耿
汪苏泷 Lyrics

The lyrics to "耿" by 汪苏泷 (Wang Su Long) revolve around the theme of longing and regret in a past romantic relationship. The song reflects on the memories and emotions experienced by the singer, who reminisces about a former love. The lyrics paint a picture of a time when the two were close, sitting next to each other, but as time passed and circumstances changed, they grew apart.

The song begins with the mention of how the singer used to admire the profile of their love interest, but as time went on, they forgot to leave messages in a message book. The lyrics express the singer's curiosity about the feelings of their lover, asking if they ever liked them, if they ever went home, and if they ever read the notes left for them. The song highlights the naivety of their belief in an eternal connection and questions whether their love interest still smiles or has any lingering thoughts. The singer wonders if their love interest has any regrets and why they remain silent.

The chorus suggests that perhaps this is the end of their relationship, that they won't be able to be together. The singer contemplates their luck, accepting the fact that they cannot accompany their love interest through the rain they desire to experience. The lyrics encourage them to smile and wipe away their tears, asking if they will resent the singer and at least, not forget them. The song touches on the idea that everyone has their own regrets and scars in their hearts, but some people pretend to forget them.

The repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's longing for their love interest and their frustration with growing up and learning to hide their emotions. The lyrics describe how they silently wait by the phone, shedding tears of regret that still haunt them.

Overall, "耿" by 汪苏泷 delves into the complex emotions of longing, regret, and the bittersweetness of past relationships.
