敲门 (Demo)

This is the first song I composed since I entered Nilai UC (it's like 2 years ago). A break through for this song is, it's my first time writing lyrics in my life.

Here's how the story goes, it was my first semester in Nilai UC where I don't know much people yet. Most of the time after class, I'll just play games on my laptop in my room. Besides, study load wasn't that much by then, it's just my first semester.

Life was so boring that I hope somebody would buzz me on the door. Oh ya, by the way I'm staying in campus single room (HD 106). Coz I'm not familiar with anything around yet, I often open my door when I heard a little sound outside thought it was someone looking for me (most of the time, I'm just hearing things). Maybe I'm really bored~

The first time I see my room, taken with my 1.3 Mega pixel handphone.

So... I decided to write this feeling out into melody, with lyrics. Looking around my room, what I see is what I wrote (noob lyricist). Seriously, writing lyrics is so much harder than composing... You can laugh or criticize the lyrics since it's a first attempt.

One thing I remembered, this isn't how the song suppose to go. I was composing on my MIDI software, but I just got stuck on the chorus, the verse doesn't sound natural to me at all. I got so frustrated and stop to clean my room. When I swept til the electric switch part of my laptop, I accidentally turned it off, and I didn't save it...


Argh... how could I. Nevermind, after cleaning my room, I sat down and rest for a while, refreshing my mind. Looking at my lyrics again, then started to fantasize with it. Suddenly, a sweet melody flow in me. It's very unusual for me to compose a song without using my "sad prince" theme. Anyway, it's something special from me.

Another way to interpret this song is, I'm waiting someone important to knock at my life, someone who will change me inside out. So, did that "someone" comes?

Verse 1:
在摆满家饰 的房间里
太阳光线 照射着墙壁
我看着书 桌上的铅笔
拿起来 绘画心中的风景

Verse 2:
现在只有 我一个人而已
不知道是 否应该去找你
想着怎么 制造巧合来遇见你
但这一切 都是假想甜蜜

Climb:
想要勇敢踏向门口
开出我的第一步
但是且在开门时候
犹疑不住

我想要放弃这个念头
忘掉这一种模糊
当在这灰心地带游走
有人敲了门

Chorus:
到底是谁 和我心灵相通
会不会是 已注定在命中
心情好 比触电不停跳动
神秘的敲门 是爱的迷宫

飞奔开门 迎接到访的人
这种接触 感觉五彩缤纷
希望和 失望交叉和战争
期待听见的 是你(爱)的敲门

"People will stagger everywhere from sea to sea, searching for the word of the LORD, running here and going there."

Pray that LORD will lay His healing hands upon nations, when diseases are spreading wide. Also pray that God will bless the travelers. Finally, pray that You will continue knocking on people's life so that they will know Your grace. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
