I'm currently in day 10 of my quarantine at The Westin in Brisbane CBD as I continue to work albeit in a reduced capacity as my back-to-back is now "in the seat". I'm thankful I'm not on site at the moment as the plant suffered a total power outage a few days ago and has not even started up yet. It's emergencies after emergencies with this new job and apart from the FIFO/quarantine/long periods away from home aspects, it's really not for everyone.
Other than being thankful for not being subjected to this latest plant crisis, I'm also grateful that The Westin being quite a nice hotel to isolate in and had this been another time, it'd be a really great vacation. Funny how hotels are no longer synonymous to fun in this new world we're living in. I'll write more about the experience at The Westin once I've served this 14-day sentence fully in the last post of my "Quarantine woes" series.
This month's musical post is a quarantine-inspired composition. This Chinese song titled "隔离" which translates to "Isolation" writes about someone trying his very best to end a toxic relationship. He finds it really hard to cut all ties because of the addictive dependency that has set in over the years. To sever the connection permanently, the offending party must be treated like a virus. He desperately attempts to isolate himself from the deadly contagion in order to save his own life. Hope you like this new song which features my attempt at "rock falsetto" (whatever that is).
[隔离]
词 / 曲 : 锦泉
你的泪我视若无睹
不想继续为你哭
你的笑藏着见不到底的城府
走开 别挡路
睁开眼看清楚
方向不再模糊
发泄不了愤怒
别毁自己的前途
戒掉你就算苦
我还一样死不服输
你像是个病毒
把你隔离 我才能康复
你的泪曾让我无助
如今我悔不当初
你的笑再也碰不到我心深处
别自取其辱
我不再是你的俘虏
你不再是我的支柱
我们就在这里结束
请你放我一条生路
I beg you
爱情犹如一场赌注
赢的 就只有痛苦
爱情犹如一场赌注
亏的 就只有幸福
睁开眼看清楚
方向不再模糊
为何为你愤怒
God damn you
戒掉你就算苦
我还一样死不服输
隔离你这病毒
自我救赎
[Isolation]
I don't care about your tears
Neither am I willing to cry for you anymore
Your smile hides a deep agenda
Get out of my way
Open your eyes to see clearly
And your road ahead will no longer be blurred
When you fail to vent your anger
Don't forget to not ruin your future
Although it is tough to quit you
I will not accept defeat
You are like a virus
That needs to be isolated so I can get better
Your tears used to make me helpless
How I regret my past mistakes now
Your smile will no longer touch my heart
I will not bring disgrace on myself
I am no longer your prisoner
You are no longer my pillar
Let us just end it here
Please spare me
I beg you
Love is like a gamble
Suffering is the only thing you win
Love is like a gamble
Happiness is the only thing you lose
Open your eyes to see clearly
And your road ahead will no longer be blurred
Why am I getting angry about you
God damn you
Although it is tough to quit you
I will not accept defeat
I need to isolate the virus that is you
In order to save myself
