Whatever

唱:雞蛋蒸肉餅
曲:GDJYB
詞:Soft
監:GDJYB / Jay Tse

The clouds are in black and the moon is hiding
When the lights off we just keep on waiting
Let’s break down the fact
So what kinds of people
You really really want to be

Maybe I am way too impulsive
You are so much subjective
Maybe the life just too brutal
And the world is too distractive
Whatever we are
Whatever you are
No matter how long it lasts

So deep inside the memories are fruitful
Yet it carved out my heart fell into shadow
Let’s break down the fact
So what kinds of living
You really really longing for

We act like fools till the dawn is coming
Sunset sunrise and it’s another morning
Let’s break down the fact
So all kinds of meaning
No formular can explain

Maybe I am way too impulsive
You are so much subjective
Maybe the life just too brutal
And the world is too distractive
Whatever we are




Whatever you are
No matter how long it lasts

The imagery of black clouds and a hidden moon creates a sense of mystery and foreboding, symbolizing the unknown future ahead. The repetition of "Let's break down the fact" suggests a desire to analyze and understand the complexities of existence, questioning the kind of person one wants to become.


The song delves into the internal conflict between impulsiveness and subjectivity, acknowledging the harsh realities of life and the distractions in the world. The phrase "Whatever we are, Whatever you are" emphasizes a sense of acceptance and resignation to one's identity and circumstances, regardless of their duration or impact. It conveys a message of embracing one's true self amidst chaos and uncertainty.


The lyrics also touch upon the bittersweet nature of memories and experiences, highlighting the emotional depth and shadows they can leave behind. The line "So what kinds of living you really longing for" encourages reflection on one's aspirations and desires, questioning the meaning and purpose of existence beyond mere survival.


The mention of acting like fools until the dawn, the cycle of sunrise and sunset, and the impossibility of fully understanding life's meaning illustrate the transience and complexity of human existence. The song suggests that despite our impulsive tendencies and subjective perceptions, we must navigate the brutality of life and the distractions of the world with a sense of acceptance and resilience.
