2081

“May a time machine fix my regrets, but it can never bring things right back.”
“曾想过用一架时光机去弥补遗憾，但可惜时光不能倒流。”

试问谁年轻时不希望拥有爱情的同时，又能闯一番事业呢？可惜现实不能完美兼顾。无论我们做出哪种选择，终究亦会被无限个“假如”所困扰。《2081》是我即将发行的专辑《Since 17》的一部分，设想了一场与80岁的自己的对话。这五分钟的内容，抒发了对未来的期望和幻想，也控诉了人生的取舍和挣扎。如果您喜欢“不插电”风格和迷幻电子元素，这首“时空交错”的作品可能会成为您的下一首“最喜爱歌曲”。

"Who am I in eighty years' time?"
I asked myself when I was a baby
Who loved to cry
I was born with an ambitious mind
I was chasing the spotlight
But I'm running out of time

I met you on my way
And I tried to get on the train
To be by your side
That wasn't a lie

I loved you both the same
My passion and my darling
But if I had to choose one dream
I wouldn't choose yours but mine

I keep love between the lines
Stuck in talking stage for the rest of my life
I only keep rushing for deadlines
Erasing you from the chapters of my life
The only thing we learn from the past
Is that we're never grateful for what we've had
So, please don't let me go
May a time machine fix my regrets
But it can never bring things right back

"Who am I in sixty years' time?"
I see myself living on my own
In a big white mansion
I ain't ready to leave the world behind
Am I scared of seeing loved ones die
More than dying alone tonight?

I hear birds singing
My birthday song but no one's celebrating
The sunlight comes in
Waking up in a double bed

I'm good on my own
But if I choose to live with you
That is what love's about
Having you come around

Passion makes me nervous
If I'm being honest
Love does the same
Working is my happy hour
What about the late-night hours?
When I've done so much, I'm still in vain
I shouldn't try too hard
Cause things don't work that way

I keep love between the lines
Stuck in talking stage for the rest of my life
I only keep rushing for deadlines
Erasing you from the chapters of my life
The only thing we learn from the past
Is that we're never grateful for what we've had
So, please don't ever grow
Can I see you grow old?
May a time machine fix my regrets
But it can never bring things right back

Eighteen years old, I should have let it go
Eighty years old, I can only let go

Eighteen years old, not scared to be alone
Eighty years old, I may well die alone

Eighteen years old, I run away from home
Eighty years old, no one's waiting at home

Eighteen years old, I wanna be well-known
Eighty years old, what is life? I don't know

Eighteen years old, I still have time to go
Eighty years old, the past is long ago

Eighteen years old, depression, I won't show
Eighty years old, happiness, who to show

Eighteen years old, my heart's as cold as stone
Eighty years old, my soul has turned to stone

Eighteen years old, I should have loved you more
Eighty years old, I should have...
