Surface Pressure (From "Encanto"/Soundtrack Version)
 作词 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
 作曲 : Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm the strong one
I'm not nervous
I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is
I move mountains
I move churches
And I glow 'cause I know what my worth is
I don't ask how hard the work is
Got a rough, indestructible surface
Diamonds and platinum
I find 'em I flatten 'em
I take what I'm handed
I break what's demanded, but
Under the surface
I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus
Under the surface
Was Hercules ever like
“Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?”
Under the surface
I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service
A flaw or a crack
The straw in the stack
That breaks the camel's back
What breaks the camel's back?
It's pressure like a drip, drip, drip
That'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip
Till you just go pop, whoa-uh-uh
Give it to your sister
Your sister's older
Give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder
Who am I if I can't run with the ball?
If I fall to
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip
And it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick
Till it's ready to blow, whoa-uh-uh
Give it to your sister
Your sister's stronger
See if she can hang on a little longer
Who am I if I can't carry it all?
If I falter
Under the surface
I hide my nerves, and it worsens
I worry something is gonna hurt us
Under the surface
The ship doesn't swerve
Has it heard how big the iceberg is?
Under the surface
I think about my purpose
Can I somehow preserve this?
Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows
You try to stop it topplin' but on and on it goes, but wait
lf I could shake
The crushing weight of expectations
Would that free some room up for joy
Or relaxation or simple pleasure?
Instead, we measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing
Keep going
'Cause all we know is
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop, whoa
Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip till you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt, and
See if she can handle every family burden
Watch as she buckles and bends but neverbreaks
No mistakes just
Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go, whoa
Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it's ready to blow, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister and never wonder
lf the same pressure would've pulled you under
Who am I if I don't have what it takes?
No cracks, no breaks
No mistakes
No pressure
