洋葱

I've been listening to this song and can't help relating to the very well written lyrics.

如果你眼神能够为我
片刻的降临
如果你能听到
心碎的声音
沉默的守护著你
沉默的等奇迹
沉默的让自己
像是空气
大家都吃著聊著笑著
今晚多开心
最角落里的我
笑得多合群
盘底的洋葱像我
永远是调味品
偷偷的看著你
偷偷的隐藏著自己
如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会发现你会讶异
你是我最压抑
最深处的秘密
如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会鼻酸你会流泪
只要你能听到我
看到我的全心全意

听你说你和你的他们
暧昧的空气
我和我的绝望
装得很风趣
我就样一颗洋葱
永远是配角戏
多希望能与你有一秒
专属的剧情

Most people love and hate onions. Without onions, some foods might not taste half as good but it stinks. Many of my recipes are laced heavily with onions, take for example my clam chowder soup. My idea then was to cook it in such a way kids will still love it and not know it's onions but nowadays, I love them a little less fully sauteed so you get the bits of onion that still retains it's sting.

Some people liken me to an onion I suppose. At times when not prepared right, I leave a bad aftertaste in your mouth but because of the smell, it's not the most presentable dish but with everything else in life, without it, life goes on but may be a little less colourful. Not about to put myself on the altar with onions but I hope to think that I have made a difference.

According to the lyrics of the song, onions are always just a side and never the main. And if someone can take the take away the layers of the onions leading to the heart, you will hear the sincerity.

I have to admit I might not be the most pleasant person you'll meet in your life and I can bet, I don't come anywhere close. But friends who have been friends for a long time, who take the effort to know me better will know who exactly am I. Whether you'd appreciate me for who I am, I can't force that to happen and neither would I. I know there are parts of me that needs refining. I mentioned in my earlier posts that there are things I've seen my Mom doing and I hated it and worst of all, I could identify with the things I do. I'm not about to justify my actions but if it means me changing for the better for my own good, I'll do it but some things just takes time.

If you would take time to peel off the onion layer by layer, getting to know me better slowly, you will find a deeper side of me which I hope you can appreciate.
