The Man
Lo-Fi Dreamers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
而巨蟹座 甘願 無間斷
沒太多 反覆 的心算
已自然 替你 擋一箭
只想 見你 無瑕 沒破損
誰亦渴望 汲取 些溫暖
而巨蟹座 只望 能夠 供熱傳電
最後變成灰燼 都不怨
就算苦也有份甜
沒有需要太自憐
明知寵你 未必可 搏你心動
無人肯收 也照輸送
冰山縱是壓下來
也難抑制 我那洶湧
愛你是我自招的
步步血紅
仍然甘於 長留惡夢
就算得到你後 未能留住你
亦很欣慰 地痛
誰被過度緊箍 都給嚇怕
而巨蟹座 只是 忘了怎樣停下
猛力到連本應 栽好的花
亦錯手推翻 全盤跌下
共你仿似有未來
但我扼殺了嫩芽
明知寵你 未必可 搏你心動
無人肯收 也照輸送
冰山縱是壓下來
也難抑制 我那洶湧
愛你是我自招的
步步血紅
仍然甘於 長留惡夢
就算得到你後 未能留住你
亦很欣慰 地痛
我也未算深
但何事你
始終都不懂
來生都要 像這般 搏你心動
浪漫不死 重擔不重
冰山最後拒絕溶
仍然不悔 年華散盡
愛你是我自招的
默默咬唇
能燃燒的 完全獻奉
就算親過你後 未能留住你
幸福 多過 劇痛
The lyrics of Lo-Fi Dreamers' song "The Man" express the sacrifices and selflessness that someone is willing to make in a relationship. The line "誰亦有道 犧牲 的底綫" suggests that everyone has a limit to how much they are willing to sacrifice, but the singer, represented by the Cancer zodiac sign, is willing to continue without interruption.
The next lines "沒太多 反覆 的心算 已自然 替你 擋一箭" convey that the singer doesn't calculate or hesitate too much, as they naturally protect their loved one from harm. They only want to see their loved one in an unblemished and undamaged state.
The Cancer zodiac sign, symbolizing the singer, longs for warmth and comfort from the person they love ("誰亦渴望 汲取 些溫暖"). They hope to provide heat and electricity to their loved one, emphasizing their desire to be a source of comfort. They are willing to endure and not complain, even if it means turning into ashes.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea that loving someone doesn't guarantee reciprocation or capturing their heart. The lines "明知寵你 未必可 搏你心動 無人肯收 也照輸送" express the singer's understanding that their affection may not be enough to make their loved one fall in love with them. They continue to give their love despite knowing that it may not be fully received.
The last paragraph reflects on the struggles and fears the singer has experienced. They have been scared by the strict norms and expectations placed on them ("誰被過度緊箍 都給嚇怕"), but they have forgotten how to stop and take a breath. They have even accidentally destroyed things that were meant to grow, but they still have a sense of hope and believe in a future.
The overall tone of the song suggests that the singer willingly accepts the pain and hardships that come with love. Even if they have obtained the person they desire but cannot keep them, they are still grateful for the experience. They are willing to continue longing and staying in the realm of their dreams, finding solace in the pain and cherishing the moments of happiness that love brings.
