Ku Wuji · AI Music · 3 reads

Inspired by Su Shi's “Inscribed on the Wall of Xilin Temple,” these new lyrics tell of seeing the world from another direction.

A line from the song

Look at the world from another direction

Give what I have yet to understand a little more room

Music in the words

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Yesterday’s mountain wears a different face today

The same road yields new discoveries when seen from the other side

I walk into thick clouds carrying my conclusion

Only then do I realize my own eyes can close a door too

[Pre-Chorus]

First soften the voice so eager to explain

Listen to what scenery your companions see

[Chorus]

Look at the world from another direction

Give what I have yet to understand a little more room

Where I stand is only one point within it

There is no need to call everything glimpsed at first sight forever

Step beyond that stubborn boundary in your heart

Your differences and mine can piece together a whole sky

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Up close it seems a wall, yet from afar its contours rise and fall

The trees at the mountain's foot hide that sliver of sunrise at the summit

Some see perilous heights, others recognize the way home

Each person's story lends warmth to the silent stones

[Pre-Chorus]

First soften the voice so eager to explain

Listen to what scenery your companions see

[Chorus]

Look at the world from another direction

Give what I have yet to understand a little more room

Where I stand is only one point within it

There is no need to call everything glimpsed at first sight forever

Step beyond that stubborn boundary in your heart

Your differences and mine can piece together a whole sky

[Bridge]

Admitting I don't know will not make me small

If we stop arguing, we can hold hands more firmly still

As the clouds drift little by little from my brows

Only then do I see there have always been other paths into the distance

[Final Chorus]

Look at the world from another direction

Give what I have yet to understand a little more room

Where I stand is only one point within it

There is no need to call everything glimpsed at first sight forever

Step beyond that stubborn boundary in your heart

Your differences and mine can piece together a whole sky

[Outro]

At the next turn, I will take my time before giving it a name

Let the new scenery slowly open the heart to listen
