2081

“May a time machine fix my regrets, but it can never bring things right back.”
「曾想過用一架時光機去彌補遺憾，但可惜時光不能倒流。」

試問誰年輕時不希望擁有愛情的同時，又能闖一番事業呢？可惜現實不能完美兼顧。無論我們做出哪種選擇，終究亦會被無限個「假如」所困擾。《2081》是我即將發行的專輯《Since 17》的一部分，設想了一場與80歲的自己的對話。這五分鐘的內容，抒發了對未來的期望和幻想，也控訴了人生的取捨和掙扎。如果您喜歡「不插電」風格和迷幻電子元素，這首「時空交錯」的作品可能會成為您的下一首「最喜愛歌曲」。

"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...
