2018年與大家解釋過「最愛的痛」不見得是感情上的困饒，而是任何你用來逃避更不想面對的事情的替代品。當我們遇到難關時，我們會想盡辦法去撐過它，而這些「辦法」不見得是最健康的。例如感情上遇到問題會用工作去逃避。例如工作上遇到問題會靠吃東西來發洩。例如飲食上遇到問題會靠談戀愛去轉移注意力。起初有表面上的緩解，但只會越來越苦，因為逃避無法永久。
In 2018, I explained that the lyrics of “Precious Pain” aren’t necessarily about the emotional distress of romantic love. I wanted to convey the destructive nature of coping mechanisms. When life hits us with hardship, we find ways to get through it, but these “ways” are not always healthy. How many of us use work to (not) deal with relationship problems? How many of us use food to numb ourselves from work stress? How many of us think a new relationship will solve all our body image issues? And the cycle continues. Initially there is a superficial relief, but as escape is only ever temporary at best, suffering inevitably sets in.
轉移注意力不是不好的，但如過它變成一種逃避的惡性循環我們永遠不會去面對原本照成我們不快樂的那件事。而我們不斷把精力放在不對的地方讓我們被貼上「工作狂」、「暴食症患者」、「恐怖情人」等失衡的標籤。如果真的想要療癒自己好像必須先學會放掉《最愛的痛》。
Diverting one’s attention isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but if we’re constantly trying to escape from our core reasons for unhappiness, we will never make any real progress. True healing comes from letting go of these emotional crutches.
很滿意這次與法獸合作了《最愛的痛 FSHO Remix》，法獸用了人聲切片 vocal chop 去呼應我心中的混沌，卻一直重複一句話：放手。嗯，也許再糾結再混亂再黑暗再恐慌，至少可以從放手開始。
I’m very happy with this collaboration with FSHO. His use of vocal chops perfectly echos the chaotic state of mind I was trying to capture, all the while repeating one crucial phrase: Let go. If in all the confusion, you don’t know where to start, you can always let go.
