Suan Tian (Feat. Fahrenheit)
S.H.E.
The Sweet and Sour Symphony of Love
The song 'Suan Tian (Feat. Fahrenheit)' by S.H.E. featuring Fahrenheit is a delightful exploration of the multifaceted nature of love. The title itself, 'Suan Tian,' translates to 'Sweet and Sour,' which sets the tone for the lyrical journey. The song delves into the various flavors of love, from the initial sweetness of a smile to the occasional need for a bit of sourness to keep things exciting. The lyrics use food metaphors extensively, comparing love to a mix of flavors that one can savor and control.
The chorus, sung by both S.H.E. and Fahrenheit, emphasizes the idea of taking charge of one's love life. They sing about opening the 'insurance of love' and having the freedom to choose how to experience it. This metaphor suggests that love, like an insurance policy, offers a sense of security but also requires careful management. The repeated phrase 'suan suan tian tian you wo zuo zhu' (sweet and sour, I am in control) reinforces the theme of personal agency in love.
Each verse adds a unique perspective on love. Jiro and Aaron from Fahrenheit describe the initial stages of love, filled with sweetness and excitement. Ella and Selena from S.H.E. talk about the need for a bit of sourness and adventure to keep the relationship interesting. Calvin and Wu Zun reflect on the deeper, more enduring aspects of love, emphasizing that true love is a blend of sweet and sour memories that one cherishes daily. The song's playful and upbeat tone, combined with its insightful lyrics, makes it a celebration of love in all its complexity.
