镜子前的你 弯曲的傀儡身躯 微弱的光线
In front of the mirror, you, a distorted puppet's form, in weak light's embrace
亵渎的神秘 一阵偷来的沉默
Sacrilegious mystery, a stolen silence steals through
脚下灰白的大理石 棋盘式的陷阱
The gray-white marble beneath your feet, a checkered snare to ensnare
十字般的吞蚀 切断你身上多余的线
Like a cross, it devours, cutting unnecessary strings from your frame
复见二十岁的礼物盒 伪装快乐的蝴蝶结
Behold, the gift box of your twenties, a butterfly knot masking joy
静静预告你隔夜后的紫蓝色眼泪 天真的微笑 就要幻灭
Silently predicting the violet tears of dawn, your innocent smile is about to fade
马甲上的绳索 一件多余的蝶衣
The ropes on the vest, an unnecessary winged garment
牵绊成年破茧的蝴蝶 缠住即将展翅的蝶翼
Bound is the adult butterfly breaking free, entangled in wings that are ready to soar
马甲上的绳索 一件多余的蝶衣
The ropes on the vest, an unnecessary winged garment
牵绊成年破茧的蝴蝶 缠住即将展翅的蝶翼
Bound is the adult butterfly breaking free, entangled in wings that are ready to soar
虚假的蝶衣 是你沉重的包袱
The false butterfly cloak is your heavy burden,
挤压本质的缺陷 赢得人前的称许
Squeezing the flaws of your essence, earning praise before the crowd.
马甲上的绳索 时时在围绕
The ropes on the corset are always wrapping around,
抬起头看 镜中已是破碎的自己
Lift your head and see, the shattered self in the mirror.
复见二十岁的礼物盒 伪装快乐的蝴蝶结
Once more meeting the gift box of twenty years, a bowtie disguising joy,
静静预告你隔夜后的紫蓝色眼泪 天真的微笑 就要幻灭
Quietly foretelling your overnight indigo tears, the innocent smile is about to vanish.
马甲上的绳索 一件多余的蝶衣
The ropes on the corset, an unnecessary butterfly cloak,
牵绊成年破茧的蝴蝶 缠住即将展翅的蝶翼
Binding the adult butterfly breaking free, entangling its wings ready to soar.
马甲上的绳索 一件多余的蝶衣
The ropes on the corset, an unnecessary butterfly cloak,
牵绊成年破茧的蝴蝶 缠住即将展翅的蝶翼
Binding the adult butterfly breaking free, entangling its wings ready to soar.
马甲上的绳索 一件多余的蝶衣
The ropes on the waistcoat, an unnecessary butterfly cloak
牵绊成年破茧的蝴蝶 缠住即将展翅的蝶翼
Binding the grown butterfly breaking free from its cocoon, entangling the wings ready to take flight
马甲上的绳索 一件多余的蝶衣
The ropes on the waistcoat, an unnecessary butterfly cloak
牵绊成年破茧的蝴蝶 缠住即将展翅的蝶翼
Binding the grown butterfly breaking free from its cocoon, entangling the wings ready to take flight
