Brilliancy

或許因為這張專輯叫 What Fun Life Was。
這是我一直想知道的。

你曾經問我，以後我們會變成什麼樣的大人？過著怎樣的日子？
我握緊你的手說，希望我們都還是好人，過著很好的日子。

那年我們十七歲，相識的中點，愛戀的起點。
人生中最好的時刻，是不是就在那時候過了？

後來我們分開、結束，各自談了幾段感情，在島嶼的兩端、地球的兩端，
追尋著「當好人」、「過好日子」的小小心願，
只是難免有些小小波瀾無端端被放大，只是偶爾過分平靜以至於無趣，

What fun life was / is ?

當13 歲的我長成 23 歲的你，竟然陷入無法快樂無法悲傷的虛無，
我們仍舊過著令人羨慕的生活，浪漫地近乎失真，
只是我不確定，這是不是當初我們想像的樣子？
而你還是不是我記憶中的樣子？

也許因為你說了句：「這裡的東西我都看不懂」
我才意識到彼此成長的軌跡已經這麼模糊、這麼遙遠，
十年之後，我們只能在距離之外生澀地點頭、微笑。

「沒關係，那就聽音樂吧！」我說。

Living Well　

your living will harden as there's more time to kill each cell. each day that you dwell
on a sense of life that threatens response will little regard
on a sense of pain against which god is no guard.
and I pray for you as you asked me to,
but still I wonder what good it will do.
I pray for you as you told me to, even though I know it does
no good will come from this
no thought could ever defend a body that lies in conscious decay.
if I could sign my name with the fluid that comes from my bones,
if I could sign over half of myself,
I'd do it for you.
you'd never ask me to, but still I'd wonder what good it would do.
I'd do it for you
as you told me not to.
even thought I know it does no good for your living will, no good for living well.
'cause your god for your living will is no good for living well.
