feihong Posted August 19, 2019 at 09:31 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 at 09:31 PM Liao Juanjia’s fanciful lyrics describe a whimsical daydream featuring various plants and animals. However, the line about high heels somewhat grounds the proceedings in reality, suggesting the second verse is actually about someone’s commute. The third verse is essentially about the game Plants vs Zombies (a pretty popular game to play on one’s phone during a commute). The stars of the show finally appear in the fourth verse: a pair of hedgehogs who want to embrace but fear getting pricked by each others’ quills. An apt metaphor for modern dating!

Chinese title: 蜗牛蚂蚁与刺猬 Artist: 廖隽嘉 Listen: https://artist.douban.com/m/liaojunjia/tracks?play=tSd1lz&pl=pS975v3wb&pz=1 Type of lyrics: Third-person story Genre: Jazz pop Difficulty: Medium? No fancy expressions and only one semi-rare word (向日葵). Lyrics 蒲公英它轻轻飞 白云在它身后追 La La La 鸟儿跟着夕阳沉睡 蜗牛蜗牛驼着背 蚂蚁蚂蚁排成队 La La La 高跟鞋它永远不会累 僵尸和植物作对 阳光最爱向日葵 La La La 谁的大脑更有智慧 两只恋爱的刺猬 渴望拥抱的滋味 La La La 多远的距离才算完美 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
