末日
王菀之 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
突然你我愛的一切 未曾愛夠已火化
傳聞 的審判馬上來吧
面前有數百種講法 難分真假
這末日理論 像提我 過得好嗎
日子 若果不多了 還想怎花
如果 禍與福都躲不過
就每天當沒明天 捉緊愛人過
將生活還給我 做每天必修功課
就算知歲月無多 無憾的生存過
在愛惜中離座 已經不錯
如常 不可以失方吋嗎
盡回你我那些職責 限期到了也優雅
假設 悲觀放大了的話
蔓延世界氣氛只有 沉鬱孤寡
這末日理論 預言到 那麼可怕
無辜 或者講不上 無奈不假
如果 禍與福都躲不過
就每天當沒明天 捉緊愛人過
將生活還給我 做每天必修功課
就算知歲月無多 無憾的生存過
遇上這好時代 有這雙你我
非走不可時 非走不可 散落茫茫銀河
萬年後 沒有我 誰可救助
最後 誰亦會流過 重要是 留影過
如果 禍與福都躲不過
就每天當沒明天 捉緊愛人過
將生活還給我 別教恐慌擊倒我
就算知歲月無多 平實的生存 每天好好過
很壞之中等最好 也許它計錯
The song "末日" by 王菀之, which translates to "The End of the World", talks about the approaching end of the world and how everything we hold dear will be gone, leaving us with only memories. The song starts off with the line "Tomorrow morning the sky will fall", and this sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it talks about the impending doom that is about to happen. The lyrics also mention the various theories surrounding the end of the world and how it is difficult to discern what is true or not.
The song then shifts its focus to the idea that if we cannot escape the bad things that are destined to happen, we should live each day as if it were our last and cherish those we love. The lyrics urge the listener to take life as a "must-do homework" and to live without regrets. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, mentioning that even after we are gone, our legacy will remain through the memories we leave behind.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the fragility of life and the importance of living each day to the fullest, especially in the face of an unknown future.

那動人時光 不用常回看
能提取溫暖以後渡嚴寒 就關起那間房
最動人時光 未必地老天荒
難忘的因你太念念才難忘
容易眼淚流十年 難在擦乾
還在嘆息那愛戀不到氣絕便已安葬
敎兩人心裡有道不解的咒沒法釋放
