一旦开始觉得单身的夜太冷清
Once I start feeling the loneliness of a single night,
表示还没戒掉爱情里的尼古丁
It means I haven't kicked the nicotine of love yet.
透过耳机飙著那巨大的声音
Through the headphones, blasting that immense sound,
夜太安静
The night is too quiet.
在睡前我为自己上了一点妆
Before sleep, I put on a little makeup for myself,
熄了所有的灯站在镜子前欣赏
Turning off all the lights, standing in front of the mirror to admire.
只有瞳孔因为窗户没关闪著光
Only my pupils shine because the window is left open.
有点伤
A little hurt.
后来 怎么样
So, what happened later?
后来 轮到谁在风光
Later, whose turn is it to shine in the spotlight?
后来 哪个名字被遗忘
Later, which name is forgotten?
Woo 我 黑暗中跳舞
Woo, I dance in the dark.
一片黑 藏得住眼泪
A piece of darkness hides the tears.
Woo 我 黑暗中狂舞
Woo, I whirl wildly in the dark.
做替身的狼狈 影舞者的伤悲
The plight of a stand-in, the sorrow of a shadow dancer.
我舞对爱的醒悟 黑暗中跳舞
I dance to the awakening of love, dancing in the dark.
总努力取悦为我关注那张脸
Always striving to please, just to catch a glimpse of that face.
从不曾想过为了自己去表演
Never thought to perform for myself.
退到还没开始之前的那条线
Retreating to the line before it even began.
没风险
No risks.
在耳边陪你通宵达旦那些鼓
Staying up all night by your side with those drums in my ears,
似乎有点接近我想表达的愤怒
It seems a bit close to the anger I want to express.
你卖弄口才临走留下的祝福
You flaunt your eloquence, leaving blessings behind as you go,
显得唐突
It comes off a bit abrupt.
结束 是谁输
The end, who really loses?
结束 未必不是幸福
The end may not be devoid of happiness.
结束 不是非得有人哭
The end doesn’t have to mean someone cries.
Woo 我 黑暗中跳舞
Woo, I dance in the dark,
一片黑 藏得住眼泪
A sea of black hides the tears,
Woo 我 黑暗中狂舞
Woo, I whirl wildly in the dark.
做替身的狼狈 影舞者的伤悲
The plight of a stand-in, the dancer's sorrow
Woo 我 黑暗中跳舞
Woo, I'm dancing in the dark
不怕黑 看不到是非
Not fearing the night, can't see right from wrong
Woo 我 黑暗中狂舞
Woo, I'm wildly dancing in the dark
不再想有你陪 谢谢那些虚伪
No longer wishing for your company, thanks to all the pretense
我舞对爱的醒悟
I dance to the awakening of love
黑暗中跳舞
Dancing in the dark
汗 已经湿透 梦
Sweat has soaked the dream
已经醒了 那个人
I've already awakened, that person
已经 往前走
I've already moved forward
该是时候 好好的
It's time, let's take it seriously
开始为自己 好好活
And start living well for ourselves
黑暗中看著爱
In the darkness, I watch love
经过
As it passes by
Woo 我 黑暗中跳舞
Woo, I'm dancing in the dark
一片黑 藏得住眼泪
In this void, tears remain hidden
Woo 我 黑暗中狂舞
Woo, I'm dancing wildly in the dark
做替身的狼狈 影舞者的伤悲
A stand-in's plight, the dancer's sorrow
Woo 我 黑暗中跳舞
Woo, I'm dancing in the dark
不怕黑 看不到是非
Not afraid of the dark, can't see right from wrong
Woo 我 黑暗中狂舞
Woo, I dance wildly in the dark
不再想有你陪
No longer wishing for your company
谢谢那些虚伪
Thank you for the pretense
我舞对爱的醒悟
I dance to the awakening of love
黑暗中跳舞
Dancing in the darkness
