Production Note
Some choices cannot be undone.
Some things move on without asking.
And some forces
are not meant to be avoided,
only understood.
In the Course of Time
Life taught me this:
if we do not govern ourselves emotionally,
something smaller will govern us instead.
Verse 1
I opened my email folder,
Purged every message you once sent to me.
I freed my memory for the future,
Made space for what I choose to be.
Verse 2
The older messages on my phone
Are quietly cleaned away.
Life is a process of subtracting,
Like time already lost yesterday.

CHANGE KEY
Verse 3
天空突然變暗
雷聲陣陣
我徹耳傾聽
Verse 4
[REFLECTIVE}
曾經是那麼懼怕雷鳴
只想在你身邊
靜靜等待
風暴過去
Verse 5
PASSIONATE and POWERFUL VOCAL
我依然在意陣陣巨響
只是不再惶恐
我安靜地傾聽
才發現那駭人之中
大自然的強音是如此動聽！
Outro
REPEATIVE
I listen to the thunder.

English Lyrics Translation
Verse 1
I opened my email folder,
Purged every message you once sent to me.
I freed my memory for the future,
Made space for what I choose to be.
Verse 2
The older messages on my phone
Are quietly cleaned away.
Life is a process of subtracting,
Like time already lost yesterday.
Verse 3
The sky suddenly darkens.
Thunder rolls again and again.
I listen with my whole being.
Verse 4
I once feared the sound of thunder so deeply,
Wanting only to stay by your side,
Quietly waiting
For the storm to pass.
Verse 5
I still notice the crashing thunder,
But I am no longer afraid.
I listen in stillness,
And only then do I realize
Within what once felt terrifying,
Nature’s great voice is profoundly moving.
Outro
I listen to the thunder.
