"Today, the second song I'll be performing for everyone is called 'Soliloquy'."
(Soliloquy — Mao Buyi)
"This is dedicated to those who feel lonely and lost on the path of life."
Before the echo faded, the prelude began.
The prelude wasn't particularly lengthy, but every note seemed to possess a magical power.
Like a gentle breeze caressing people's hearts.
Gradually calming their somewhat restless hearts.
They quickly entered a state of immersion.
The audience stared intently at Wen He, afraid of missing a single moment.
Under the fervent gaze of countless eyes.
Wen He slightly parted his lips…
"A dream unfinished, another begins."
"If this scene had a switch."
"From anticipation to despair."
"The ending isn't pretty ~ ~"
"People always need to remember regrets."
"It came, it left."
"Didn't look back, didn't ask."
"Could you bear it ~ ~"
The content expressed in the opening verse was very obscure.
But with Wen He's extremely powerful singing skills, they felt the regret of looking back at the past after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.
A dream unfinished, another begins.
Isn't this the mentality that every young person possesses?
Before stepping out of the school gates, with our minds still immature, we always felt that tens of thousands of yuan was a small amount of money, as if cars costing hundreds of thousands were cheap.
Fantasizing about buying a bachelor apartment, raising a cat or dog, setting up our own e-sports room, and buying a car for transportation.
And then spending our lives alone like that.
Unmarried and childless, free and unrestrained.
However, facing such fantasies.
What we ultimately face is — from anticipation to despair, the ending isn't pretty.
Everyone involuntarily walks down a path they hate.
In reality, earning money is much more difficult than imagined, but money is always spent inexplicably.
We once thought that tens of thousands of yuan was a small amount of money, but later we realized.
For many people, their family's entire savings over decades amounts to only tens of thousands of yuan.
A car costing a hundred thousand or so is already considered very good for ordinary people, and it's not at all related to the word "cheap."
We haven't earned money, and we don't have the heart to raise pets.
E-sports rooms, cars, and houses are even further out of reach.
When all the beautiful dreams gradually shatter before our eyes.
Regret becomes the main theme of life.
"Days and months slip by, small ups and big downs."
"How much scenery is there in time?"
"Occasionally, my heart warms up."
"Saying nothing ~ ~"
"Is better than tearing it apart with my own hands."
"The road is still long, there are still many dreams."
"Deceived by these words."
"More than just you and me ~ ~"
The audience who heard this could be considered completely awake.
The lyrics were too obscure, so they didn't dare to be so sure when they heard the first verse.
Only after listening to the second verse, combined with what Wen He said at the beginning.
Even those who didn't understand seemed to suddenly realize it as if waking up from a dream.
["Occasionally, my heart warms up, saying nothing" is so real.]
[When people reach a certain age, they dare not take risks anymore. They have elderly parents to support, young children to raise, and their bodies are full of illnesses, and there are many places where money needs to be spent.]
[Even if you see something you once dreamed of, even if you can afford it, in the end, you can only take a few more glances and then leave with regret.]
[The burden on our shoulders is heavier, and we are no longer living for ourselves alone. Let those so-called dreams pass.]
[But in any case, it is indeed "better than tearing it apart with my own hands", at least it's good to have a thought in your heart.]
… … … …
[Everyone always says, "It will be better when you go to college", "It will be better when you come out to work", "It will be better after you get married", "It will be better after you have children", "It will be better when the children grow up", "It will be better after you buy a house for your children", "It will be better when your children have grandchildren", "Waiting for grandchildren…"]
[The road is still long, there are still many dreams, these are all lies to us.]
[Everyone is jointly and tacitly weaving the same lies, and then deceiving generation after generation.]
[I will definitely destroy this terrible lie in my generation, I tell my children… ]
["This world will sometimes make you feel very bad, make you feel tired of living, but you can always rely on your dad and mom, no matter what happens, we will always be your support."]
[I don't want to weave a beautiful future for my children, I just want to tell them that their dad and mom love them consistently.]
Hidden beneath these obscure lyrics.
Is the life that ordinary people face.
The songs that Wen He sings can always easily enter people's hearts.
And his songs are also so piercing because almost everyone has come this way.
He sings about the ordinary people of the masses.
At this moment…
Driven by the gradually grand accompaniment, the whole song is also moving towards its climax.
"But I still don't quite know how to turn around ~"
"Although lonely people occasionally want a companion ~"
"When the cold wind blows again, I want to say…"
"Will this life be a little difficult ~"
"Could it be because there were things I didn't finish saying back then ~"
"Stuck in my throat, but I never dared to shout it out loud ~"
"Forget it, don't cry…"
When that extremely shocking singing voice entered their ears.
Everyone present seemed to be instantly struck by an invisible force.
First, it was as if a string deep in their hearts was gently plucked.
Then, an indescribable emotion surged into their hearts like a tide.
Many people's noses began to feel slightly sore, as if they smelled the poignant atmosphere in the air.
Their vision also gradually became more and more blurred without them realizing it.
The scene in front of them seemed to be lightly shrouded in a layer of gauze.
This song was like an incomparably sharp sword, piercing straight into the hearts of everyone.
The lyrics and melodies were like a mirror, clearly reflecting the path that everyone had once walked.
People couldn't help but recall their past experiences.
Everyone's experiences were so similar to the scenes depicted in the song, almost identical!
People's eyes gradually turned red, and tears swirled within them, ready to burst out at any moment.
Looking back on this life.
Although it seems ordinary and plain.
But on closer inspection, it is filled with endless suffering and grievances.
All kinds of misfortunes in life, the pressure at work, the complexity of interpersonal relationships…
All of this had made them feel exhausted and weary.
However, facing these hardships and tribulations.
Most of the time, people don't even have the courage to shout out loud to vent.
Those words they wanted to confide, the emotions they wanted to vent.
In the end, they can only swallow them silently into their stomachs.
And slowly chew and digest them alone.
Because they know that the people around them cannot empathize with them, and no one will feel the same way.
Only by relying on themselves can they continue to walk on strongly.
Just when everyone was breaking down.
Wen He's singing voice rang out again…
