F.T Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
古色古香的钟楼孤独
雨滴从天空落下洗除I will be alright
好的坏的都是种过渡
读着简单却丰富的书
人生像晨雾之中找着路不停驻
Oh I I still can feel you
未来的路渐渐清楚
让任性都放下把未来线索拼成一幅画
青春的祝福岁月是礼物
不孤独If you are there I can feel
I can feel
快乐悲伤都学着知足
翻越贫穷到繁华的路
就算偶尔有一点忙碌I will be alright
付出或选择退出
踏过的步用心细数
是你让眼泪都融化
让任性都放下
把未来线索拼成一幅画
青春的祝福岁月是礼物
不孤独If you are there I can feel
I can feel
是你让眼泪都融化
让任性都放下
把未来线索拼成一幅画
青春的祝福岁月是礼物
不孤独If you are there I can feel
I can feel
If you are there I can feel
I can feel
If you are there I can feel
The lyrics of F.T Island's song "U" are about recalling a past romantic relationship with clear and genuine memories. The first two lines talk about a memory of autumn leaves from a painting and flipping through the romantic pages of a book. Despite one's attempt to hide their affection, the feeling of longing for the former lover remains. The following lines express the belief in the purity and clarity of love reflected in one's eyes, and the romanticism involved in dreaming about that past love.
The chorus of the song repeats the title phrase "U" which might suggest the longing for the person they still want in their life. The lyrics go on by comparing the feeling of letting go of someone to that of falling. The person is struggling to forget the memories and feelings for the former lover, which they describe as a wound that has not completely healed, making it difficult to move on.
Overall, the song is a reflection of the emotional turmoil of a past romance that has been difficult to forget. The lyrics portray the struggles of trying to forget someone, how the beauty of memories can haunt, and the hope to one day be healed.

还记得画里的秋叶
I still remember the autumn leaves in the painting
我翻开浪漫那一页
I flipped to the page of romance
掩饰不了眷恋
I can't hide my longing for you
你在我眼前
You're in front of my eyes
仍相信清澈的双眼
I still believe in your clear eyes
梦见你的一瞬间
I dream of you for a moment
那是花与笑颜
That is a world of blooming flowers and smiling faces
