因为在一千年以后 世界早已没有我 Because a thousand years later, I will have been long gone from this world

I was keying in my friends’ birthdays into my mobile phone’s calendar just now when I accidently typed someone’s birth year as 2079. I then saw that the ages of the others also celebrating their birthday in December had their ages as 91 and 92.

But by then, all of us will probably have long gone.

This made me think of JJ Lin’s 2005 song, 《一千年以后》Yi Qian Nian Yi Hou (A Thousand Years Later), one of my favourites from that album.

《一千年以后》
词:李瑞洵
曲:林俊杰

心 跳乱了节奏
梦也不自由
爱 是个绝对承诺不说
撑到一千年以后

放任无奈 淹没尘埃
我在废墟之中守着你走来 喔
我的泪光 承载不了 喔
所有一切你要的爱
(所有一切你需要的爱)

因为在 一千年以后
世界早已没有我
无法深情挽着你的手
浅吻着你额头

别等到一千年以后
所有人都遗忘了我
那时红色黄昏的沙漠
能有谁 解开缠绕千年的寂寞
缠绕千年的寂寞
