Eason Chan has been named by Chinese critics as the next God of Songs (歌神) after Jacky Cheung. However, Eason has more than once clarified that he wishes to build his own name instead, and not just be the successor of Jacky Cheung. There is a duet called 天下太平 sung by Chan and Jacky Cheung in the album Perfect Match by Albert Leung，Ronald Ng (伍樂城) released in April 2006. Chan and Cheung have collaborated on other occasions as well. They sang a duet of Cheung's 頭髮亂了 in a fundraising campaign for SARS victims in 2003.
Chan not only sings but also plays a variety of musical instrument including piano, violin, accordion, guitar and drums. He frequently showcases his musical talent by incorporating instruments into his live performances. Chan is also a song-writer who has written many songs, some included in his albums.
十面埋伏
陳奕迅 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
逢禮拜留連藝術展 還是未間斷
何以我來回巡邏遍 仍然和你擦肩
還仍然在各自宇宙 錯過了春天
＊只差一點點 即可以再會面
可惜 偏偏 剛剛 擦過
十面埋伏過 孤單感更赤裸
總差一點點 先可以再會面
但直行直過 只差一個眼波
將彼此錯過（但直行直過 只等一個眼波）
＊ 遲兩秒搭上地下鐵 能與你碰上麼
如提前十步入電梯 誰又被錯過
和某某從來未預約 為何能見更多
全城來撞你但最後 處處有險阻
REPEAT＊ 軌跡改變角度交錯 寂寞城市又再探戈
天空閃過燦爛花火 和你不再為愛奔波
總差一點點 先可以再會面
悔不當初輕輕放過 現在懲罰我分手分錯了麼
分開一千天 天天盼再會面
只怕是你先找到我 但直行直過
天都幫你去躲 躲開不見我
The lyrics in 陳奕迅's song 十面埋伏 talks about the regret of missing an opportunity to reunite with someone special. The song describes a place where the two often see each other, but never manage to meet. The singer keeps searching and wandering around just to cross paths with the person, but it seems they are always missing each other by just a little bit. The phrase "只差一點點" meaning "just a little bit" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing how close they were to meeting but missed out on the chance. The lyrics also explain how missing this opportunity brings about feelings of loneliness and naked vulnerability.
The song also talks about how our lives are full of missed chances and opportunities, but we must keep searching and hoping to meet again. The song references different scenarios that could have led to their reunion but didn't end up happening. The lyrics also talk about the role of fate in determining whether or not they will meet again.
Overall, the song speaks to the human desire for connection and the regret that accompanies missed opportunities. The lyrics are beautifully written, and the melody is melancholic, making it a powerful and emotional song.

當下無把握機會開口講第一句說話，就一直係錯過、錯過同錯過
「何以我 來回巡邏遍 仍然和你擦肩」
之後刻意行來行去，希望撞得返你，原來難過登天
「全城來撞你 但最後 處處有險阻」
覺得好後悔好虐心，點解當時開不了口？
「悔不當初 輕輕放過
現在懲罰我 分手分錯了麼」
人經歷多了，總算明白多了「緣份」二字
「緣」係上天賜予大家遇見嘅機會，「份」係人為，是乎大家有無把握
如果上天願意俾多次機會我撞到你，我一定會鼓起勇氣同你講第一句對白！
