Fate
郭富城 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a nasty rumor
That's goin' 'round
People think that you and
You and I are goin' down
They insist that we're more
More than just friends
So I'm gonna stick around
Until this movie ends

Gonna leave it up to sister fate
Destiny
She's the only thing that's standin' in the way of you and me
Sister Fate
Destiny
One day we're gonna be together
Wait and see, wait and see

There's an awful story
That's in the news
People say that I'm
I'm in love with you
If they knew the real truth
They'd probably die
I could never do nothin'
To live up to those lies

Gonna leave it up to sister fate
Destiny
She's the only thing that's standin' in the way of you and me
Sister Fate
Destiny
One day we're gonna be together
Wait and see, wait and see

Sister, huh

There's a nasty rumor that's going 'round
People think that you and I are going down
They insist that we're more
More than just friends
So I'm gonna stick around
(Until this movie ends, huh)

I'm gonna leave it up to sister fate
Destiny
She's the only thing that's standin' in the way of you and me
Sister Fate
Destiny
One day we're gonna be together
Wait and see, wait and see

Wait and see

Sister Fate
Sister Fate
Sister Fate

Sister Fate
Destiny
She's the only thing standing in the way of you and me




Sister Fate
Destiny

Overall Meaning

In 郭富城's song Fate, the lyrics address a problematic rumour that is spreading amongst people. The rumour involves the singer and the person they are addressing in the song being more than just friends, they are going down in a romantic sense. But the singer insists that it is not true, and if people knew the real truth they would probably die. The singer uses movie metaphors in the lyrics, suggesting that until the movie ends, he will stick around, letting the fate and destiny decide the future between him and his subject. The lyrics suggest that the singer believes in fate and destiny, and it is these two forces that will determine if they are meant to be together or not.


The song is essentially about the uncertain nature of relationships and how the future is uncertain until fate and destiny step in. The repetition of "Sister Fate" throughout the song adds a mystical and almost spiritual tone to the song, emphasising the power of fate and destiny in determining the future of the singer and the person he is addressing in the song.
