Sk8er Boi
Avril Lavigne곡 소개
'He was a boy / She was a girl'이라는 더없이 단순한 첫 줄로, 화자는 누구나 아는 학창 시절의 그림을 펼칩니다. 펑크를 좋아하던 스케이터 소년과 발레를 하던 여자아이. 소년은 마음을 품지만, 여자아이는 친구들의 시선과 그의 헐렁한 옷차림을 핑계로 그를 밀어냅니다. 'See you later, boy'라는 한마디로 인연은 끊어집니다.
곡의 묘미는 5년 뒤의 반전에 있습니다. 그 여자아이는 홀로 아이를 키우며 TV를 켰다가, MTV 무대에서 록스타가 된 그 소년을 발견합니다. 'Now he's a super star / Slammin' on his guitar'라며, 한때 시시하다고 외면했던 상대의 진짜 가치를 뒤늦게 마주하게 되는 셈입니다.
그리고 노래의 화자가 누구인지가 밝혀집니다. 지금 그 스타의 곁에 있는 사람은 바로 이 이야기를 들려주던 '나'입니다. 'Sorry, girl, but you missed out / Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now'라며, 겉모습 너머의 영혼을 알아본 자신이 결국 그를 차지했다고 통쾌하게 선언합니다.
Sk8er Boi는 아브릴 라빈의 2002년 데뷔작 'Let Go'에 수록된 스케이트 펑크 곡으로, 빌보드 핫 100 10위에 올라 그의 두 번째 연속 톱10 히트가 되었습니다. 이듬해 그래미 최우수 여성 록 보컬 퍼포먼스 부문 후보에도 올랐습니다. 비평가들은 곡의 영리한 후렴과 위트를 호평했고, 외모와 또래 압력으로 사람을 판단하던 십대 세계를 단숨에 뒤집는 서사가 라빈을 한 시대의 아이콘으로 각인시켰습니다.

He was a boy She was a girl Can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk She did ballet What more can I say? He wanted her She'd never tell Secretly she wanted him as well But all of her friends Stuck up their nose They had a problem with his baggy clothes He was a skater boy She said, "See you later, boy" He wasn't good enough for her She had a pretty face But her head was up in space She needed to come back down to earth Five years from now She sits at home Feeding the baby, she's all alone She turns on TV Guess who she sees Skater boy rockin' up MTV She calls up her friends They already know And they've all got tickets to see his show She tags along And stands in the crowd Looks up at the man that she turned down He was a skater boy She said, "See you later, boy" He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a super star Slammin' on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth? He was a skater boy She said, "See you later, boy" He wasn't good enough for her Now he's a super star Slammin' on his guitar Does your pretty face see what he's worth? Sorry, girl, but you missed out Well, tough luck, that boy's mine now We are more than just good friends This is how the story ends Too bad that you couldn't see See the man that boy could be There is more that meets the eye I see the soul that is inside He's just a boy And I'm just a girl Can I make it any more obvious? We are in love Haven't you heard How we rock each other's world I'm with the skater boy I said, "See you later, boy" I'll be back stage after the show I'll be at a studio Singing the song we wrote About a girl you used to know I'm with the skater boy I said, "See you later, boy" I'll be back stage after the show I'll be at a studio Singing the song we wrote About a girl you used to know
