垂涎的邪恶 陪我长大 (陪我长大)
The tempting evil grew up alongside me (grew up alongside me)
在软烂中生长 社会营养 (社会营养)
Nurtured by a society that thrives in softness (society's nourishment)
过去坑疤的 让我站稳了
The scars of the past made me stand strong
那些神丑的 评谁乱正的
Those ugly gods, judging who’s right and wrong
喔 我都笑哭了
Oh, I laughed until I cried
这什么标准 急著决定适者生存
What’s this standard? Rushing to decide who survives
爱我 恨我 非我
Love me, hate me, not me
有一些外在我 来自内在我
Some outer me comes from my inner self
听谁说 错的 对的
Who says what's wrong, what's right?
说 美的 丑的
Saying what's beautiful, what's ugly
若问我 我看 我说
If you ask me, I see, I say
我怪美的
I blame my beauty
看不见我的美 是你瞎了眼
If you can't see my beauty, it's you who are blind
称赞的嘴脸 却转身吐口水
Praise with sweet words, then turn and spit behind
审美的世界 谁有胆说那么绝对
In a world of aesthetics, who dares to be so absolute?
真我 假我 自我
The true me, the false me, the self
看今天这个我 想要哪个我
Look at today’s me, which version do you want?
听谁说 错的 对的
Listening to who says what's wrong and what's right
说 美的 丑的
Saying beautiful, saying ugly
若问我 我看 我说
If you ask me, I see, I say
我怪美的
I blame the beauty,
谁来推我一把 On to the next one
Who will give me a push? On to the next one.
一路背著太多道德 活著令人会喘
Carrying too much morality, living takes my breath away.
任谁去伤 去想 去讲 不相关就别管
Let anyone hurt, think, speak; if it's unrelated, just ignore it.
太婉转的相处 灵魂拉扯 左右为难
Too gentle interactions, souls tugging, caught in a dilemma.
正负能量 全都吃掉
Positive and negative energy, devoured entirely.
美的 丑的 自有它存在的必要
Beauty and ugliness, each have their reason to exist.
爱恨随你各自喜好 拒绝你的伪善拥抱
Love and hate, choose what you like; reject your hypocritical embrace.
想要活得显耀 回应心中恶之必要
Wanting to shine, answering the necessity of darkness within.
谁说 错的 对的
Who says wrong is right?
说 美的 丑的
Speaking of beauty and ugliness,
若问我 我说我呢
If you ask me, I say it's me,
怪美
Strange beauty.
