听见冬天的离开
我在某年某月醒过来
我想我等我期待
未来却不能因此安排
阴天傍晚车窗外
未来有一个人在等待
向左向右向前看
爱要拐几个弯才来

我遇见谁会有怎样的对白
我等的人他在多远的未来
我听见风来自地铁和人海
我排着队拿着爱的号码牌
听见冬天的离开
我在某年某月醒过来
向左向右向前看
爱要拐几个弯才来
我遇见谁会有怎样的对白
我等的人他在多远的未来
我听见风来自地铁和人海
我排着队拿着爱的号码牌
我往前飞飞过一片时间海
我们也曾在爱情里受伤害
我看着路梦的入口有点窄

我遇见你是最美丽的意外
总有一天我的谜底会揭开

Overall Meaning

Alan's song "Yu Jian" is a contemplative and introspective reflection on love, loss, and the unpredictability of the future. The opening line "听见冬天的离开" ("hearing the departure of winter") serves as a metaphor for the end of a relationship or a time of hardship. The singer awakens in a certain year and month, and expresses their desire to wait and anticipate the future, but acknowledges that it cannot be predetermined. The gloomy weather and dusk outside the car window contribute to the mood of uncertainty and apprehension. The lyrics suggest that love requires twists and turns before it can arrive, and it is unknown who they will encounter or what the conversation will be like. The person they are waiting for could be in the distant future.

The sound of the wind coming from the subway and sea of people reinforces the idea that the singer is surrounded by a sea of possibilities, but must patiently wait their turn to receive their number for love. As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that they, too, have been hurt in the past, and the entrance to their dreams feels narrow. However, meeting the other person unexpectedly is the most beautiful surprise. The song ends with the promise that someday, the mystery will be revealed.

Overall, "Yu Jian" expresses a sense of hopefulness and resilience in the face of uncertainty and heartbreak. It encourages listeners to be patient and open-minded while pursuing love, and to have faith that eventually, the right person will come along.
