The haunting beauty of "So Close, Yet So Far" 🥀 (Fan Edit & Lyrics)

the OST "The Distant Beside Me" has haunted me from the very start. It carries such a heavy sense of loss and inevitable regret.

I made this FMV to capture that lingering melancholy between Chen Hui and Songge — the painful journey of two people. What is right and wrong, the very thin line between good and evil and how to choose. A misstep followed by the next one and so on, and people slowly lose themselves.

Full Lyrics: The Distant Beside Me (身旁的远方)

Performed by Curley Gao (希林娜依·高)

总以为当我们看清事情的全样 We always thought once we saw the whole truth,

就能感同身受地理解对方 We could understand each other at heart.

总以为那一条我们未走的路 We always thought the road we never took

风景一定更斑斓 Must have held brighter views.

谁知灯光会暗 路口也那有转弯 Who knew the lights would fade, and even at the crossroads, there are still turns.

风筝会飘往抓不住的地方 Kites drift to places we cannot hold.

谁知最熟悉的背影越来越淡 Who knew the one we knew best would slowly fade,

变成身旁的远方 And become a distance right beside us.

往前走 别回头 路前方 才有岸 Keep walking forward, don’t look back—only ahead lies the shore.

攒太多亏欠 一生短暂 Too many debts left unpaid in a life so brief.

对和错 怎么选 结果难免遗憾 Right or wrong—how do we choose? Regret is hard to avoid.

也难再有时间用来赎回和原谅 There is little time left to make amends, or to forgive.

所谓的爱 也都以痛偿还 What we call love is repaid with pain.

我听欢声 我随人往 走进街巷 I hear the laughter, I follow the crowd into the streets.

在那个灯火通明夜晚 On that brightly lit night—

可惜 小镇的风 再追不上孩童 The wind of the town can no longer catch the children.

时过境迁 如今一切 已非过往 Time moves on, and everything now is no longer what it once was.
