还想找个人接触 还想找个人痛哭
waan4 soeng2 zaau2 go3 jan4 zip3 zuk1 waan4 soeng2 zaau2 go3 jan4 tung3 huk1
Still want to find someone to connect with, still want to find someone to cry with
这座城市里 谁喝醉 谁人看似唏嘘

Song Interpretation Short Summary "Being Lonesome Together" by Nicholas Teo (张栋梁) expresses the poignant emotions of solitude in a bustling world. The lyrics depict the yearning for connection, the ache of loneliness, and the paradox of shared experiences of sadness, despite being surrounded by others.
Detailed Insights
The song poignantly explores the emptiness of modern life, where millions experience isolation and heartache, yet there is no one to share these burdens with. The imagery of longing to hold someone, to love, but not finding connection, conveys deep emotional yearning.
The lyrics reflect the contrast between being surrounded by people and still feeling profoundly alone. Despite the proximity of others, there is no meaningful exchange, as people are caught in their own sorrow, with no one willing to support or console each other. This collective loneliness is emphasized by the repetitive mention of millions being lonely, with no one willing to share or empathize.
