"Tears on the Boat" not only writes about a love triangle that is entangled in love affairs, but also is an elegiac song dedicated to all the souls that are tossed and lost in the wheel of time and the subtleties of human nature. It asks: When the purest friendship encounters the darkest desire for survival, when the long-awaited redemption must come at the cost of the fall of another equally desperate person, after that door of life that finally opens, is it true freedom, or is it another shackles that cannot be shaken off? Under the swaying lights and music of the Republic of China, a golden orchid friendship sworn with blood and tears will eventually usher in its irreversible ending in the flames of love, jealousy and survival - either it will survive the disaster, or it will be destroyed together.
