牆上的肖像
譚詠麟 Lyrics

The lyrics to "牆上的肖像" by 譚詠麟 (Alan Tam) tell a story of nostalgia and heartbreak. The singer recalls a moment in the past when he stopped at a wall and held hands with his love, looking at a portrait that hung on the wall. They walked together on a sandy road during the hot summer, but little did he know that his love had a different path in mind for the upcoming autumn and winter, leaving him lonely and saddened. The singer continues to walk down the long and lonely road, unable to find a direction, and still haunted by the memories of the love that once was. He watches as the stars no longer shine and the wall that once held good memories now resembles a painful scar, filled with images of the past.

The song can be interpreted as an emotional reflection on past relationships and the pain and hardship that come with letting go. The wall with the portrait serves as a metaphor for the memory of the love that has long since passed, hanging onto something that is now gone. The lyrics also suggest that while we may think we know where our lives are headed, love can alter our plans and lead us in new directions that we didn't expect.
