After enduring a long, dreary wait, dreams remain as dreams, and I am still the same old me.
Time has forgotten to retain the most beautiful moments; and in a hurry, subconsciously released them. The rainbow we had once wanted to embrace, those flowers in full bloom and that guileless smile. A sudden gust of wind rushes past; and in the blink of an eye, I'm the only one left.
I wonder about those worldly woes; why do they bother me so? Whose fault is it exactly? Or is it simply my refusal to let go? Oh, those worldly woes; the humour this world has given me-- is it trying to tell me that the incoming tide will eventually recede?
There must always be someone to swallow the bitter fruit of punishment with me, Oh and then have a little taste of sweet dream. You have to first speak up before Winter will finally pass.
There have been people who have brushed past me; lived in my mind and drilled holes in my heart. There have also been people who were turned into photographs; piled up in a corner; frozen by snow-like dust.
If time could go backwards, I think I will still waste it away by making the same mistakes. Anyway, just let it be I know i have tried my best.
I wonder in the remote future; Will anyone know that I've once lived such a life in this lonely planet? Oh far away in the future, the boundaries of infinity; there should be no one who can deny me of my everlasting feelings.
I've always liked to have a song, which I can sing loudly, and gaze upon the vast world.
Living on not too much or too little, my happiness is just enough to last.
It's actually good to be alive; I'll have another apple.
Pretty interesting piece of poetry reflecting on life.(:
Written none other by the legendary ASHIN, except in chinese.
Makes one nostalgic and whimsical, yet at the same time instills a certain sense of optimism for what awaits. English doesn't seem to do the original lyrics justice though.
All hail ashin the great, who has other-worldly matter for brains! Seriously, there are things i would do just to use his brain for a day.
a video of their earlier days, when all of them could behave freely as themselves, unburdened by whatever 'image' they have now. Look at that pig! so engrossed in eating.
a comment on the video shows it all. yes. i do hate food.;)
(edit: in retrospect, the song in the video bg is the song above! How uncannyly apt.:))
oh my, do i really have to queue overnight? i guess this is one crazy thing you don't get to do anymore when you get old. but alone? with mugging equipment? GAHH.
