神在未知裡愛著我
人在眼前的世界裡操控著我
人在眼前的世界裡操控著我
我只是一個等待被取代的佔位符
滿滿的懸念懸在了徹底寂寞
有時叫我X
有時稱呼我某某
有時乾脆一聲誒你過來
和你們一樣是個空殼之人
夢裡卻總是靈魂充滿
心靈的花園也飄散著迷人的芬芳
有時又是個銀幕呆呆望著稀稀落落的觀眾席
沒人知道什麼是票房
手機宇宙無所不在
那裡面也有許多眼神渙散的同胞選擇沉默
果然命運拓撲了在一起
衡量現實的咒語們努力微波著燒炙思想的荷爾蒙
我們註定孤單無法繁殖
在遙遠的冷冷清清的這一方
我該怎麼辦？
我該怎麼辦？
我該怎麼辦？
—— 當你發現自己只是個佔位符時，你是否準備好清空重來，或者填滿它？但兩者差別不大，我們無法加進什麼，也無法從中拿走什麼，不增不減於本來。
今天學到了一個詞“佔位符”，它在語言或數學裡的意思如下:
佔位符（placeholder）指的是一個暫時用來填補位置、但還不是最終內容的“空殼”。
例如：數學裡的 x 是未知數，是一個佔位符，等著你去解答。
程式裡的 {name} 是佔位符，等著系統用真的名字取代。
據說我們都是這星球上的佔位符！
Fantasies of a Placeholder
God loves me from the unknown
While humans in this present world control me.
I am merely a placeholder, waiting to be replaced.
Brimming suspense hangs still in complete solitude.
Sometimes they call me x,
Sometimes just So-and-so,
Sometimes a blunt “Hey, you—come here.”
Like all of you, I am an empty shell,
Yet in dreams, my soul is always full.
The garden of my spirit breathes a captivating fragrance.
Sometimes, I’m just a screen
Staring blankly at scattered audience seats.
No one knows what counts as box office success.
In the all-pervading universe of smartphones,
There are others like me,
With vacant stares,
Choosing silence.
Indeed, fate has topologically tied us together.
Spells for measuring reality
Microwave the hormones of thought, searing them.
We are doomed to be alone, unable to reproduce
In this cold and distant corner of existence.
What should I do?
What should I do?
What should I do?
—— When you realize you’re just a placeholder, are you ready to clear it all and start over, or to fill it up? There’s not much difference between the two — we can neither add anything nor take anything away. Nothing more, nothing less than what it originally is."
Today I learned the word placeholder.
In language or mathematics, it refers to a temporary “shell” used to occupy space,
but not yet filled with its final content.
For example:
In math, x is a placeholder—an unknown waiting to be solved.
In programming, {name} is a placeholder—waiting to be replaced by a real name.
They say we’re all placeholders on this planet!
