Lyrics:
Forget the flowers you planted, start over and give up your ideals.
Stop looking at the dusty wedding invitations, you are moving.
Those who can bear it will accept it, and they will fall down one day.
In fact, there is no stability and happiness, never bad.
Just like this area, it used to be the best in the world.
But suddenly, the whole street was full of crows.
The good times don't last long, and the ladder can't climb up casually.
Don't people you love have a lifetime? There is probably no need to be afraid.
The original wedding invitation was printed with gold foil, and the wall of the wedding photo was also installed.
All the good old days will disappear at the same time tomorrow.

Creation background
West Rail Street used to be an old street in Hong Kong, but it gradually became known in 1980s. Almost every couple who hold a wedding will go to Xitie Street to buy wedding supplies. Most of the buildings in this street are Tang buildings in the 1950s and 1960s, which are uniform and have traditional characteristics.
At the beginning of 2004, the Hong Kong government planned to redevelop this area, which aroused the dissatisfaction of local residents, who were worried that the government would destroy this historic street. In the end, Xitie Street, once full of red gold, could not be swallowed up by the great ship of the times and has suddenly become a ruin. The song "Xitie Street" was written for Hong Kong. It represents nostalgia and the "old town complex" swallowed up by modern civilization in many Hong Kong people's hearts.
"Hi Tie Street" is about a couple who bought a new house to get married. Even the invitations were printed before they decided to break up. Like Xitie Street in Wan Chai, it was once very prosperous and beaming, and it ended up being demolished.
