3rd Jun 2013 (卡通歌 – Justin Lo)

The song that I chose for today is “卡通歌” by Justin Lo. I personally quite like this song, as it uses stories from fairy-tale to describe real life. The direct English translation of the title is “Cartoon song”.

The lyrics of the song are about the love life of the protagonist. At the beginning, it said that from the age of 6, the protagonist that a princess is trap in a forest. Since then he wanted to save her and bring her away from the forest. He said that he doesn’t looks handsome, but in the fairy-tale world there is always luck, and a single kiss could change a frog. Then he realised that all girls wanted was happiness, they wouldn’t want glass slippers. The more girl that he hug, the more times he get hurt. He realised that being passionate to others is wrong. He seems not to be able to distinguish between princesses and witches, by the time he realised it, the beautiful horse coach was already on fire. He realised that his life couldn’t follow the fairy-tale. He said if he can’t fall in love with a queen, then he will fall in love with monster. There is still a castle, just that it is not as big and the wind might blow it away. Then he understood that all girl wants was to be happy, but he had always misinterpreted them. The more girl that he meet, the more times he get hurt. The more naïve he was, the bitterer it was. So he said that if being naïve is not popular, then perhaps he shouldn’t exist in this world. Hope you will like the song.
