时而进展 时而退缩
Sometimes moving forward, sometimes stepping back
谁丢出这个复杂无解的习题
Who tossed this complex, unsolvable problem?
纸篓里囤积许多错误 尝试睡去
In the paper bin, piled up are many mistakes, trying to sleep
习惯跟著表格前进
Accustomed to moving ahead by the checklist
忘了翻页的空白 也是片天地
Forgotten blank pages are still a piece of the world
有时糊涂也是种幸福 不药而愈
Sometimes being confused is a kind of happiness, healing without medicine
你的过往 我停滞 减掉自己
Your past, I stand still, shedding parts of myself
字里行间 乘几年 好多风趣
Between the lines, many years have passed, so much wit
从来没人能完美阐述 得到总和
No one has ever perfectly explained the total sum
对我来说 仍然美丽
For me, it still remains beautiful
也不妄想能找出证据
Don't expect to find the evidence,
谁爱著谁 出版成品
Who loves who, published in the end,
我们被告知 错误是种必经 尽量删去
We are told that errors are a journey we must take, so we try to eliminate them,
歪头思考 咬著铅笔
Tilting my head in thought, biting my pencil,
在小数点旁 四舍五入的游移
Next to the decimal, the struggle of rounding,
我们努力简化成 各自模样而去
We strive to simplify into our own forms and drift apart,
话说回来 我的苦衷
That being said, my troubles,
最大的弱点 一直是算数问题
My greatest weakness has always been a matter of arithmetic,
无论我怎么截弯取直 找不回你
No matter how I cut corners, I can't bring you back,
你的过往 我停滞 减掉自己
Your past, I linger, subtracting myself.
字里行间 乘几年 好多风趣
Between the lines, through the years, so much charm
从来没人能完美阐述 得到总和
No one has ever perfectly explained the sum of it all
对我来说 仍然美丽
To me, it’s still beautiful
也不妄想能找出证据
And I don’t delude myself into finding the proof
谁爱著谁 出版成品
Who loves whom, published as a product
我们被告知 错误是种必经 尽量删去
We are told that mistakes are a must, try to erase them
你的过往 我停滞 减掉自己
Your past, I remain stagnant, shedding myself
字里行间 乘几年 好多风趣
Between the lines, through the years, so much charm
从来没人能完美阐述 得到总和
No one has ever perfectly explained the sum of it all
对我来说 仍然美丽
To me, it’s still beautiful
也不妄想能找出证据
I won't hope to find the proof,
谁爱著谁 出版成品
Who loves whom, it’s published as a work.
我们被告知 错误是种必经 你先睡去
We are told that mistakes are a necessary path, you fall asleep first.
只有我醒著 逐步解题
Only I am awake, slowly solving the riddle.
