Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have two eyes but I cannot see
I have a heart but I cannot feel anything
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
I got a mouth but it doesn't say

The things I want it to say today, anyway
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress

Still, there is a time when moments can be sweet
And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Sometimes it feels like I'm all alone
Most of the time, actually, I am alone

That's alright
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
If I had a million bucks it wouldn't matter
'Cause my soul's always climbing a ladder

Oh, I know
Don't give up now, I'm almost there
Life's just an ugly mess
The angry souls in such distress

Still, there is a time when moments can be sweet




And it feels like someone's smiling down on me
Alright

Overall Meaning

The song "道" by the musician 道 showcases a deep sense of self-reflection and introspection through its lyrics. In the first few lines of the song, the singer describes a feeling of numbness and disconnection from their emotions, despite having all the necessary organs to feel deeply - eyes, heart, and mouth. This sense of detachment is further emphasized in the repetition of the line "don't give up now, I'm almost there," as though the singer is trying to reach a place where they can fully experience and express themselves.


The second verse delves into the idea that life is often messy and filled with angry souls in distress, but there are also moments of sweetness and lightness. The singer acknowledges feeling alone most of the time, but also asserts that it's alright. The bridge of the song emphasizes the value of personal growth, stating that even if the singer had all the money in the world, their soul would still be climbing a ladder towards self-improvement. The song ends with a reiteration of the idea that life is messy but there are still moments of beauty and hope, encouraging the listener not to give up.


Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on the human experience - the struggle to connect with oneself and others, the importance of personal growth, and the value of finding joy in small moments.

《倩女幽魂2》經典台詞修道之人心中有佛,明知道是假的也沒法克服。(把佛理解為法律,明知當權者違法也鬥不過) 2,寧采臣:人家說午時斬首,怎麼會三更半夜行刑呢?
諸葛臥龍:一定又是高官子弟犯了罪找替死鬼,三更半夜才分辨不出誰是誰嘛。諸葛臥龍:誰知道寫遊記,被人說我泄露國家機密。寫歷史,說我借古諷今。註解兵法,又說我策動謀反。寫神怪故事吧,又說我導人迷信。最後改寫名人傳記,結果這個名人失事,被定為亂黨,我跟他一塊被判個終身監禁。普渡慈航:南無極樂世界,西天如來法駕在此!左千戶闖入慈航大殿後稱呼:江大人,楊大人,李大人。江大人,怎麼是個虛殼,楊大人,也是個虛殼,這是什麼地方,你們是什麼妖魔鬼怪,把這些名臣大將的血肉弄到哪裡去了?(江、楊、李.......)
燕赤霞:你真大膽,連如來佛也敢假冒,你還有什麼不敢做的?
知秋一葉:你這卑鄙妖怪,再繼續扮下去,連自己都信以為是真的!
寧采臣:你怎麼扮都沒用,我要把你的假面目公諸於世!
普渡慈航:世人都喜歡偶像崇拜,為什麼你們要跟世人作對呢?
燕赤霞:我呸!就因為世人無知,才會被你乘虛而入,就是要崇拜也不會崇拜你這種妖怪,你別想騙人了。
普渡慈航:佛法無邊,不依我的明燈指示,只有死路一條!
燕赤霞:人是善忘的,好多事會都隨風而逝,無論做過什麼事請很快就會忘記了,誰還記得。
寧采臣:什麼都忘了是好還是不好?我們該有希望嗎?

輸贏成敗 又爭由人算
且自逍遙沒誰管
奈天昏地暗 斗轉星移
風驟急 縹緲峰頭雲亂
紅顏彈指老 剎那芳華
夢裡真真語真幻
同一笑 到頭萬事俱空
糊塗醉,情長計短
解不了 名韁繫貪嗔
卻試問 幾時把痴心斷

當年特技比現在差了不是一星半點,卻能拍出如此氣勢&真實感~真不是科技能取代。是電影人真正的實力!
真不是能拿鏡頭就是攝影師、懂化裝就是化裝師、識著衫就能做美指、識裝修就可以做埸景~

我記得以前小時候剛裝好第四台,按開關之後整理一些有的沒的,第一個看到的影片就是倩女幽魂第一集。而且剛好又是跟寧采臣相遇的時刻。當時就被王祖賢,深深地吸引上。這樣子一晃30幾年過去了。
