這首歌透過對比、象徵和反思,表達了人類在情感、理想、現實之間的糾葛與掙扎,無論是自我探索還是面對現實的無奈,都是每個人在成長過程中必經的路。歌詞中的矛盾,不論是傲慢與虛心、私慾與自由,還是理想與現實又或者「火與水不能共融」,它們總是存在於我們的生活中,互相撞擊、交織卻又無法完全擺脫。每個人在各個階段都會經歷這樣的掙扎,而這首歌正是在呈現這份糾結與無奈。
歌曲的MV選擇於較荒涼的馬路上進行拍攝,這樣的場景正好反映了歌詞中的孤獨與對立感。畫面由黑白至色彩,主角孤獨地站著,凝視著鏡頭,彷彿在與自己內心的矛盾對話,同時也在與現實對話。
這個作品不只是在表達個人情感的掙扎,也是一種對生活現實的反思。每個人在面對自己心中的不安與未來的不確定時,也許會像歌詞所描述的那樣,感受到那份「近在眼前卻永遠遙不可及」的矛盾。我希望能透過這首歌的音樂和視覺呈現,讓人們在其中看到自己,也能找到釋放與被自己理解的出口。
This song, through contrast, symbolism, and reflection, expresses the entanglement and struggles of human emotions, ideals, and reality. Whether it’s self-exploration or the helplessness of facing reality, these are experiences that everyone must go through in their journey of growth. The contradictions in the lyrics—whether between arrogance and humility, desire and freedom, or idealism and reality, as well as the notion that “fire and water cannot coexist”—are ever-present in our lives, constantly clashing, intertwining, yet never fully escaping one another. At different stages of life, everyone experiences these struggles, and this song captures that sense of conflict and helplessness.
The music video was filmed on a desolate road, a setting that perfectly reflects the loneliness and sense of opposition conveyed in the lyrics. The transition from black-and-white to color enhances this theme. The protagonist stands alone, gazing at the camera, as if engaging in an internal dialogue with their own contradictions while also confronting reality.
This work is not just an expression of personal emotional struggles but also a reflection on the realities of life. When facing inner anxieties and the uncertainties of the future, one might feel, just as the lyrics describe, that things are “so close, yet forever out of reach.” Through the music and visuals of this song, I hope to create a space where people can see themselves in it and find an outlet for release and self-understanding.
