at17: 才女


歌手:At 17 | 作曲:林二汶@At 17
填詞:于逸堯@人山人海 | 編曲:梁基爵@人山人海


世界不知不覺無情地轉
勞碌找一個救生圈
靠美德博學還離岸很遠
用美色多勝算

可惜我只配談文字戀
強項得書信對白婉轉
講曲線體態自然落選
憑面相難完心願

蕭伯納 王爾德 但丁
莎士比亞 馬奎斯 小仲馬
請指點我去用情書將心扣住
辛棄疾 矛盾 魯迅 蘇軾
求可體恤我筆尖的計算
長話盼 盡說短 人海中等惜字緣

交心的戀愛漸成歷史
唯獨我堅信愛像種子
悉心栽花卻換來白紙
才用眼淚來寫字

伊索 屠格涅夫 狄更斯
歐威爾 艾可 卡爾維諾
幾本書的背後埋藏著我心事
張愛玲 曹禺 老舍 冰心
如果早幫我寫命運情節
從未怕 命太短 惟恐寫不好那段緣
盼成全

Really touching song from at17's newest CD...
it is about someone who cannot connect with other ppl...
except with her writing...

I guess ppl always telling me i have barriers around myself and not often open up to other ppl...
except when talking to topics that i am interested in..movies, books...
then i will have shining eyes and get really excited....
other than that i will be like really slow to react...=P

I guess after i have spend 4 yrs in UT getting a degree (Act Sci and Eco) that i don't really like...
since i am not going into that field....
i always tell myself that i need to do more...read more... learn more...
to make up for the time and the knowledge that i miss....
watch more films... read more theories..more stuff about the mass culture...
and somehow... build a wall around myself in the meantime...
thinking that i am not good enough...so have to work harder...
but lost the sense of why i am chasing my dream in the first place...

If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)


Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:8)

Guess if i know how to read or decode some of the msg of films or media...
but don't know how to share it with ppl...
then it is of no use to me...

Guess if i read an amazing book that inspired me...
but cannot use it to inspire other ppl...
then it is of no use to me...

Guess if i only have knowledge (which is not alot)....
and don't know how to love or care for ppl around me..
then all i am striving for is worth nothing....

You also have shining eyes when you talk about wine and cocktail. Don't you know that? hehe ... Actually you have been opening up a lot more than before. And i think it's common for most people, including myself. Sometimes, we may have burden that hard to share to others or we cannot find someone to understand our burden. Therefore, we try to hide ourselves and then build a wall after a while ... But I believe some of your GOOD friends (maybe your collegues) can help you to break the wall :)
