We taiwanese are enamored with the story of the butterfly and the flower. In Daoism, there is a story said by Jhong-Zi. One day, Jhong-Zi made a dream and became a butterfly in the dream. When he suddenly waked up, he was confused. He is wondering if he is a butterfly dreamed about being a humanbeing or if he is a humanbeing dreamed about being a butterfly. The butterfly is usually symboled the illusory and changeable life. The flower, in many country, symboled the untruthful dream or hope. When the illusory life meets untruthful hope, it’s always story.

The beautiful flower always makes people go to pursue. Like the lyric of the “wind flower” said ” Their beauty captures every younger dreamer who lingers near them”. Maybe a beautiful woman, maybe a dream of roving the world or a career without chance to turning back. It’s like the destiny that the butterfly flies to the flower. Some got what they want, but most don’t. This song stands by a friend’s point of view that seeing throught the complicated feeling of his friend who paid price for pursuing an reverie.

Chinese lyric:
記得那盛開的花, 送給了多麼傻的她
花謝了, 有種冷冽的感覺
那愛情, 沉默啊
這些年, 蛻變的她
忘卻了, 眼淚的代價
炫耀她, 絢爛美麗的翅膀
找尋那 不謝的花
風,吹著, 說四季和心一樣
永遠反反覆覆的變化
雨 ,落著, 說愛情和風一樣
總是吹落盛開中的花
蝶戀花, 找不回的她
月光下, 冷卻的情話
雨淋濕了, 蝴蝶的翅膀
風吹走了, 嚮往已久的神話
她眼中有絕望的淚光

Translation:
I remembered the blooming flowers which I sent to my silly her. The season the flower faded, the chilly air is surrounded. Talking about the serious relationship, I turn to be silent.
She changes a lot after all those years and forgot how many tears she paid for the growth. She shows off her sparkled and beautiful wings. She is still not giving up for finding the immortal flower.
When the wind comes, it said people’s mind is repeatedly changing like the seasons and never will be end. When the rain falls, it said love is like the wind. The most blooming flower will be the first one fallen.
* Repeat
The butterfly is fascinated with a flower. I can’t find her back. Our sweet talk is frozen below the moonlight. The heavy rainfall punchs the wings of the butterfly. The strong wind splits the immortal legend she yearned for years. I found out the despair tears holding in her wet eyes.
Here is the MP3 file of the song:

People is looking for an immortal flower. Does anyone in the world find one? So, what are you looking for?
