表面的和平
陳綺貞 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
你说什么都对
当我已经变成了你
零碎的世界
终于有机会
让自己再沉淀
让我回到过去不再
为你而分裂
执著于星座配对
但是对我们的感觉
我比谁都要强烈
我曾经仔细听
你说的大道理
我曾经认识你
像小孩的任性
我曾经凝视你
你眼睛里的色情
小心不跌入你流失的回忆
终于有机会
让自己再沉淀
让我回到过去
毫无恐惧的职业
是你太松懈
还是我一向太尖锐
当你不止一次脱口而出
曾是对别人的称谓
我曾经仔细听
你说的大道理
曾经小心翼翼
维持表面的和平
曾经认真反省
不唱昨日的歌曲
小心不跌入你流失的回忆
我曾经仔细听
你说的大道理
曾经小心翼翼
维持表面的和平
曾经认真反省
不唱昨日的歌曲
小心不跌入你流失的回忆
为了不让你伤心伤了我的心
The song "表面的和平" by 陳綺貞, or Cheer Chen, is about a person who has become completely consumed by another person, losing their own sense of self in the process. The singer no longer cares about anything and believes that whatever the other person says is correct. They have become a fragmented world controlled by the other person. However, they see an opportunity to break free and rediscover themselves. They want to go back to the past and not be torn apart by the other person anymore. The singer talks about their obsession with zodiac compatibility but realizes that their feelings towards the other person are much stronger than any astrological predictions. The lyrics also touch on the idea of maintaining a façade of peace with the other person instead of dealing with unresolved issues. The singer reflects on how they used to be careful and introspective in their actions, but they lost themselves along the way. The singer expresses their desire to not sing the same old song anymore and to avoid falling into the trap of reliving lost memories.
The song's melody is calming and almost meditative, despite the tense subject matter. Cheer Chen's deep voice adds to the subdued and somber tone of the song. The lyrics are introspective and show the singer's inner turmoil as they try to regain a sense of self they feel they have lost.
