A Song a day: 16th Dec 2013 (天窗

The song that I chose for today is “天窗” by Joey Yung. This is a new song. The direct English translation of the title is “Dormer”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. At the start the protagonist said that her boyfriend is looking at his hot tea and calculating. The tea bag flow up and then sink. If nothing is happening, he wouldn’t had asked her to come out, she knows that he is about to dump her. Keeps the silence going, but it wouldn’t help him much longer, it would be easier for him to just run away. Really, she actually understands the pain of being untruthful, so there is no need for him to change in the last moment. There is no need to open the dormer. Pretending not know about it is a way of understanding. The only reason of being cruel to review the truth is to pretend to be truthful in exchange to feel better. There is no need to shoot her one more time with a gun. He should have been polite even when they are breaking up, so he should be paying for the dinner tonight. She said that she has got her own image, so she doesn’t want to expose her sadness too much. She will pretend that he doesn’t own her anything and they broke up because she wanted to. This ending is more beautiful than the truth and it is also nicer than the truth. There is no blood in this ending and no sadness. He doesn’t need to give her a life as the door will be closing. Hope you will like the song.
