It's amazing how songs can move emotions and have such a great impact on one's mood. I witnessed it for myself earlier this evening as I felt salt water well up in my eyes as I listened to the tracks on my iPod while walking home.
Then I recalled how I felt when I first heard this particular song that my friend wrote and played with his band. It's one of the rare occasions as I could totally connect with it and moved by its lyrics (and melody), despite being someone who sucks at intepreting and understanding chinese lyrics. I wish I could express my innermost feelings and write something like that...
曾经
你的爱是一间空房子
空荡 遗弃 了数十年
那封锁许旧的心扉 你为谁留
缘吹来的男孩在门外
徘徊 期望 了许多夜
你依然还在你房间
凝望比窗户 还要小 的世界
那男孩说
把他 埋在心海里 那 岛 屿
擦去你眼眶外 腐朽的泪痕
但你 早已化为只 信 天 翁
漂泪于往事的茫海中
你的爱是一杯酸咖啡
过期 腐坏 了好多天
那盼望谁来的预位 你为谁留
白开水的男孩在身旁
难以 忘怀 你那股香
你依然还在你位置
凝望比冰块 还要冷 的空椅
那男孩说
把他 埋在心海里 那 岛 屿
擦去你眼眶外 腐朽的泪痕
但你 早已化为只 信 天 翁
漂泪于往事的茫海中
你曾经拍过的景很美 你曾经喝过的水很甜
是否曾经听见他微茫的心声
把他 埋在心海里 那 岛 屿
擦去你眼眶外 腐朽的泪痕
但你 早已化为只 信 天 翁
漂泪于往事的茫海中 流泪于往事的茫海中
停留于往事的茫海中
