Listening to Cheer Chen songs is a pure enjoyment, a sonic-orgasm of the highest order.
Okay, i may be exaggerating here....but this IMMORTAL album is Deep and Dark and I love it!
Here's my personal interpretation of her song, 手的预言 Rebirth.
There are times where Cheer gives glimpse of what she intends to convey by the title of the song's English title. Rebirth is "a belief that consciousness arising in the new person is neither identical to, nor different from, the old consciousness, but forms part of a causal continum." In the lyrics, Cheer is using a simple three Chinese character to portray this theme. What is the prophecy of the hand? It's just a releasing of the character's heart toward freedom. Which is exactly why Cheer reference the butterfly symbology to represent a need for change and greater freedom, and at the same time it represents courage.
The setting of a possible MTV is on a cold western coastline, with storm threatening and rising tides. Cheer Chendon't waste a single word in this song, every character has a meaning. My favorite phrase in this song is "追逐一头大雨中的狼" Wolf represent wilderness, the hunter, warrior and magician. Can you imagine Cheer Chen surround a pack of wolf, leading the troops onward charge for the kill with her guitar? Yes, I can !
The song is only 1min36sec long but a powerful prelude that sets the stage of the album.
