如果Track 01.《Alive》是孩子第一次发现“我在这里”,那么概念专辑的第二曲《Gone》是他第一次发现:
有些东西不在了。
昨天还在的花,今天为什么不见了?
刚刚还在笑的人,为什么突然安静了?
一只鸟飞走以后,它还算在这里吗?
歌曲里的“Gone”不断重复,像脚步,也像记忆的回声。
孩子不明白:
如果一个东西已经消失了,
它究竟去了哪里?
--
“Gone”
If “Alive” is the child's first discovery that “I am here,” then “Gone” is the moment he discovers something else:
Some things are not here anymore.
Why was the flower here yesterday,
but gone today?
Why was someone laughing a moment ago,
and now the room is quiet?
When a bird flies away,
is it still here somewhere?
If I close my eyes,
are you still there?
The child meets disappearance for the first time, but he does not yet know what it means.
So he keeps asking:
Where did it go?
Where did she go?
Where did the summer go?
Where did all the voices go?
“Gone” is not simply a song about death.
It is also about time, memory, growing up, and all the things the world quietly takes away from us.
An old toy.
A photograph.
An empty room.
Someone who does not come back.
Even a childhood that slowly disappears without saying goodbye.
The word “Gone” keeps returning like footsteps, like a memory trying to come back.
Gone, gone.
Gone, gone.
But the child still does not understand:
If something is gone,
where does it go?
