The Way I Die (feat. Alice from Meovv)

by The Flashback

/

about

Hong Kong-based indie rock band The Flashback releases vulnerable acoustic track ‘The Way I Die', venturing away from their rock and roll roots.
This introspective ode to their love of folk is celebrated with bright, finger-picked guitar, melancholic harmonies, and profound lyrics. Inspired by the likes of Bon Iver, Bob Dylan and Kings of Convenience, this song encapsulates the essence of folk through contemplative storytelling.

The Way I Die releases across major streaming platforms and will have an accompanying video released at the end of January.

努力在生存的時候 — 卻忘掉活著的理由。

The Flashback在新一年豁然面對人類最大的恐懼，藉著對死亡的想像，反思存在的意義，尋回活著的勇氣。

“When you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”

一首以死亡為題的詩

一場關於終結的思想實驗

lyrics

Who hasn’t had a change of heart?
Who hasn’t found a way to love?
Ages and stages
Ashes to ashes
Those the things I never overcome

Who hasn't dreamt of being someone else?
Who hasn't closed eyes to face the sun?
The shallow whale
And the winding lane
Those the things I just have to waive

Can you please me?
Free me from the rise
I’m nearby, and I’ll soon arrive
Can you teach me?
Save me from the fire
The soot keeps breezing
Head to south and erase bliss
And maybe my friend, my lover, that’s the way I die

The end of my cigarette won’t ever tell
The answer of division, can't you hear?
The winter left the matches on my wooden roof
Playing my mind like I’m fooled

Can you heal me?
Free me from this world
I’ve forgotten how I had gone that far
Can you feel me?
Some spirits never die
The soot keeps breezing
Head to south and erase bliss
And maybe my friend, my lover, my band, my teacher, my boss, my landlord, my music, my mother,
that’s the way I die
