你是失眠的城市人吗?

Say to myself
Self, why are you awake again?
It's one a.m.
Standing with the fridge door wide open, staring
Such a sight, florescent light
The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that shit
As it is, I might watch TV
Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall, let myself fall

It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be

以上是我从Jewel的A Good Day中截取的歌词。
听/看了感觉很苍凉。
忽然很好奇,在我们的生活当中,有多少人拥有这样的经验呢?
失眠、失意、失落……
强颜欢笑是一个习惯吗?
就像头痛时吃头痛药那样吧,麻醉了自己,却似乎没有根治病症。

歌词里的主角是disillusioned的。
我们或许也是。
在仰头对着星星许愿的信仰不怎么流行的年代里,不择手段地争取可能比较合理、实际。
不能想象,一个孩子究竟如何在成长的过程中褪去天真,沾染慢性毒药般的自私。

如此思索都市中渐渐失去温度的人性,确实容易失眠。

还是请in-ear earphone “救眠”吧,
有时不知不觉睡去了,
音乐还在播,
梦里还充满optical illusion 呢,
嘻嘻。
