Life is like a dream



Someone asked me why I named this blog, "Life's like a dream". Here is my inspiration! A song by one of my favorite singers of all time, Jacky Cheung~ It is upbeat, meaningful, and cheers me up when I am down! I hope it does the same for you =)
For English-speakers, here's my approximate translation:


When we were young, we had no wants and knew only joy
When did our needs become so immense, 
We had forgotten that everyday we are paying with time

Too many fireworks, ended in a burst of light. *fireworks = big, feel-good things
Under the spotlight, flowers appear more than flowers
Unable to obtain them, we find more regrets instead.
You don't get them when it is not your turn yet.

One day you will realize, 
Life is like a dream
What will the future bring? 
But in the blink of an eye,
Life is like a dream
The meaning is deep, but the words are too shallow
Though those who have awoken realize that
It is best to go with the flow, how long can life be?

Life is like a dream
The years flow by, just like pictures in the water
Ask yourself why you are still holding on to hurt?
You try to have a light heart, but your baggage is heavy

What must you need? What must you love?
So much focus on everything
Happiness and pain, how much can you remember?
How much can you forget?

In the end,
Life is like a dream,
What will the future bring?
Life is like a dream,
How many more days remain?

Who has not cried before, so why do we exist in the dream?
In my state between wakefulness and sleep, 
I sometimes forget that I am intoxicated in the moment
Forgotten that sometimes the wrongs can seem right
Forgotten that I am in a dream
