The
song that I chose for today is “黑擇明” by Eason Chan. I have listen to
this song many many time, but it is only today I actually pay more attention to
the lyrics. The lyrics of the song is very meaningful and encouraging, so I
decided to share it here today. The direct English translation of the title is “Dark
chose Light”. Note that the song name “黑擇明” got the same pronunciation
as the famous Japanese director 黑澤明 (Kurosawa Akira).
The
lyrics of the song are about keep living. The lyrics start with the protagonist
telling us that his name is not dark, he is not scare of the darkness and he
had chosen light. He chooses the darkest cinema to make it bright. Before he
left, he still left behind many colourful films for other to watch. He is very
helpful, he know how to speak up for the poor. The colour is not bright enough and
the it is not bloody enough. If one day
you stared in the movie, he hopes that the scrip doesn’t match your life.
Please don’t be worry, as the world is full of bad things, and this city has
already gotten enough bad things. Our emotion could go through ups and downs
and it is hard to tells what’s next. But if our life is like a game, then
perhaps we should make the most out of it. In the darkness, you have chosen the
light, so you can decide the story ending by your emotion. If you chose to act
in a sad movie, the story may die, but you wouldn’t. You got dump by your love
one and you chose to die. But your mother is so sad that she wanted to die as
well, so now have you felt the guilt yet? There are many more people in a worse
situation than you, so now you can stop feeling sad. Being depress and you
wanted to die. So you think your doctor is useless? Have you forgotten all the
good time in your childhood? If you like to play games, why not treat life like
a game and practise like you would and be good at it? And if you are not scare
of dead, then why are you scared of being painful? Dead will knock on your door
one day, so there is no need to get there by yourself.
This
song is very meaningful. The lyrics basically tell us that there are many
negative things happened in our city every day. Many of us can’t take it and a
lot of us chose to die to escape from the pain. But if you are going to commit suicide,
have you thought about the impact that it will have on your love one, like your
parents? We got the power to change our lives, we can choose. If you have the
courage to commit suicide, then why don’t you have the courage to fight? We are
all going to die one day, so why chose to end our life by ourselves. Hope you
will like the song.
