chong bai

when i first heard this song and saw the mv, i was very excited because i thot that she's singing a 'worship' song as her new album. i was so happy to see someone using the mainstream influence to wanting to make a difference and making it a hit song... since 'chong bai' is quite a christian lingo..

but I checked the lyrics. i dun think it’s a Christian song anymore.

If sing for God, I think she means leaving God. But if sing for man (human relationship) means leaving the person and exist for herself and not for ‘him’ – sigh… I was so happy and thot she’s making a difference but in the song she say ‘she tot can be different from others but not possible..’

do you know how sad i am now? as i listen to the song, tears started to well up within me because of the heart-wrenching words as though singing about leaving God...

in my reality, i can only exist in God. without Him, i don't have the courage to wake up in the morning, nor the grace to move in my day... 我存在祢的存在里

#
你的姿態 你的青睞 我存在在你的存在
ni de zi tai ni de qing lai wo cun zai ni de cun zai
Your attitude, your good graces, I existed in your being
你以為愛 就是被愛 你揮霍了我的崇拜 #
ni yi wei ai jiu shi bei ai ni hui huo le wo de chong bai
You thought love meant being loved, you squandered away my adoration for you

我活了 我愛了 我都不管了
wo huo le wo ai le wo dou bu guan le
I've lived, I've loved, but now I don't care
心愛到瘋了 恨到酸了就好了
xin ai dao feng le hen dao suan le jiu hao le
Loving til your heart's gone crazy and hating til your heart's gone sour, that's enough
可能的 可以的 真的可惜了
ke neng de ke yi de zhen de ke xi le
Possibilities, opportunities - It's sad they no longer exist
幸福好不容易 怎麼你卻不敢了呢?
xing fu hao bu rong yi zen me ni que bu gan le ne
It's really not easy to attain happiness, but still, why don't you have the courage to try?

我還以為我們能 不同於別人
wo hai yi wei wo men neng bu tong yu bie ren
I even thought that we could be different from other people
我還以為不可能的 不會不可能
wo hai yi wei bu ke neng de bu hui bu ke neng
I even thought the impossible could not be impossible (i.e. that the impossible was possible)

REPEAT ALL OF ABOVE + #

風箏有風 海豚有海
feng zheng you geng hai dun you hai
Kites have the wind, dolphins have the sea
我存在在我的存在
wo cun zai zai wo de cun zai
I exist for myself
所以明白 所以離開
suo yi ming bai suo yi li kai
so I can understand, so I can leave (you)
所以不再為愛而愛
Suo yi bu zai wei ai er ai
so I no longer love because of love

自己存在 在你之外
Zi ji cun zai zai ni zi wai
I'll live alone, apart from you
