創作背景
《Am I Wrong》的創作主題是:當處在人生的十字路口時,要對夢想充滿信心,並相信自己的直覺。對尼克和文斯而言,這是一首打開到達他們夢想彼岸之門的歌曲。尼克和文斯擁有著成為國際藝人的夢想,他們明白,音樂能夠幫助他們被挪威之外的聽眾所認識。在錄音室里相互交流過後,二人產生了共同的態度:不會在意他人的言語,並依循直覺去做想做的事情。這份態度致使二人創作了這首歌曲。
歌曲歌詞
英文
Am I wrong
For thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong
For saying that I choose another way?
I ain't trying to do what everybody else doin'
Just 'cause everybody doin' what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home
So am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see (see, see, see)
Am I tripping
For having a vision?
My prediction
I'ma be on the top of the world
Walk your walk and don't look back,
Always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel oh whoa
Fight for yours and don't let go,
Don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel
Am I wrong? (am I wrong?)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh)
Now am I wrong? (am I wrong?)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah)
That's just how I feel,
But that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see (see, see, see)
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
Am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel,
But that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see (see, see, see)
So am I wrong? (am I wrong?)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh)
Now am I wrong? (am I wrong?)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah)
But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
But that's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see (see, see, see)

難道異想天開也是過錯么
難道另闢蹊徑也是罪過么
我絕不會恪守陳規 固步自封停滯不前
不會因為人云亦云 而放棄自己的信仰
我只知道一點 失敗難免但我必將成長
我會走出自己不一樣的道路 勇敢的走下去
我是否錯了 竟然以為自己能夠成就大業
我是否錯了 竟然認為荒誕的夢想就在眼前
但我相信自己能做到 我的信念堅如磐石
我的目標明確不 再荒謬的夢想 我都要去實現
我是瘋了么 竟然期待美好未來
我大膽預計 總有一天我會站在世界之巔
勇敢向前絕不躊躇
跟隨自己心之所向
別被人牽著鼻子走
這是我心中的信念
努力拚搏絕不放棄
切勿比較陷入泥潭
別擔心 你絕對不是一個人在戰鬥
我們和你一心
我是否錯了 竟然以為自己能夠成就大業
我是否錯了 竟然認為荒誕的夢想就在眼前
但我相信自己能做到 我的信念堅如磐石
我的目標明確不 再荒謬的夢想 我都要去實現
如果你告訴我 我錯了 錯了
可我就是要不走尋常路
如果你告訴我 我錯了 錯了
但我只會更加努力去奮鬥
如果你告訴我 我錯了 錯了
可我就是要不走尋常路
如果你想告訴我 這條路走不通
但我只會更加努力去奮鬥
我是否錯了
我是否錯了 竟然以為自己能夠成就大業
我是否錯了
竟然認為荒誕的夢想就在眼前
但我相信自己能做到
我的信念堅如磐石
但我相信自己能做到 我的信念堅如磐石
再荒謬的夢想 我都要去實現
我是否錯了
我是否錯了 竟然以為自己能夠成就大業
我是否錯了
我是否錯了 竟然認為荒誕的夢想就在眼前
但我相信自己能做到
我的信念堅如磐石
我的目標明確不移
再荒謬的夢想 我都要去實現
