I would be willing to give up everything to exchange even the slightest possible possession

Happiness is just left with an hourglass, watching the scenes of sweetness, never to return

I’ve started practicing, slowly getting anxious, anxious that this world has no you

I’ve agreed with my tears not to cry, but how should love continue with the countdown

I practice every day, getting familiar every day, in a city without you
试着删除每个两人世界里 那些曾经共同拥有的一切美好和回忆

Trying to erase every beautiful memory we once shared in our world of two

Song Interpretation
Short Summary
The song "练习" (Practice) by Andy Lau explores the emotional struggle of moving on from a relationship. The lyrics express a sense of yearning and the difficulty of letting go, even as the protagonist tries to convince themselves to adjust to life without their loved one.
Detailed Insights
The song highlights the protagonist's internal conflict. They start by wishing for a little more time, hoping it could alleviate the pain of missing someone. The theme of giving up everything for even the slightest chance of rekindling the relationship is apparent, emphasizing the desperation to hold on to what was once ordinary and now feels like a distant dream.
As the song progresses, the protagonist practices every day, slowly accepting the reality of living without the other person. The repeated lines about practicing and getting familiar with life in their absence reflect a painful attempt at emotional resilience. Despite agreeing not to cry, the countdown of love continues, symbolising the ticking away of time as they try to erase memories.
In "练习," the metaphor of love as an uncharted forest where both are lost beautifully captures the complexities of love and loss. The song ultimately portrays the struggle of reconciling with the past while trying to move forward, a sentiment that resonates with anyone dealing with the aftermath of a heartbreak.
