Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh darling I love you
你奔跑的速度,眼睛看不清楚
Tell me what should I do
初晞時的溫度,我迷失的程度

Oh darling I love you
微風輕輕吹拂 金黃色好眩目
Tell me what should I do
謝謝你陪伴我 拭去我的無助

Uh, I really miss you
Uh, I really miss you
Uh, I really miss you
Uh, I really miss you





Talk to me, in my dream
Talk to me, in my dream

Overall Meaning

The song "Lily" by Manic Sheep is a dreamy and whimsical love song with heartfelt lyrics that express the singer's feelings of love, longing and loneliness. In the first verse, the singer declares their love to their significant other, but is also acutely aware of the challenges they face. The line "你奔跑的速度,眼睛看不清楚" (nǐ bēnpǎo de sùdù, yǎnjīng kàn bù qīngchǔ) translates to "Your running speed, eyes cannot see clearly", which depicts the idea that their loved one is moving too fast and it's hard to keep up or understand them properly. The next line "初晞時的溫度,我迷失的程度" (chū xī shí de wēndù, wǒ míshī de chéngdù) means "The temperature of dawn, the degree of my lostness", conveying that the singer feels lost and uncertain, almost like the disorienting feeling of being awake before sunrise.


The chorus repeats the singer's declaration of love and their plea for guidance: "Oh darling I love you, tell me what should I do". The verses following the chorus continue to convey the singer's deep feelings of longing and missing their beloved. The repetition of "Uh, I really miss you" emphasizes the intensity of these emotions. The song ends with the line "Talk to me, in my dream" which could imply either the singer wishing for their lover to come to them in their dreams or that they are hoping to find a way to communicate with their lover in a less confusing way.


Overall, "Lily" can be interpreted as a love song that highlights the complexities and challenges that come with being in love, particularly when one feels like they can't fully understand or communicate with their partner. The dream-like quality of the song adds to the idea of these emotions being almost ethereal and hard to grasp.
