生活
陳忻玥 Lyrics

The song "生活" by 陳忻玥 (Chen Xin Yue) talks about how people interact and express themselves through social media and how they yearn for validation and understanding from others. It is a reflective reminder that while we may present a filtered version of ourselves online, nobody can truly understand us except for ourselves. The lyrics ask who truly holds the key to happiness and seeks to inspire the listener to create and find their own joy rather than relying on external factors.

In the first verse, the lyrics describe scrolling through news and photos on the internet and questioning what we truly want from it, whether it be laughter or tears, or a naive or honest perspective. The second verse highlights the different perspectives people have from different angles and in different stages of life, and how social media only provides a one-sided reflection of people's lives. The chorus repeats the theme of wanting others to understand us, but ultimately, nobody can fully experience what we go through and feel the way we do.

The second half of the song takes a turn towards a more positive message. The bridge describes the changing seasons and how nobody can fully experience each moment except for oneself. This leads to the realization that the key to happiness is to stop waiting for others to validate our experiences and start creating and finding joy ourselves. The final two choruses repeat this message of self-empowerment and self-reliance, encouraging the listener to enjoy every moment of life and create their own happiness.
