Brother Bao's works are telling people something. I think this song is to tell people that there is a vague and realistic degree between emptiness and self-restraint. Only by grasping the scale can life have a real pursuit. I think this is what Brother Bao wants to tell us in this lyric, and he is also using these two sentences to criticize the phenomenon that society was too empty and too pursuing at that time. In fact, if you listen carefully, you should realize the truth of being a man from these two sentences, which I think is what Brother Bao wants to convey in these two lyrics.
This is my understanding of these two lyrics in Gossip, and my personal views are for reference only.
