You Walk Toward the Vast Sea

Lyrics by Taihua | Produced by Suno (Adapted from Taihua’s poem “In Memory of Haizi”)

[Verse 1] Spring snow drifts outside the window, Shattering the silence of the night. Rainwater runs along the eaves, Dropping into the world, sound by sound.

Someone in the distance is reading aloud, Your name carried back by the breeze. That phrase, “facing the sea,” Suddenly leaves my heart intoxicated.

[Verse 2] It was in a late-coming moment That I finally met you. Though we are the same age, We are separated by the distance of fate.

You wrote countless lines of verse, Like waves surging toward the horizon, While I remain here in the mortal world, Learning how to breathe.

[Chorus] You walk toward the vast sea, Leaving spring behind in the human world. Turning flames into poetic lines, Burning away the lonely hours.

You are too far from the crowd, Yet too close to the truth. When the world had not yet awakened, You had already returned to the boundless void.

[Verse 3] If you were still in this mortal world, Would you, too, be ordinary? With a single lamp and a single table, Writing poems until the dead of night.

Perhaps one dusk, We might pass by in the crowd, Speaking of distant wheat fields, And a future left unfinished.

[Bridge] The wind is still blowing, The snow falls without a sound. Someone remembers you, Born in the spring.

[Chorus] You walk toward the vast sea, Leaving spring behind in the human world. Turning flames into poetic lines, Burning away the lonely hours.

You are too far from the crowd, Yet too close to the truth. When the world had not yet awakened, You had already returned to the boundless void.

[Outro] Facing the sea, The wind is still blowing, Spring flowers are in bloom, You walk toward the vast sea.

作者感言(中文）

遙寄同齡的靈魂

這首歌詞的誕生，源於一份跨越時空的共鳴。

許多年前，我第一次聽到那個名字。那是一個屬於詩歌與遠方的名字，在那個獨特的年代，海子的詩句如閃電般劃過寂靜的夜，寫盡了生命的波瀾與壯闊。作為與他年歲相當的同齡人，重讀他的文字，彷彿能聽見那個時代最真實的呼吸與掙扎。

他的詩句有著直抵人心的力量，那是一種對生命的渴求，是對真理的無畏追求。然而，每每讀到他的結局，心中總免不了湧起陣陣惋惜。我知道他也曾在那扇名為「信仰」的門前徘徊，讀過聖經，卻終究未能在那個時刻選擇握住耶穌的手。他在探索真理的道路上走得太深、太遠，最後卻孤獨地離開了人間。

身為同齡人，我以此文作為一種悼念。這不僅僅是為了那個逝去的靈魂，更是一份對後來者的低語。透過這首歌詞，我試圖從同齡者的角度重新審視生命——在追求詩意與真理的過程中，我們究竟該如何安放這份沉甸甸的生命？

這是我將一篇同文同名的散文改編而成的歌詞，希望能將那份「向死而生」的清醒，與對生命價值的思考，傳遞給每一個在人間練習呼吸的你。

Author’s Note(English)

A Message to a Peer Across Time

The birth of these lyrics stems from a resonance that transcends time and space.

Many years ago, I heard that name for the first time. It was a name that belonged to poetry and to the distance. In that unique era, his verses streaked across the silent night like lightning, exhausting the turbulence and magnificence of life. As a peer of the same age, rereading his words feels like hearing the most authentic breath and struggle of that generation.

海子‘s poetry possess a power that reaches straight into the heart—a thirst for life and a fearless pursuit of truth. Yet, whenever I read of his end, I cannot help but feel a deep sense of regret. I know that he, too, wandered before that door called “faith”; he read the Bible, but in the end, he did not choose to take the hand of Jesus at that moment. He walked too deep and too far on the path of seeking truth, only to depart this world in solitude.

As his peer, I offer this work as a tribute. It is more than just a memorial for a departed soul; it is a whisper to those who come after. Through these lyrics, I have attempted to re-examine life from the perspective of one of his own generation—in the process of pursuing poetry and truth, how are we to anchor the heavy weight of our own existence?

These lyrics are adapted from an essay I wrote with the same title. It is my hope to convey that “living toward death” clarity, along with reflections on the value of life, to each of you who are here in this mortal world, practicing how to breathe.
