叶子
阿桑 Lyrics

The song "叶子" by 阿桑 (A-Sun) talks about the feeling of loneliness and the human need for companionship. The lyrics start by comparing leaves to wings that can't soar. Similarly, wings are compared to fallen leaves in the sky. As the singer reflects on life, she realizes that Heaven might not be a myth, she just forgot how to fly. The second verse depicts the paradox of loneliness and celebration. Loneliness is a type of celebration for the person who enjoys isolation, but a crowd can experience loneliness together. The last part of the verse connects the beginning of love with companionship, but the singer is now starting to forget how it feels to have someone by her side.

The chorus is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the theme of isolation and loneliness. The repeated verse about traveling, reading books, and having conversations with oneself highlights the singer's need for companionship, but she feels lost and can't find her way back to love, even when she's trying to guide herself. The final repetition of the chorus brings the song full circle; wings and leaves are the same, both immobile, and both signify something that has been lost to the singer.

Overall, "叶子" is a song that stirs the emotions and reflects on the human experience of loneliness and love. It reminds us that sometimes, it's not about having many people around, but rather having that one person that makes all the difference.
