我坐在床前
望着窗外回忆满天
生命是华丽错觉
时间是贼偷走一切七岁的那一年
抓住那只蝉
以为能抓住夏天十七岁的那年
吻过他的脸
就以为和他能永远有没有那麽一种永远
永远不改变
拥抱过的美丽
都再也不破碎
让险峻岁月不能
在脸上撒野
让生离和死别都遥远
有谁能听见我坐在床前
转过头看谁在沉睡
那一张苍老的脸
好像是我紧闭双眼曾经是爱我的
和我深爱的
都围绕在我身边带不走的那些
遗憾和眷恋
就化成最后一滴眼泪有没有那麽一滴眼泪
能洗掉后悔
化成大雨降落在
回不去的街
再给我一次机会
将故事改写
还欠了他一生的
一句抱歉有没有那麽一个世界
永远不天黑
星星太阳万物都
听我的指挥
月亮不忙着圆缺
春天不走远
树梢紧紧拥抱着树叶
有谁能听见耳际眼前此生重演
是我来自漆黑
而又回归漆黑
人间瞬间天地之间
下次我又是谁有没有那麽一朵玫瑰
永远不凋谢
永远骄傲和完美
永远不妥协
为何人生最后会像
一张纸屑
还不如一片花瓣
曾经鲜艳有没有那麽一张书签
停止那一天
最单纯的笑脸和
最美那一年
书包里面装满了
蛋糕和汽水
双眼只有无猜和无邪
让我们无法无天有没有那麽一首诗篇
找不到句点
青春永远定居在
我们的岁月
男孩和女孩都有
吉他和舞鞋
笑忘人间的苦痛
只有甜美有没有那麽一个明天
重头活一遍
让我再次感受
曾挥霍的昨天
无论生存或生活
我都不浪费
不让故事这麽的后悔有谁能听见
我不要告别
我坐在床前
看着指尖已经如烟
五月天凭这首《如烟》入围第20届台湾金曲奖2009最佳作词人奖;
但对我来说这首歌的意义不仅在此。
它更深一层的意义在于它能巧妙地在一首歌词中,
把人的一生细腻地描绘出来,感动听者,引起共鸣。
这,才是真正的好歌词。
It was only until recently when i discovered that 《如烟》 was nominated for 最佳作词人奖 that i went to listen to it carefully one more time. And it was then i realised that it was truly the most 具有代表性song in the whole album. It really talks about how someone looks back on his life, then realise that his whole life was really nothing but smoke – that he didnt really know what he has been up to for the whole of his life. While this may sound really sad and pathetic when you first thought of it, it really made me reflect on my life - how i spent my past 18 years, the many regrets i have made, the many things i have learnt, and the many people and experiences (whether happy or not-so-happy) that i’ve learnt to cherish.
It made me think of what i really wanted in life, and reminded me how much much i would have hated to see my 生命如烟 when it’s all too late for regrets. It really made me reflect, and decide for myself that i need to know what i really want to achieve in life, and that i must work towards it to see it happen. Not that i necessarily must attain great wealth or achieve great success, but I want to be able to at least 对得起自己. Each of us only has one chance in life, and I want to be able to one day look back on mine, and be proud of myself for whatever i did.
So, starting from now, i’m going to put in extra effort in consciously reminding myself to work towards that goal.
Not that i’m been slacking these few months either. Though i havent really been updating for awhile, it wasn’t because Year 6 was uneventful. In fact, it has been quite the opposite. For one, i celebrated my best birthday yet, with all the *闪亮亮* effect from Guitar SYF GWH (YAY I LOVE THE GUITAR PEEPS! WE ROCK :D) [more about this next time, cause i’m going to need super long just to talk about it and once i start i cant stop] and then there was ASEANPLUS and then was hardcore mugging sessions.
i tried to work hard this june, you’ll find me mugging in the school library almost everyday, if not meeting with HWS peeps – they are a real good bunch of ppl to study with! :D but i have a feeling that this CTs is going to be a wasted opportunity for me to practice my examinations skills yet again. [when will i ever learn? SIGH.] but i can feel myself improving! i just hope i improve by a sufficient amount by Prelims though. i was just reminded that it’ll jus be in 9 weeks! ARRGH!
yup simin’s going to be a smart mugger.
she really means it this time.
生命 will not be 如烟.
[sorry if this post sounds rather in coherent and everything – you cant expect a lot from a 2am piece of work >.< ]
