-------------------------------------

My intention was to comfort myself when I wrote the first line "Beautiful soul, you're much better than who you think you are..." when I was going through emotional turmoil back in 2019. As I went on, I realised I wasn't looking for comfort, I was looking for an outlet. It became a conversation rather than a comfort. Somehow the negativity in this song touched me more than anything. I believe we are have unique personalities, but our experiences can be similar. To all the people who are struggling emotionally, I have something to say: shed light on your beautiful emotions, revive and bounce back to life.
在2019年某些原因令我情緒困擾，想寫一首歌安慰自己。第一句寫的就是 “Beautiful soul, you're much better than who you think you are..."。之後我發現其實我並不是想找安慰，而是需要發洩。這首歌變成了一段內心掙扎的對話，而這首歌出奇地帶給我的不是負能量，而是感動。我想跟所有被情緒困擾的人說：包容自己的情緒，重新繼續走下去吧。

Special thanks to Hope of the City for providing a space for us to shoot! On behalf of the crew and myself, I have donated to Hope COVID-19 Relief fund in Hope of the City Foundation Limited to help those in need in this difficult time in history.

Lyrics:
Beautiful soul
You’re much better
Than who you think you are
When you try to surrender

There’s no one like you
Exactly like you
You’re perfect just the way you are
It’s the truth

Easy for you to say
But I can’t tell myself these things

Yea, I know you tried to save me
Tried to save me and find a cure
For me
But it’s not easy
And I want to let you know
I hate my feelings
I hate that I can feel
But it’s not easy
To play my part
But I know I have a heart

Beautiful soul
Do you remember
The shit that came around
You never surrendered

Don’t tell me you don’t love yourself
No excuse for who you are
A mind
A heart
To love

Easy for you to say
But I can’t tell myself these things

Yea, I know you tried to save me
Tried to save me and find a cure
For me
But it’s not easy
And I want to let you know
I hate my feelings
I hate that I can feel
But it’s not easy
To play my part
But I know I have a heart

Oh, revive
Oh, survive
Oh, revive
Oh, survive

Do you know how hard I’ve tried
How hard I’ve tried to hold them in
That’s not me
That’s not me
So I want to let you see it through my eyes
I hate that I can’t lie
But it’s not easy
To play my part
I know I have a heart

Oh, revive
Oh, survive
Oh, revive

Oh, revive
Oh, survive
Oh, revive

Oh, revive
Oh, survive
Oh, revive
