A Song a day: 26th Apr 2015 (相對論 – Hins Cheung/Hins Cheung and George Lam)

The song for today is “相對論” by Hins Cheng. As the melody was written by George Lam, there is a version that features George Lam (which I will also link to). The direct English translation of the title is “Relativity”.

The lyrics of the song are the protagonist understanding of love. It said, The mortal world is large, and it is nice to walk together, who wouldn’t wish for that. But that night, when she left, he felt that he is like a butterfly looking at Zhuang Zhou, existence and reality are two different things. (Zhuang Zhou is an ancient Chinese philosopher. A better known philosophy by Zhuang Zhou was “莊周夢蝶” (Zhuang Zhou dream butterfly), in which he had a dream, in the dream he turned into butterfly. After he woke up, he realised that he is still himself, a human. So he said how could be distinguish between reality and dream, if dream is real enough, no one could identify it as a dream.) He will keep roving. Before he was a teenager that chase after his dream, but that is just the back of loneliness. Previously he keep moving forward, then comes a period that he fall a lot. Previously he care the things right in front of him, and he never really care about the things that he left behind. But now he understand that things got a few faces, and it shows differences when it changes. Love is a limitless bubble, so just let it cover you. But it melts into your life and repeat every day. Keep living in a life that you look forward to everything, and relatively you feel happier. This moment he felt the inner peace and comfort, but he cried, cried, cried. He still wishes for a lot of things, but not getting them doesn’t need a reason. Someone once warmed his heart, but he have to bear with it now when it got cold. Floating on the road and they meet again, perhaps fate tight them together, who would have thought about this feeling after goodbye, it is too old to even become friend on internet. Previously, he looks for forever, and saw present. Never asked butterfly and Zhuang Zhou, but asked whether there is more time that he could steal. Existence and reality, if they are different, then he could only keep searching. Hope you will like the song.
