這是一首關於信仰的歌曲。大一的某一天游泳課沒有下水,游泳池室內的充滿了回音悶住了耳朵,突然很安靜,想著宇宙應該也是這樣平靜安詳的吧?
這首歌寫的是自己當時對於人生的無力和無解。對於自己的家庭,人生的困惑,不知道為什麼發生的事,曾經對上帝失去的信心。這感覺如同我站在沙漠裡抬頭,在宇宙中漂泊,我覺得自己像宇宙裡的一顆消逝星球,只努力在消失時努力發出光茫,過後又在真空的宇宙中顯得無聲無息。反觀兩千年多前,耶穌也像消逝星球一樣,犧牲了自己,在十字架上的逝去成就了光茫,照亮著同樣在宇宙漂泊的每顆小小星球。藉著他,不再是虛空,舊事已過,都變成新的了。
This is a song about my belief. It was a swimming class during my freshman year in college, as the natatorium was fulfilled with echoes and noises, my ears got stuffed, and I experienced an abrupt kind of silence. It made me think of the universe, which is supposed to be peacefully soundless, just as what I experienced.
This song is also about my inability to strive and to seek resolutions at this precise moment of life. Because of my struggles in family and life, as well as certain bewildering events, I once lost my faith in God. It was just like I was standing in a desert and looking upon the endless sky, or that I was floating in the space like a planet vanishing, striking to let out the last flash of light before vanishing eternally and ceasing into silence among the space of vacuity. On the other hand, Jesus Christ also once sacrificed himself like a planet vanishing, turning into the light in his death upon crucifixion and illuminating every little planet wandering in the space. Through the glow of God, there is no more void. As the old things have come to an end, they have truly become new.
