新裤子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
可理想还没实现
看看飞快的时间
谁能感觉到
眼泪流下来
冲动的时候已太远
可是一切太美好
谁能忘掉今天
可理想还没实现
看看飞快的时间
谁能感觉到
眼泪流下来
冲动的时候已太远
可是一切太美好
谁能忘掉今天

These lyrics from "流行一代" by 新裤子 reflect on the changes and challenges faced by a generation as they strive to achieve their ideals and navigate through the swift passage of time. The repetition of the phrase "我们都已改变" (we have all changed) emphasizes the collective experience and transformation that the generation has undergone.
The lyrics acknowledge that while individuals have changed, their ideals and dreams are still unfulfilled. This could suggest a sense of longing and dissatisfaction within the generation, as they may have expected more progress or success by this point in their lives.
The line "看看飞快的时间,谁能感觉到" (look at the fast time, who can feel it) conveys a sense of urgency and the fleeting nature of time. It highlights the difficulty of truly grasping the passage of time and its impact on one's life.
The mention of tears flowing and impulse being too far in the past suggests that there may have been missed opportunities or regrets. It implies that in the face of the rapid changes and the pursuit of their dreams, the generation may have to let go of certain impulsive actions or desires to progress forward.
Despite these challenges, the lyrics also emphasize the beauty and goodness in life. The line "可是一切太美好,谁能忘掉今天" (but everything is too beautiful, who can forget today) suggests that amidst the struggles and unfulfilled dreams, there are still moments of joy and appreciation for the present.
In the context of the title "流行一代" (Generation Pop), these lyrics seem to capture the complex emotions and experiences of a generation that is influenced by popular culture, yet faces their own individual and collective struggles. It speaks to the evocative nature of the passage of time and the constant pursuit of dreams and ideals.
