半疯半傻半梦半醒半痴半醉
[bàn fēng bàn shă bàn mèng bàn xĭng bàn chī bàn zuì]
Half-crazy, half-foolish, half-dreaming, half-awake, half-addled, half-drunk. A poetic way of describing an emotionally conflicted state. Being neither fully grounded nor completely intoxicated, it illustrates mixed states of mind ranging from confusion and daydreaming to partial clarity, suggesting the difficulty between holding onto reality and getting lost within one’s thoughts.
