Song Lyrics
Cigarettes are lit one by one
Wine is drunk one by one
Please be considerate
I'm not good at drinking Sell me a cup of punch
Time goes by day by day
Sweat is flowing one by one
One day, we will all be old Bringing a certain son to the battlefield
The prodigal son returns to his old age
The prodigal son returns to his old age
The prodigal son returns to his new life
Dear, sweet, handsome friend
Rubbish, no good, useless friend
To ride my motorcycle on the bumpy road
My life is shit anyway
I have no money and no life
Friends, come to me
Cigarettes are lit one by one
They are lit one by one
We have a good life, but we have a lot to do with it.
Drinks by the glass
Please understand me
I can't hold my liquor well, please give me a drink
Time goes by day by day
Sweat by the drop
One day, we will be old and we will take our children with us
Return of the Prodigal Son
Cigarettes by the glass
Drinks by the glass
We have no money to drink, we can't take our lives. One glass, one glass, one glass
Please understand me
I can't hold my liquor, sell me a bottle of Chonkol
Time goes on day by day
Sweat by sweat
One day, we'll be old and we'll take someone with us
Cigarettes by cigarette, one by cigarette, one by one
One glass, one glass, one glass
Please understand me
Please understand me. I can't hold my liquor well, so sell me a cup of punch
Time goes by day by day
Sweat drops by drop
One day, we'll be old, we'll be old, we'll be old, we'll be old, we'll be old. p>
The vicissitudes of the heart in "The Return of the Prodigal Son" reveal the brotherly love that many men had in their youth.
While the three musicians of Eggplant Egg were all just 30 years old when the song was written, the lyrics of this Southern Minnesota song's lyrical rock are at the same time full of vicissitudes and transparency, and the vocals are full of a strong jianghu tone.
When Eggplant Egg performed the song between 2015 and 2016, he sang hard even on the chorus.
And in the 2017 re-recorded version, Eggplant Egg gradually learned the wonders of controlling strength and weakness, and the weaker parts of the song were largely sung in an airy voice, which was even better while also making the song's contrast of strength and weakness even more striking.
