Interpreting the lyrics

The lyrics are from the song "出山" by HuaZhou. The track, rich in poetic imagery, tells the wanderer's journey, offering rebellious introspection and commentary on hypocrisy, fame, and self-awareness. It includes references to iconic folklore like Tianqiao, Wangchuan River, and mythical places. The scenes painted, like crossing the ghostly city at midnight, carry illusions related to the afterlife and mythical beliefs. It’s a powerful narrative about internal conflict and disillusionment.

Clarifying the second generation leadership core

I’m looking for references to "第二代领导集体核心" in sources, which refers to Deng Xiaoping's leadership core, to validate the term. I found relevant explanations in Wikipedia lines about the concept, which will serve as citations. Now, I need to evaluate whether interpreting lyrics as a metaphor for this leadership core is reasonable without introducing sensitive topics. Once clarified, I can assess the metaphorical use of the lyric properly and provide a thoughtful analysis.

Evaluating the metaphorical use of lyrics

The lyric "曲终人散" can metaphorically refer to political transitions, like the end of Deng Xiaoping's era, when people “parted ways.” However, the phrase’s connection to the second-generation leadership core might be more evocative than factual. "出山," relating to Deng's return after the Cultural Revolution, adds layers to this metaphor. While it’s plausible that netizens use these lyrics to discuss political transitions, it’s important to note that there’s no confirmation from the songwriters themselves. This is more of a cultural appropriation within the context of Chinese political discourse.

The netizen argues that without the line referencing Mao's poem, they wouldn't think of Mao as the protagonist. But because it's there, they believe the protagonist is someone else, possibly Mao. The phrase "混淆黑白" (mixing black and white) could fit Mao's class struggle or Deng Xiaoping's "cat theory." But this phrase primarily refers to confusing right and wrong, which gives us a bit of a puzzle. The original lyric seems to suggest someone struggling with moral clarity, but who exactly?

The netizen interprets the lyric referencing Mao's poem as pointing to Mao as the protagonist, tying it to historical events and the Cultural Revolution. The line "层林尽染百舸流" definitely hints at Mao's famous poem. Our response should analyze this interpretation, explore whether the lyric clearly references Mao, and examine other potential meanings. Textual evidence would be helpful, but we can also rely on what we remember about the poem and give reasonable disclaimers about over-interpretation.
