怕黑
言承旭 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
孤单的夜晚是什么颜色
我还在猜想着
车走了 我依然在愣着
返往的只是没什么规则
我想着想着就叫了
爱究竟伤了谁 救了谁
流泪的流泪 欣慰的欣慰
伤悲的伤悲能绝对 我承认怕黑
空房间 你留下你的美
感觉你还躺在我的左边
拥抱着我入睡
夜再黑 我拼命睁着眼
感觉你走近在我的眼前
却一步一步退到边缘
爱究竟伤了谁 救了谁
流泪的流泪 欣慰的欣慰
爱究竟有多累 有多美
伤悲的伤悲能绝对 我承认怕黑
夜里的微光 找不到方向
害怕黑色是我的信仰
放弃了慌张 放弃了迷惘
我的彼岸在某个地方
In the song 怕黑 (Afraid of the Dark) by 言承旭, the lyrics convey feelings of loneliness, uncertainty, and fear of the dark.
The first paragraph sets the scene in a dark night while the singer is waiting for a car. The darkness represents the unknown and the loneliness that comes with it. The singer is left guessing and contemplating their situation, feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. Despite the car leaving, they remain frozen in their spot, indicating a state of confusion and inertia.
The second paragraph delves deeper into the complexities of love and the impact it can have on individuals. The lyrics question who love ultimately hurts and saves, highlighting the duality of emotions experienced in a relationship. Tears represent both sadness and relief, implying that love can bring both joy and pain. The line "爱究竟有多累 有多美" (How tiring and beautiful love can be) emphasizes the contrasting nature of love, acknowledging its challenges and beauty.
The third paragraph introduces the concept of an empty room left behind by someone significant. The singer still feels the presence of this person, imagining them lying next to them. This imagery portrays longing and a desire for closeness even when physically apart. The singer is unwilling to fall asleep, keeping their eyes open as if holding onto the memory of that person. However, they also sense this person gradually pulling away, creating a sense of distance and a bittersweet realization that the connection is fading.
The final paragraph expresses the fear and uncertainty that emerges in the darkness. The singer is unable to find a direction or purpose, and the black color becomes a symbolic representation of their belief system. It implies that the singer's fear of the dark is ingrained in their identity, possibly relevant to their overall outlook on life. However, the lyrics also suggest a turning point as they acknowledge abandoning panic and confusion, implying a willingness to let go of fear and find their own place or purpose in life.
Overall, the lyrics of 言承旭's 怕黑 delve into themes of loneliness, love's complexity, and personal fears. It portrays a journey of self-discovery and acceptance amidst the uncertainties and challenges faced in the darkness of life.

Lyrics :
It's getting dark and I'm still waiting for the car
what color is the lonely night
I'm still guessing
The car left and I was still in a daze
There are no rules
I called after thinking about it
Who does love hurt and who does it save?
tears of tears tears of joy
How tired and beautiful love is
Sadness can be absolute, I admit that I am afraid of the dark
Empty room you leave your beauty
I feel like you're still lying on my left side
hug me to sleep
No matter how dark the night is, I desperately keep my eyes open
I feel you approaching in front of my eyes
step by step back to the edge
Who does love hurt and who does it save?
tears of tears tears of joy
How tired and beautiful love is
Sadness can be absolute, I admit that I am afraid of the dark
The dim light at night can't find the direction
Fear of black is my belief
give up panic give up confusion
my shore is somewhere
