浮躁
王菲 Lyrics

The lyrics of 王菲's song 浮躁 (Fú zào) talk about the restlessness and boredom that people experience during the month of September. The first line mentions how people become anxious and restless during this month, as if feeling trapped or stuck in a certain situation. The second line suggests that September is a time of timelessness, and nothing is going on, which further spells boredom. The third line hints at the fact that people crave a certain level of chaos or complexity in their lives, implying that the absence of problems in their life makes them feel uneasy.

The chorus line repeats that people need something to worry or obsess over since being idle and stress-free leads them to have an unhappy life. As the song progresses, the lyrics provide insight into how people crave for a sense of stability and predictability in their lives, but when they get it, it makes them feel bored and aimless. Finally, the last verse of the song suggests that there is no real end to this cycle, with people constantly oscillating between work and leisure, and craving something that they do not have, merely to feel alive.
