One Song a Day - Leaving is for Coming Back 離開是為了回來. Translation and song link below.
•
Is it a self fulfilled prophecy, a blessing or a curse, I am still not sure. This song from my second album set me off for a long long journey which evolved into my life. At some point I had become a prisoner of freedom, then one day I woke up, just like that. Leaving or coming back is all but perspectives. If you’re not stuck with the idea of a comfort zone, it would not matter anymore. Trivia: this song has been highly quoted and utilized from social media to many forms of commercial use. If one can get royalties from captions...

Leaving is for Coming Back
(Chet Lam)
•
I’m about to leave tomorrow
Friends all wished me a happy journey
Staying behind is a choice
Leaving doesn’t mean you can let go of it all
When you are in love with someone
You may suddenly realize you are not quite ready to settle after setting off together
You haven’t thought it through but too late to turn back
•
People come and go
Seasons change, time flies
Even you cannot get over the regrets
You may learn to appreciate what you have had
When you are letting go of someone
You may suddenly realize you are not quite ready yet after setting off alone
You are busy healing your wounds
You miss all the scenery
You even pretend to toughen up to fool yourself
•
Wrapping up is for starting over again
Emptying your glass is for filling it up again
Bumpy journey can strengthen your memory
Occasional rains make you treasure sunny days
Crying hard is for you to let go sooner
Short lived happiness is for you to remember
Losing your precious is for you to search for comfort
Me leaving you now is to remind myself
I can’t forget the colors of the world
Being too focused on love
And leaving is for coming back
•
I look at the runway from the plane window
In no time already thousand feet up high
Leaving you behind
Cities and skies are probably the same
They embrace all friends and enemies ever fairly
Have met a few people I tried to get close to
But realized I still had something to see
I left anyway no matter close or far
•
I’m about to leave tomorrow
Friends all wished me a happy journey

這是在SQ2班機上創作的，多年來這個「離開回來」究竟是一個自設的陷阱，自己成全的預言，祝福還是詛咒，到現在我還不想定案，也無需定案；從哪裡離開？回去哪裡？有太多變數和可能性，比較重要的是，能否不再煞有介事地從哪裡離開，回到哪裡去。
這應該是我至今被引用/間接直接「借」用最多的歌... 謝謝大家的垂青。

離開是為了回來
（曲詞：林一峰）
•
明天就要飛走
朋友都輕鬆奉上祝福 旅途愉快
留低是個選擇 離開亦未算放開一切壓抑
如愛上一個人 一起上路
才驟覺尚有一些心野
行程未想好 起點經已太遠
•
人進進出出在我生命
季節更改幻變天地 歲月流過
遺憾若是放不下 仍可學習去感激得到過的
如放棄一個人 孤身上路
才驟覺尚有一些心軟
忙著讓傷口盡快風乾
沿路風光沒心機細看
明明是太軟弱 偏裝作硬朗
•
倘若結束為了重新開始
乾掉了酒為了重新斟滿
旅途落泊 能讓記憶穩固
偶然下雨懷念陽光可愛
歡樂太短為了回憶千次
失掉瑰寶為了尋找安慰
我離別你全為太專心愛
怕忘掉了世間的色彩
離開 是為了回來
•
從機艙機望向跑道
迅速身處萬尺高空 我留下你
城市跟天空大概一樣 容納著敵友從不知道偏心
曾遇上幾個人 一心靠近
才驟覺尚有 一些心癮
離別再上路 不管遠或近
•
倘若結束為了重新開始
乾掉了酒為了重新斟滿
旅途落泊 能讓記憶穩固
偶然下雨懷念陽光可愛
倘若痛哭 為了趁早解脫
失掉瑰寶為了尋找安慰
我離別你全為太專心愛
怕忘掉了世間的色彩
離開 是為了回來
•
明天就要飛走
朋友都輕鬆奉上祝福 旅途愉快
