观测的探头向内指引再向外延伸，而后以观众生。

《Why Not》是一首承载着集体情感的歌，歌手想象自己站在音乐剧舞台，耳边环绕着观众拍掌的声响，此刻人们的忧愁、喜悦、妄想、鼓舞如交响乐般交织，再凝结人山人海的力量，将声音吸纳再传递。舞台穹顶飘荡着无穷尽透明的小薄片，那是每个人的戏台，每个人的内心，每个人的照见。

“观”——“照五蕴皆空”，以他人之镜可观自身，以自我之镜可照实相。

The gaze turns inward once more, then expands to everyone. Why Not carries collective emotion. Zhang imagines a theatre, applause raining down. Joy, sorrow, hope, restlessness — all rising and mixing and condensing into the power of a crowd, absorbing and transmitting voices. Tiny glass-like pieces float under the dome — each one a life, a heart, a story being seen.

Why Not— “form is emptiness, emptiness is form”—through others we see ourselves; through the self we see truth.

V1:

Hopeless in the corner

Wishing those stares were warmer

A little really goes a long way

Foolish voices leading me astray

 

Hurting me, 24/7

Honestly, I got a confession

Every time “you can’t” comes my way

It just really makes me wanna say

 

PC:

Why not? Oh

Why not? Oh

Whyyyyyyy not?

 

CH:

(Why not?)

I’m gonna fly spite the chains on me

(Why not?)

Ain’t gonna try, no I’m gon succeed

(Why not?)

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

 

(Why not?)

I’m knocking down all the walls ‘round me

(Why not?)

I’ll shout it out ‘cross the Seven Seas

(Why not?)

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not baby?

 

V2:

Tell me that I’m worthless

I’m tired of trying to be perfect

I don’t really care

Must be something in the air

 

PC:

Why not? Oh

Why not? Oh

Whyyyyyyy not?

 

CH:

(Why not?)

I’m gonna fly spite the chains on me

(Why not?)

Ain’t gonna try, no I’m gon succeed

(Why not?)

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

 

(Why not?)

I’m knocking down all the walls ‘round me

(Why not?)

I’ll shout it out ‘cross the Seven Seas

(Why not?)

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not baby?

 

Breakdown:

Hoping in a corner

Finally I’m ready to be stronger

And if they ask me why

 

Chorus:

I’m gonna fly spite the chains on me

Ain’t gonna try, no I’m gon succeed

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

 

I’m knocking down all the walls ‘round me

I’ll shout it out ‘cross the Seven Seas

And if they, they ask me (why)

Why not?

Whyyyyyyy Why why not?

Whyyyyyyy Why why not?

Whyyyyyyy Why
