Lost in the Play｜I Took an Illusion as My Way Home｜Qingqing

When the gong and drum sound,
half a lifetime falls into a dream.

Some people sing joy and sorrow on the stage.
Some people sit below the stage,
and slowly sing themselves into the play.

You know it is only an illusion,
yet you still hear silence as an unfinished clue.
You know the story has already ended,
yet you still refuse to turn around and leave.

This song is about a character on the stage,
but also about the self who loved too seriously.

Some people only pass through a play.
But you mistake them for the destination of your whole life.

It is not that you cannot tell drama from real life.
It is that once some feelings enter the heart,
you can no longer walk out of that play.

It is not that you do not understand the ending.
It is that when the lights go out and the person is gone,
you finally realize you have turned one line of love
into half a lifetime of obsession.
