A Song a day: 13th Oct 2013 (習慣失戀

Monday, October 14, 2013

The song that I chose for today is “習慣失戀” by Joey Yung. This is one of my favourite from Joey. The direct English translation of the title is “Getting used to being dump”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that if they didn’t hold hands, perhaps they could consider to be at the peak of their relationship. Once they hold hands, it was shorter than cough. It is too fast, she hasn’t even been happy and she is already dumped. She can’t remember how warm was being loved. She also can’t figure out why she can’t hold onto him, but she already knows that she feel sad. She thinks it is of cause her fault to get him away, but she just didn’t understand why it happened so fast. She knows that she is not a person easy for others to like. Perhaps being loved for a short time she should already consider herself being lucky. But when she thinks back, she asked herself is she really that bad, so bad that he hates her so much. She knows that even if she cried, he wouldn’t be touched. She didn’t understand why she likes to hang around with him. When he didn’t feel lonely, he would think that she is stupid. Perhaps she is not good enough so that she got dumped. She is not worry that she lost her self-esteem, but she is worry that she will get used to being dumped. Now she feels that they were a mismatch from the beginning; she was not attractive enough and he is not harsh enough. Did their love story actually occurred? She wishes that she have learned how to love others during the time that they were together. Loving others is hard, but if she wanted to learn, she knows that she can keep loving others. Hope you will like the song.
