Duality  

Lyrics-Composition-Production, August 2025

This song started off with two crazy ideas,  “what if I compose with no meter but along a motif”, and, “what if I swtich its mood completely in its second half”?

Starting the first half of the song with serenity and coldness, the second half dives into a burning zeal. The lyrics was something I wrote in 2020, finally realized into music. Hope you enjoy it.




我向星星祈祷

Whispering my prayers to stars

我被黑暗包裹

I'm cloaked in darkness.

谁是祈祷的人

Who's the mortal/person praying?

谁是聆听的灯

Who's the lamp hearing?



黑暗之中

In darkness,

我看见一盏灯

I saw a lamp,

那是我的隐忍

It's my quiet temperance,

和恐惧

And terror

希望

And hope



灯光有断续的停歇

The light falters and sways

我向 神虔诚地祈祷

Devout prayers I gave to Divine

祈祷什么

Praying what

为了什么

For what

啊你是否明白

Oh do you see

你是否明白

Do you see



橘色的光

Amber glowing light

燃烧 的光

That burning glow

神的光

Divine light

是否我的光

Is it my lamp

还是神的眼

Be it Divine eyes?

还是你的眼

Be it your eyes?





When Stars Fall into the River

Lyrics-Composition-Production, August 2024

“When Stars Fall into the River” is something I wrote when I just landed in NYC, overwhelmed by this Metropolitan city. Reflecting on my homesickness, I wrote this llulaby for adults to give myself and my audience a calming space. To admit I was lost, but there is always hope.




天上 的星星 熄 灭了

Stars of the sky have faded

孩子你别怕 就 睡吧

Fret not, child, just go to sleep

妈妈的怀抱 是一个

An embrace from mother

孩子构筑的 梦啊

Is a dream built by a child



天上的星星 熄 灭咯

Stars of the sky have dimmed

孩子你别怕

Fret not, child

因为妈妈就在这里

For mother is here

即使妈妈不在这里啊

Even though mother isn’t here



听 万丈的月光

Listen, boundless light from the moon

听 那是城市中的宁静

Listen, breathless quiet of city

听 淡淡的日光

Listen, morrow’s hazy sunlight

那是生活里的希望

There’s hope in life



天上的星星熄灭了

Stars of the sky have ebbed

孩子你别怕

Fret not, child

困倦的孩子 闭上眼

Close your eyes, wearied child

她就渐渐变成了燕

Steadily, a swallow she become

Blue Scar

Lyrics-Composition-Production, May 2023

"Blue Scar" is a Single of two songs I composed and mixed in an attempt to capture the possible consequences of water-related environmental crises. With the two songs, I aspire to inspire my audience to emphasize with the music content and have the basic-level emotional understanding toward the severity of the problems.

Gentle, ethereal, and sad. "Withering Land", as how it's titled, talks about rising sea level. While it serves as a reflection on this pressing issue, it also carries a sense of nostalgia, as I contemplate the future loss of beloved coastal areas that hold special meaning to me. The song possesses a captivating quality that lends itself to being looped, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in its evocative content.

With an accent on the more eerie side of my music, "Thirst in the Waves" addresses the issue of water scarcity by illustrating a world dominated by arid deserts and an acidic ocean. Contrasting with "Withering Land," this piece delves into a more experimental and cinematic style, evoking the ambiance of film scores. To enhance its theme, I generated a string of sounds by MaxMsp, utilizing data on global fresh water consumption. The bubbling sound effect mimics the sensation of breathing underwater and serves as a forewarning of impending suffocation. Furthermore, the volume of the bubbling sound increases in correlation with the rise in the source data.



Withering Land


“我 从没有 料到 月亮 与硬币  之间

I never thought, between the moon and the sixpence  

竟 然是我们 的故乡先 死去

It is our hometown that first died

我 从没有 料到 黎明 与夕阳 之间

I never thought, between dawn and dusk

竟然 是海 水更快的 升起

It is our ocean that first ascend



那 不断下落的 天幕 下

Under the ever-falling sky

只有潮水抚摸 陆地

Only the tide, grazing the land

八千 年 的记 忆 揉进了 长       河

Eight-thousand-year past is kneaded into a river

那 不断变迁 的   天  幕    下

That ever-changing (under the sky)

那永 恒的灿  烂只   闪烁  一眼

That eternal glittering, one blinking eye



那 康复的  希望 是  一种  特权

The salvaged hope, is an entitlement

它 存在于  我们 夸夸其谈的 唇    间

Only existing on the chattering lips

那 破灭的 承诺是 是一种  冷漠

The broken promise, is an indifference

十年之后 之后   只有水声拍打土   地

Decades later, only waves hitting the land



那 不断下落的 天幕 下

Under the ever-falling sky

只有潮水抚摸 陆地

Only the tide, grazing the land

八千 年 的记 忆 揉进了 长       河

Eight-thousand-year past is kneaded into a river

那 不断变迁 的   天  幕    下

That ever-changing (under the sky)

那永 恒的灿  烂只   闪烁  一眼

That eternal glittering, one blinking eye”

Thirst In the Waves


“我们的生命流逝 却不再感受

Our fleeting life,

Feeling no longer.



选择了屏蔽感 (双目轻盈) 嘴唇不再饥渴

Masking shield was chosen

(Gracefully airy eyes)

Lips that thirst no more



只想饮血

Only craving blood



看月相 有一丝猖狂 它再也没有回来

Moongazing, it’s blatantly immodest

It never came back



它再也没有回来

向天际涌去 沙如水覆盖了泉眼

It never came back

Flocked to the horizon

Sand as water, shrouded the mouth of spring”

An experiment of creating water-like sound. A part of the Single “Two Quiet Years”







Rendezvous

 Lyrics-Composition-Production, Dec 2021

“Rendezvous” refers to a meeting at an agreed time and place, typically between two people

The irony lies at, while the in the lyrics the singer is asking the other person to come only at their convenience, she also speaks contrary to her thought.




“Dear I’m so bored
All day long
So if you have time
just visit me at the store

Dear I’m just bored
Dear I’m just so bored
So if you have time
just visit me at the store

...I, I, I will find you
...I, I, I will find you”
