Cantonese cover of Tori Amos 'Silent all these years'

ENGLISH TRANSLATION :

In the midst of silence
how to know (how to)embrace you tightly
Like feeling a gust of air
Watching innumerable question marks
kissed away by a silent you
Can only lie to myself

Never dare to, have the heart to see through you
witness & rumours said that you're in love with that mime
I too follow the others silently act in this show
Still unwilling to break up

facing each other silently
As if you and I have a mutual agreement
forever never wanting childish arguments
but each other expressions silently declaring
'this is cold war'
How many years
Facing each other with no words

Rumours like wind surrounds us
never listen never talk never think of what to say
Afraid that will accidentally reveal
a proof that make things awkward
How to face this

In the midst of silence trample heart voices
Become the most interesting mime
that doesn't complain
Forever silently & lonely act as your lover
Don't care who you're thinking of

facing each other silently
As if you and I have mutual agreement
forever never indulge in childish arguments
But each other expressions silently declaring
'this is cold war'
How many years
Until currently

I love you, you love me too
This (sentence) you I had heard it, said it
Broken, hated, given up, nagged, hurt, changed you
Instead I forever afraid to say 'stop'
Cold war again cold war again cold war
One mistake wronged again
Instead i'm in love with this mistake
Blame you break you abandon you
may make me better

Rumours like wind surrounds us
Never listen, never talk, never think of it
Afraid will accidentally reveal
a prrof that make things awkward
how to face this

In the midst of silence, trample the heart
Become the most interesting mime that doesn't complain
forever silently & lonely act as your lover
Don't care who you thinking of

Facing each other without a word
As if you and I have a mutual agreement
Never to indulge in childish arguments
But each other expressions as if there's nothing to say, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to say like Cold War
How many years
facing each other without words
As if, how many years
covet love yet forget to say
covet love yet forget to say
Allowing you walk past in front of my eyes

无声之中怎可知真拥紧你
如触摸一堆飘忽空气
眼看无数个问号被静默的你吻去
只好自欺
从不敢不忍心识穿你
据闻你与那默剧艺人恋上了
我也学别人静静地演我这套戏
亦不愿分离
相对不发一言
似是你共我有了默契
永不要幼稚的骂战
但表情彼此表情悄悄地暗示这是冷战
多少年
共对亦无言
流言风一般于身边一声一句
从不听不讲不想一句
怕会无意揭露
令人难圆场的证据
怎可面对
无声之中将心声踩碎
变成最有趣默剧艺人不怨怼
永远静静地寂寞地演你爱侣
别管你想谁
相对不发一言
似是你共我有了默契
永不要幼稚的骂战
但表情彼此表情悄悄地暗示这是冷战
多少年
直到目前
我爱你你也爱我
这个你我过去也听过说过
破裂过厌弃过怨过伤过变过你
我却永远怕说破
冷战再冷战再冷战
一错再错我却爱上这个错
怪责你揭破你放弃你可会使我好过
流言风一般于身边一声一句
从不听不讲不想一句
怕会无意揭露
令人难圆场的证据
怎可面对
无声之中将心声踩碎
变成最有趣默剧艺人不怨怼
永远静静地寂寞地演你爱侣
别管你想谁
相对不发一言
似是你共我有了默契
永不要幼稚的骂战
但表情即使表情也似没有话说
没有话说没有话说像冷战
多少年
共对亦无言
彷佛多少年
欲爱但忘言
欲爱但忘言
让你走过眼前

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
