about

Written in 2003, one of the first songs I've ever written.

lyrics

Fear to fail

Fully empty, entirely lost
In my totally stupid thoughts
Now I don’t mind, I don’t mind if they’re not logical at all
But I can’t stand it, can’t stand it when they’re too fearful

Isolated from outside
Although I don’t know why
Up there, the blue sky
I can’t feel it, it’s too high

Look into my heart
All my warmth – gone so far
I’ve been hurt so many times
Now nothing’s left there but a scar

Its pain still reminds
Of the taste of sour wine:
To be deceived and disappointed
Now I’ve learnt that real friends are hard to find

But deep down how I wish
For someone who could stitch my wounds
The question is: are you the key
To rescue me?

Wiry situation let me out
I’m trying hard to find a safe house
But my head dives into chaos
And again I’m bound to fail

Isolated from outside
Although I don’t know why
Up there, the blue sky
I can’t feel it, it’s too high

Look into my heart
All my warmth – gone so far
I’ve been hurt so many times
Now nothing’s left there but a scar

Its pain still reminds
Of the taste of sour wine:
To be deceived and disappointed
Now I’ve learnt that real friends are hard to find

But deep down how I wish
For someone who could stitch my wounds
The question is: are you the key
To rescue me?

Fully empty, entirely, entirely lost
In my thoughts of you…
