我迷恋华灯初上点燃天的月
Wǒ míliàn huádēng chū shàng diǎn rán tiān de yuè

About the song

This song reflects a deep emotional journey of longing and self-expression under the influence of moonlight. The narrator is captivated by someone, comparing their love and connection to a beautiful, elusive melody. While surrounded by the beauty of the night and the moon’s glow, the narrator struggles with internal conflict and the tension between desire and restraint.

They are drawn to the person, but there’s a sense of helplessness as they navigate their feelings and emotions. The moonlight becomes a symbol of both the beauty and the melancholy of the situation, with the narrator unable to control their soul’s yearning. Ultimately, the song portrays the complexity of love, confusion, and vulnerability, set against the backdrop of the night and moonlit atmosphere.

About the song

This song expresses the emotional struggle of someone who is heartbroken after a breakup. The narrator attends their ex-lover’s wedding, feeling like an outsider while everyone else celebrates the couple’s love.

Despite letting go of past memories and accepting their role as a guest, the narrator still cannot fully accept the separation, struggling with feelings of loss and disbelief that their once-promised forever has turned into the past.

The song conveys deep sorrow, the pain of unrequited love, and the bittersweetness of witnessing the person they loved move on with someone else.

About the song

This song is a deeply emotional and poetic expression of love, longing, and salvation. The lyrics depict a love so profound that it feels like a rebirth, offering solace and meaning in a chaotic world. The singer reflects on the inexplicable pull they feel toward their beloved, describing how even fate seems insignificant compared to the depth of their emotions.

The imagery of “吻过你眉目” (kissing your brows) and “握过你手心纹路” (holding the lines on your palm) symbolizes intimacy and connection, while the repeated refrain “是我的救赎” (is my salvation) underscores how this love has transformed and saved the singer. Despite the pain of separation and unfulfilled longing (“相思入骨 白首却无处”), the love they shared remains a source of fulfillment and completeness.

Ultimately, the song is a testament to the enduring power of love, even in the face of life’s uncertainties and hardships. It’s a beautiful ode to finding meaning and redemption through a deep, soulful connection with another person.
