Energy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

大家　唱歌喝了整夜
声音　已经又哑又累
玩笑　开始变得乏味
男的醉　女的很憔悴
寿星　感动了一整夜
蜡烛　吹得很不乾脆
好想　向你告白一回
说出我　内心的滋昧

整晚　挡不住你的美
苍蝇　在你身边乱飞
没有　靠近你的机会
心很急　越急越气馁
後来　喝了酒有点醉
开出　战斗的军队
对手　一个个都击退
为了爱　勇敢的发威
我真的喜欢你真想保护你
给你快乐除了我还有谁可以
我用情最专一细心又体贴
温柔善良错过我你一定後悔
整晚　挡不住你的美
苍蝇　在你身边乱飞
没有　靠近你的机会
心很急　越急越气馁
後来　喝了酒有点醉
开出　战斗的军队
对手　一个个都击退
为了爱　勇敢的发威
我真的喜欢你真想保护你
给你快乐除了我还有谁可以
我用情最专一细心又体贴
温柔善良错过我你一定後悔
我真的喜欢你真想保护你
给你快乐除了我还有谁可以
我用情最专一细心又体贴
温柔善良错过我你一定後悔
我真的喜欢你真想保护你
给你快乐除了我还有谁可以
我用情最专一细心又体贴
温柔善良错过我你一定後悔
我真的喜欢你真想保护你
给你快乐除了我还有谁可以

我用情最专一细心又体贴
温柔善良错过我你一定後悔

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Energy's song "Da Bai" (which translates to "Big White") talk about a night of singing, drinking, and celebrating, where the singer admires someone they have feelings for. The party eventually becomes boring, and people become tired and drunk. The singer who hasn't had a chance to get close to their crush starts feeling desperate and loses hope but then decides to gather courage and fight for their love. The song's chorus emphasizes the singer's adoration for the crush and their desire to protect and make them happy. In essence, the song is about never giving up on love and mustering the courage to fight for it.

The lyrics suggest that the singer has been infatuated with their crush for some time but hasn't had a chance to express their feelings. They observe the beauty of the person they admire (describing how even the flies can't help but hover around them) and feel upset that they can't get closer to them. The singer then turns to alcohol to muster courage and imagines forming a "fighting army" to take on anyone who stands in the way of their love. The chorus further emphasizes the singer's strong feelings and how devoted they are to making their crush happy. The song's message is clear: if you love someone, don't hesitate to fight for them and make them feel special.
