Song Writing - Final

Inspiration:

Through out my 4 year university life, the most precious experience must be my hall life. I live in hall 1 for 4 years. From a freshmen, to now I am the hall tutor. I met many people at hall. They are from different department, with different background. In the semester end, I used to say goodbye to those who graduate or leave hall. Unfortunately, in this year is my turn. Actually, I am not ready to leave this place as I contribute a lot in here and I gain a lot too. This gain and pay creates the relationship between the hall and me and of cause the people who are living in here. It is very weird that how I want to stay with hallmates but I have to spend my time to work very hard to finish my FYP and then graduate from here. Especially, I need to be alone when I create. So I decided to write a song about this although I am not familiar with this kind of genre.

Concept:

This song is about asking others to leave us alone and shut up. The world gives us to many opinions and guidance that nearly too crazy to bury our own thoughts. So, let us go, let us be alone. We would think and so we could grow up.

The Lyrics:

I wrote several version of lyrics for this song but finally I chose the one below.

(^The draft of the lyrics. )

《 Final 》

這是一個令人迷惑的世界 或許

所有的相遇是為了以後不要再見面

緣份有點太少 卻還是感謝

你們曾經出現在我的世界

年輕的人呀 請抓緊感覺

因為 長大之後 只能夠漂流

懷念那混亂小房間 擠滿了青春的畫面

時間走得太快 來不及抓回來

不習慣沒人在旁邊 安慰我空虛的瞬間

可是我愈走愈遠 換來虛無卻失去了

最初想守護的

太多的誤會才能造出緣份

很多的瞬間成為了不經意的永恆

在最後一刻 捨不得離開

我們 堆砌的青春年華

年輕的人呀 請抓緊感覺

因為 長大之後只剩下懷念

懷念那混亂小房間 擠滿了青春的畫面

時間走得太快 來不及抓回來

不習慣沒人在旁邊 安慰我空虛的瞬間

可是我愈走愈遠 換來虛無卻失去了

我們奔跑

向著火燒的夕陽

我問了你一句

「你有沒有後悔過？」

照片上溫暖的畫面

我知道只能夠懷念

The lyrics are written in Mandarin. It is talking about the meet and part of people. We don't even have enough time to grasp everything we treasure but time keeps running away. I want to stay but my foot just keeps walking away from here because this is life. The youngers should treasure the most beautiful and energetic moment in their life as the passion and excitement would disappear when we grown up. I am unwilling to leave and grow up but I never regret for anything that we’ve been through in here.
