What kind of feelings does Tayu Lo's song "Your Appearance" want to express?

When it comes to the meaning of songs, to put it bluntly, it means yearning for lovers and disappointment with the past. In detail, the words "sobbing river, distant footsteps, sad eyes, bleak shadows" and "children, lanterns, you" can be understood as characters and scenes in movies, and also as you and me in reality.

This song is the ending song of the inspirational love movie A-Lang's Story, with Chow Yun Fat and Zhang Aijia as the protagonists.

In this film, Chow Yun Fat plays A Lang, a racing driver, and Zhang Aijia plays a rich girl. After falling in love with A Lang, they left home for some reason, leaving a son to live alone with A Lang, and then they met again. A Lang is back in love.

Lyrics: Tayu Lo

Composer: Tayu Lo

Singing: Tayu Lo

Whose voice do I hear, like a river sobbing in a dream?

I saw whose footsteps were far away, covering my sad eyes when I said goodbye.

What I don't understand is why you are willing to let dust describe you.

Just like the forgotten world, there used to be your name and my voice.

That sad song always wakes up in a dream and tells a little sad past.

It seems that you didn't care about turning around, it was a dim shadow after drying your tears.

What I don't understand is why you can't be dissolved in this world.

Whether it is too late to predict fate has written down your smile and my mood.

What remains unchanged is that you are standing in a wide world, and smart children are carrying fragile lanterns.

Handsome you turn your heart into dust, lonely child, you are the grace of creation.

Whose voice do I hear, like a river sobbing in a dream?

I saw whose footsteps were far away, covering my sad eyes when I said goodbye.

What I don't understand is why you are willing to let dust describe you.

Just like the forgotten world, there used to be your name and my voice.

What remains unchanged is that you are standing in the vast world, and the clever child is carrying his beloved lantern.

Handsome you turn your heart into dust, lonely child, you are the grace of creation.
