Stan究竟表达的是什么意思？

一个人名，一首歌名，也是一个故事。

歌曲就是讲了一个叫Stan（虚构的）的歌迷，给歌手Slim写了很多信（歌曲中提到两封，倒数第二段是录音），都没有回应，所以很生气，失去了理智，走向极端，将女友绑在车里，想去自尽。

Stan把遗言说完后，才想起来，万一自己死了，怎么寄出遗言，刹车，但还是坠湖了。最后一段是Slim给Stan的回信，并且发现Stan已经死去。

英文版：

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

it's not so bad

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

it's not so bad

rap：Dear Slim I wrote but you still ain't callin

I left my cell my pager and my home phone at the bottom

I sent two letters back in autumn you must not-a got 'em

There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin

Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em

but anyways fuck it what's been up Man how's your daughter

My girlfriend's pregnant too I'm bout to be a father

If I have a daughter guess what I'ma call her

I'ma name her Bonnie

I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry

I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn'

t want him

I know you probably hear this everyday but I'm your biggest fan

I even got the underground shit that you did with Skam

I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man

I like the shit you did with Rawkus too that shit was fat

Anyways I hope you get this man hit me back

just to chat truly yours your biggest fan

This is Stan

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

it's not so bad

rap：Dear Slim you still ain't called or wrote I hope you have a chance

I ain't mad - I just think it's FUCKED UP you don't answer fans

If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert

you didn't have to but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew

That's my little brother man he's only six years old

We waited in the blistering cold for you

four hours and you just said No

That's pretty shitty man - you're like his fuckin idol

He wants to be just like you man he likes you more than I do

I ain't that mad though I just don't like bein lied to

Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you

you would write back - see I'm just like you in a way

I never knew my father neither

he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her

I can relate to what you're saying in your songs

so when I have a shitty day I drift away and put 'em on

cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed

I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest

Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds

It's like adrenaline the pain is such a sudden rush for me

See everything you say is real and I respect you cause you tell it

My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7

But she don't know you like I know you Slim no one does

She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up

You gotta call me man I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

Sincerely yours Stan -- P S

We should be together too

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

it's not so bad

rap：Dear Mister I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans

this'll be the last package I ever send your ass

It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it

I know you got my last two letters

I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect

So this is my cassette I'm sending you I hope you hear it

I'm in the car right now I'm doing 90 on the freeway

Hey Slim I drank a fifth of vodka you dare me to drive

You know the song by Phil Collins In the Air of the Night

about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning

but didn't then Phil saw it all then at a a show he found him

That's kinda how this is you coulda rescued me from drowning

Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now I'm drowsy

and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call

I hope you know I ripped +ALL+ of your pictures off the wall

I love you Slim we coulda been together think about it

You ruined it now I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it

I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me

See Slim screaming Shut up bitch I'm tryin to talk

Hey Slim that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk

but I didn't slit her throat I just tied her up see I ain't like you

cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more and then she'll die too

Well gotta go I'm almost at the bridge now

Oh shit I forgot how'm I supposed to send this shit out

My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I

got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window

and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray

but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad

it's not so bad

rap：Dear Stan I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy

You said your girlfriend's pregnant now how far along is she

Look I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that

and here's an autograph for your brother

I wrote it on the Starter cap

I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show I musta missed you

Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you

But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too

I say that shit just clowning dogg

c'mon - how fucked up is you

You got some issues Stan I think you need some counseling

to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some

And what's this shit about us meant to be together

That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other

I really think you and your girlfriend need each other

or maybe you just need to treat her better

I hope you get to read this letter I just hope it reaches you in time

before you hurt yourself I think that you'll be doin just fine

if you relax a little I'm glad I inspire you but Stan

why are you so mad Try to understand that I do want you as a fan

I just don't want you to do some crazy shit

I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick

Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

and had his girlfriend in the trunk and she was pregnant with his kid

and in the car they found a tape but they didn't say who it was to

Come to think about his name was it was you

Damn

歌曲形式新颖，风格独特，采样动听。用一首6分钟的歌曲、4封信件讲述了一个惊心动魄、一波三折、层层递进的精彩故事，配上MV更是故事感极强，这样的叙事功力实属鲜见。总之，Stan不一定最好听，但它足以在史上最伟大的说唱歌曲中占有一席之地。

辟谣一下，你姆在一次采访里说过，stan的故事不是真的，他只是以这个故事警示歌迷分清他歌中的虚实
