放過

By 何雁詩

怎麼最近 我説的都錯
怎麼愛 每天像懲罰囉嗦
是我 為你愉快做太多你仍閃躲
每天都有練習
如何可以回你心窩
願繼續去拖卻不想放過
當初只想你某天也許不冷漠
仍然獲得不多 傷口很多
相信傷痛會漸薄
當我已明白或許我早該放過
枷鎖也許我能避免 走進漩渦
但愛只會擴大漩渦
怎麼最近 你我會漸行漸遠
怎麼愛 每天在指尖間互相偷偷淡卻
是我 為你做太多我仍拉拖
每天希冀回到 當初
願繼續去拖卻不想放過
當初只想你某天也許不冷漠
仍然獲得不多 傷口很多
相信傷痛會漸薄
當我已明白或許我早該放過
枷鎖也許我能避免
走進漩渦探索
但愛令我學會殘忍
並沒什麼可叫我落寞
恨我 顧慮太多
未能減輕痛楚
這結果 可笑麼
為誰着魔 不外乎怯懦
是我 不懂反駁
不狠心説分手
願繼續去拖卻不想放過
當初只想你某天不冷漠
不計後果説破 只好抽起
給你的愛放下知覺
願我已明白或許我早該放過
枷鎖先感到曾活過
願我可 放下大錯
然後可 堅決放過
About This Song

The song "" ("Let Go") by (Ho Yan Si) delves into themes of emotional struggle, self-awareness, and the complex nature of love. At its core, the song embodies the pain of a one-sided relationship, where the singer grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the desire for reciprocation from a partner who remains distant. The lyrics express a sense of longing and heartache, as the protagonist reflects on the relentless effort put into the relationship, only to feel unfulfilled and trapped in a cycle of hope and despair. The emotional gravity of the song resonates deeply with listeners, effectively illustrating the conflict between love and the necessity of self-preservation.

The narrative unfolds as the singer confronts the reality of their situation, recognizing the futility of holding on to a relationship that is no longer serving them. There is a poignant exploration of vulnerability, as the protagonist admits to being overly accommodating, enduring both physical and emotional wounds in the hope that their affection might eventually be returned. The repetition of phrases like "" ("I wish to keep dragging on but dont want to let go") captures the internal struggle of wanting to move forward while being tethered to the past, thus resonating with anyone who has faced heartbreak or unreciprocated feelings.

Musically, "" blends haunting melodies with delicate instrumentation, which heightens the emotional impact of the lyrics. The use of subtle dynamics and gradual build-up reflects the rising tension within the song's narrative, while vocal delivery imbues the lyrics with a raw authenticity. The lyrical techniques employed, such as repetition and vivid imagery, amplify the feelings of entrapment and confusion, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in the protagonist's emotional journey. This artful combination of music and lyrics elicits empathy and reflection, making the song both relatable and memorable.

In terms of cultural significance, "" speaks to a broader societal topic that transcends its immediate context: the complexities of modern relationships and the struggle for emotional fulfillment. In many East Asian cultures, societal expectations often place a heavy emphasis on maintaining relationships, which can lead individuals to stay in emotionally taxing situations in fear of solitude or judgment. By articulating this struggle, Ho Yan Si's song not only provides solace to those experiencing similar emotions but also challenges listeners to confront the importance of self-love and the necessity of letting go. This engaging blend of personal narrative and cultural commentary solidifies "" as a poignant reflection on love and loss.
