the story of Lit, Present
Note: I translated the Weibo posts from ZYX’s Studio to the best of my knowledge, it’s just a rough translation, the idea is there but not the most accurate!!! (It was also hella hard for me to understand LOL!)
Using music to tell a story. The first half talks about dreaming of going to war, witnessing lovers leaving each other in death; the second half talks about how bustling the world had became, how free the world is. Leave what happened in our past lives behind, when we meet again in this life, I want to show you what we didn’t get to see and appreciate before. My hometown, my kins, the love I’ve longed for, my persevering dreams… I’ll heal myself, and in the crossover of spacetime, I’ll remember myself, in the beginning of this new chapter of the story
Year 202 BC, some lost everything by the Wu River, as they claimed that death is nothing, during that year, he was 30 years old; 2222 years later, some cheered by the Xiang River, as they celebrated lives that’s so precious. This year, he stood up tall, passionate, and a year older. The birth of the twin lotus, separated by centuries and their fates far apart from each other, will eventually break the fortress from the past, allowing us to seek comfort for the rest of our lives
The shackles, thousands years later, are going to fall, and in the crossover of spacetime, fate is going to start a new page: It’s hard to tell if the twin lotus from the past was from heaven or hell, but it has changed in this life. 2000 years later, his soul had long forgotten about his past, the downfall of a hero, and in this life, please be a an average, blissful person
Awaken from his past, dreams boils within the blood that had been silent for thousand years, as light scorches on his deformed soul, he abandoned the past and steps into the bustling world, learning to treasure the moment, not failing the passion that’s never changed since thousand years ago
We’ve parted for a thousand years, I’ll see you in my songs
