The Model
Dominic Chow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

又是為她刻意的塑造
全力暴露她優美的角度
留住路上目光飢渴的愛慕
瀰漫著白天枯燥的街道

無論是賣弄熟悉親切的笑容
還是像目空一切的莊重
男士亦自願被她不屑的戲弄

然後墮落自卑失重的黑洞

請你回答今夜最終失落還是擁有
不要讓我感受夜深孤獨陪著酒
請不要問我今夜結束失落還是擁有
不要讓我知道夜深孤獨陪著酒

銀幕上是她戀愛的角度
名利亦是她響往的進步
林立在路邊精美的笑容
曾玩弄昨天的我給她引路
請不要別去因為我的衝動還未足夠
請你共我歡渡這刻不論情是否

心不會在意只是片刻的事如何不朽
請你別去感謝你的等候和耐心

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dominic Chow's song "The Model" revolve around the persona of a woman who is deliberately molding herself to fit society's beauty standards. The song speaks of how she purposefully exposes her beauty and alluring angles to attract the attention of men on the street. She even goes to the extent of feigning warm and friendly smiles or displaying an air of superiority to pique the interest of men who are willing to be toyed with. However, this facade comes at a great cost as the woman ultimately ends up feeling insignificant and falling into a pit of despair and loneliness.

The song's lyrics pose a question to its listeners, questioning whether one should continue in this cycle of conforming to societal norms and ultimately succumbing to a feeling of emptiness or choose to be true to oneself and find true happiness. The song's melancholic melody coupled with its insightful lyrics paint a hauntingly vivid picture of the struggles of living up to unattainable beauty standards.
