In "意义之网" (translated as "Web of Meaning"), the 5th single from our upcoming album 'Endless Summer' (无尽夏日), Davyd and I delve into the intricate webs we spin in our lives and the struggle to break free from them. This track explores the paradox of human existence—how we craft our own meanings, only to find ourselves ensnared by them.
The lyrics touch on the mysterious and often whimsical nature of human behaviour—our secrets, impulsive decisions, and fleeting thoughts. There's an irony in how we chase every moment, fearing wasted time, yet often end up exhausted, flying aimlessly without clear direction. As I sing, "每个人头上的光环,熠熠生辉" ("The halo above each person’s head shines brightly"), it highlights how our pursuits give us a purpose, even though we are the ones who assign meaning to these purposes in the first place.
Davyd described working on this track as "a beautiful musical escape," a sentiment that resonates in the chorus, which repeatedly reminds us of the "意义之网" ("Web of Meaning") we've woven. The refrain "无法逃脱" ("unable to escape") underscores the reality of this entanglement, guiding the listener through a reflective journey on the complexities of our choices and the meanings we create. It invites us to ponder what truly makes life meaningful or meaningless, especially when these concepts are born from the meanings our culture and civilisation impose.
"意义之网" aims to provoke thought on the delicate balance between the creation of meaning and the entrapment it can bring.
