歌曲的创作灵感来自于伪神乐队与来自上海的本格推理小说作家时晨老师共同创作的短片小说《东晚司乐》。曲名致敬了日本著名本格推理作家大山诚一郎的短篇小说集《密室收藏家》，在彼作中“密室收藏家”是一位青春永驻、每逢罕见密室凶杀则会出手破解的神秘人物，与密室收藏家无往不利的情境迥异的是，《东晚司乐》中的李东清怀揣音乐梦想，也不乏创作优美旋律的天赋与努力，却在命运的摆布下成为了吞没一个个音乐家的巨浪，最终怀着满腔的不解与挫败，自己也在无妄的罪业里越陷越深。熟悉伪神的朋友们不难察觉，本作是新专辑中最为接近以往风格的一作，狂风骤雨般的敲击、压迫感十足的人声表达、萦绕攀升的吉他演奏，却在疾速、凌厉之余，从细节上增加了更多处理，这支先行单曲也像是一次感召或一把钥匙，借由它走入伪神已完成某种进化的创作世界。 The song draws its inspiration from the short film-novella “Dongwan Siyue”, a collaborative work between Falsegods and Shanghai-based orthodox mystery writer Shi Chen. The title pays homage to the short story collection “The Locked Room Collector (Chinese song name translating as The Collector of Defeats)” by renowned Japanese honkaku mystery author Seiichiro Oyama. In that work, the “Locked Room Collector” is a mysterious figure who seems eternally youthful and inevitably appears whenever a rare locked-room murder occurs, effortlessly solving the case each time. In stark contrast to the invincible figure of the Collector, Li Dongqing, the protagonist of Dongwan Silue, carries a deep dream of music. Though gifted with the ability to compose beautiful melodies and possessing genuine dedication to his craft, he is ultimately manipulated by fate into becoming a tidal force that swallows one musician after another. Filled with confusion and frustration, he gradually sinks deeper and deeper into a chain of unintended sins. Long-time listeners of Falsegods will easily notice that this track is the one that comes closest to the band’s earlier sonic identity on the new album. Torrential drumming, intensely oppressive vocal expression, and spiraling, ascending guitar passages remain at its core. Yet amid the speed and sharp aggression, the band has introduced far more detailed and nuanced arrangements. As the album’s lead single, the track serves almost like an invocation—or a key—inviting listeners to step into the evolved creative world that Falsegods has forged.
