Creative Inspiration

Songs for the Lingering Dream section of Chapter 5 from the novel Seven Reincarnations. This song was composed based on the plot and atmosphere of the novel's chapters. Understanding the novel's content will help in grasping the imagery and emotions the song seeks to convey.

When everything is gone, will only memories remain as traces to prove that you and I once existed?

Music Style

Depicting one-sided longing, an incomplete love — mournful yet not despairing.
  • Chinese Style Pop: Centered on Chinese aesthetics, incorporating traditional Chinese string instruments and vocal styles.
  • Ethereal: Light in texture, dreamlike and ethereal, the floating melodic lines create an atmosphere that is otherworldly, emotionally delicate, and rich with poetic beauty.

Lyrics

  
[Verse]
Lost teardrops
Blur the ink's traces
Longing creeps like vines
Choking every breath

[Verse]
Walking alone on mountain steps
Sitting in pavilion, watching clouds
Fate rises and fades
Yet afterimage in heart never vanishes

[Chorus]
If not for whispers among flowers
What voice remains
To prove that you and I
Once met in a dream?

[Verse]
Now, the dream lies broken
Only scriptures keep me company
The stream that once murmured softly
Now lies still, without a ripple

[Chorus]
If not for whispers among flowers
What voice remains
To prove that you and I
Once cherished each other in dreams

[Outro]
The melody lingers
Do not forget
When dawn breaks the dream
May I walk with you
By the lotus pond
