I'm Still Breathing

我還活著

I leave the gas on

我沒關上瓦斯

Walk the allies in the dark

獨自走在黑暗巷弄中

Sleep with candles burning

在點燃的燭火中入睡

I leave the door unlocked

我編著繩索

Running all the red lights

並闖過所有紅燈

Did I get your attention

而你注意到我了嗎

Cuz I'm sending

All the signs and

The clock is ticking

怎麼都放些比較慢的情歌呢？

而且除了So Beautiful，其他幾首都是比較情傷取向的...

只能說有時候失戀的歌反而比較能夠引起共鳴吧。

我很喜歡這首歌的中心：I'm still breathing

即使失戀再怎麼痛苦，痛到讓人覺得生不如死，

但它沒辦法真的殺了你，雖然很痛，但仍舊活著、呼吸著。

就如同那句話：What doesn't kill you make you stronger

情緒的轉折也很有意思。

失戀之初，先是痛苦到出現自殘的衝動；

然後冷靜下來，開始懷疑自己是否不夠好才會失去愛情；

最後認清就是愛情變質了，放手對兩個人都好。

「我還活著」所以總有一天，這一切都會被放下。

Why I always put slow love songs on the blog?

And except the song "So Beautiful", others are related to the scar of love...

I have to say that sometimes the songs, which are concerned with love failure, can strike a chord with people easily.

I like the main point of this song: "I'm still breathing."

Although love failure hurts, making you feel you would rather die.

But it cannot really kill you. Though it hurts, you're still alive, still breathing.

Just like the sentence: "What doesn't kill you make you stronger."

It's also interesting about the change in emotion.

In the beginning of love failure, it so hurts that make she wanna self-harm.

Then she calms down, starting to suspect that herself is too worse to have real love.

Finally she finds that the love is changed, and it's good for each other to let go of the relationship.

"I'm still breathing"

So one day, everything will also be let go.
