You love coffee, the subtle feeling, preferring to collect music, quite eccentric

I'm afraid of wasting, the illusion of emotions, dislike myself like a hedgehog, cautious defenses

Song Interpretation

Short Summary

The song "胆小鬼" (Coward) by Gigi Leung portrays the internal conflicts of love, vulnerability, and self-protection. The lyrics express both admiration for someone special and a hesitance to fully embrace romantic emotions due to fear of heartbreak.

Detailed Insights

The verses highlight the intricacies of affection, including the uniqueness and charm of the loved one. The protagonist admires subtle qualities and feels captivated by the relationship's ambiguity. However, this affection is clouded by self-doubt and emotional defenses, likened to a hedgehog's cautiousness.

Throughout the song, the theme of being labeled a "coward" resonates deeply, showcasing the struggle between desire and the fear of emotional vulnerability. This duality is reflected in the interplay of tender moments, such as enjoying each other's quirks, and the reluctance to confront deeper feelings.

By juxtaposing light-hearted observations with heavier introspection, "胆小鬼" encapsulates the bittersweet essence of longing and hesitation, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the complexities of love.
