There are swathes of online discussions about the lyrics of "Ten Years" and "Next Year, Today". When Lin Yuan has nothing better to do, he would go through them, but he hardly ever expresses his own interpretation —
He has always maintained that idea.
The fun of interpretation lies in the deliberate omission of the real intentions by the ones involved. Unless necessary, Lin Yuan doesn't plan to spoil this fun for everyone.
Moreover, making two lyrics for the melody of "Ten Years" has made him realise something.
If the melody of a song is liked by the masses, their enthusiasm for discussing the lyrics is also high.
Certain classic lyrics will be remembered for a long time. Some even leave a deeper impression in the public memory than the song itself.
Like the most well-known lyrics from "Red Rose", "What is unreachable always causes unrest; the favored ones are always fearless."
It's understandable for those who like the song to like these lyrics as well.
