人質
張惠妹 Lyrics

The lyrics of 張惠妹's song 人質 (Hostage) depict a dangerous relationship between two people who are holding each other hostage emotionally. The singer describes how she and her partner are playing a toxic game of love that has turned into suspicion and jealousy. Though they both thought they had defined love, it has now become a game of holding their breath, trying to get closer to each other. However, amidst all this, the one thing that she finds herself addicted to is her partner's tenderness, which makes her feel that their love has no gaps. Yet, she finds herself holding a gun and shooting herself in the heart, as she believes that there is nothing left to lose. She says that if love means holding onto something at any cost, then she does not want to fight anymore, as it does not matter to her.

The lyrics of the song speak about how a relationship can turn into a dangerous game of love when one is holding to the other so tightly. The song depicts how love can turn into jealousy and suspicion, ultimately leading to self-harm. The gun used in the song can be seen as a metaphor for the fear and pain that hold people hostage in their relationships. The song warns the listener about the dangers of clinging too tightly to others and the importance of letting go when love becomes toxic.
