣的迷茫,都品嘗過和你一樣的苦澀,都曾和你一樣平凡、卑微。只有歷經風霜而不倒,嘗遍挫折而不放棄,才能修煉出無可戰勝的內心。正所謂,心已成鋼,何懼雨暴風狂。

You know I was broke down, I had hit the ground.
I was crying out, I couldn't make no sound.
No one hears the silent tears collecting.
You know I had lost hope, I was all alone.
Never been so long till you came along.
Teacher, I feel the dots connecting.
※ Beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall.
'Cause I can take on so much more than I had ever dreamed.
So beat down on me, beat down like a waterfall.
'Cause baby, I am ready to be free.
* Now I am invincible.
No, I ain't a scared little girl no more.
Yeah, I am invincible.
What was I running for?
I was hiding from the world.
I was so afraid, I felt so unsure.
Now I am invincible.
Another perfect storm. * ※
Now I am a warrior, a shooting star,
Know I got this far, had a broken heart.
No one hears the silent tears collecting.
'Cause it's being weak, but strong in the truth I found.
I have courage now, gonna shout it all out.
Teacher, I feel the dots connecting.
(Refrain ※)
I was running from an empty threat
of emptiness.
I was running from an empty threat
that didn't exist.
I was running from an empty threat
of abandonment.
I was running from an empty threat
that didn't exist.
But Now I am invincible.
No, I ain't a scared little girl no more.
Yeah, I am invincible.
What was I running for?
I was hiding from the world.
I was so afraid, I felt so unsure.
Now I am invincible.
Another perfect storm.
(Refrain *)
