The song reflects the generation gap between the middle age and the 80s and the struggle of the 80s.

 

“80 後  越是得  越是失  如何求生 安守我率性的本份”

“歪曲的真相　天天加演　在那推土機面前”

“蓑衣裡　攜明燈　來尋根　聚集成軍  怎麼你嘲笑我的家國愛恨”

Comparing to the 50s-70s, 80s are more active in participating socio-political movement. Also, they search for their own identity in the society or even the nation. But their activities always look down and misunderstand by the 50-70s as making trouble to the society.

 

 

“80 後  成年嗎  兒童嗎  仍頑皮嗎  修補這一輩的分岔”

“或許艱苦青春不需算進命數  只考好中英數  叫兩老暫時驕傲”

They are consider as a children in the eyes of past generation. Sometime their preference and lifestyle is not appreciate by the past generation, so they are forced to follow the instruction and practice of the past generation, which sometime appears to be exhausting for them to follow.

 

 

“被大時代被娛樂養大”

“擠迫的沙灘裡  金啡色的肌膚裡  仍舊記得這首歌(陪伴我誕生的歌)”  (from 夏日寒風 by Alan Tam)

“一飛沖天去  一飛沖天去  無奈送走穿梭機” (from 穿梭機 by Leslie Cheung)

“今天應該很高興  今天應該很溫暖  隨便撤走多麼錯” (from 今天應該很高興 by Tat Ming Pair)

80s is the golden age of Cantopop, they grow up and deeply influenced by those songs. By time pass, they still missed those ages, so hook line from different classics are included to show their gratitude towards the stars. And they feel sorry about the decline of Cantopop.
