还摇晃 无风不起浪 别询问多少海拔
Still swaying, no wind stirs the waves, don't ask how high the altitude is.
荡下去 什么也不要想
Sway down, don't think of anything.
任命运去兴风作浪 我宁愿我谁都不像
Let fate stir up the tides, I'd rather not resemble anyone at all.
装哑巴 抵死不说谎话 (不记得那些狂妄梦想)
Play dumb, refuse to tell a lie (forgetting those reckless dreams).
浮世绘众生皮相
A floating world depicts all lives.
歇斯底里 心有不甘
Hysteria, my heart refuses to yield.
寄望坠落探底 然后反弹
Hoping for a fall to the depths, then a rebound.
自尊像贪念 无穷膨胀
Self-esteem like greed, endlessly expanding.
找到你之前 我不怕将全部赌上
Before I found you, I wasn't afraid to stake it all.
为什么姿态很紧张? 为什么孤单不野放?
Why do the poses seem so tense? Why does loneliness not run free?
为什么在关键时刻少了优雅?
Why is elegance lacking at crucial moments?
我自问自答 不请求谁的见谅
I ask myself and answer, seeking no one's mercy.
没那样圣洁或肮脏 等待救赎 如此这般
Not so sacred nor so filthy, waiting for redemption, just like this.
管不住他们的嘴巴 我只好长出肩膀
Can't control their mouths; I can only grow stronger shoulders.
接住你 什么也不敢想
To catch you, afraid to think of anything.
还不够摊牌的筹码 傅科摆没可能停下
Not enough chips to lay down; the dice won't stop rolling.
镜子里不认识的模样 (我看著自己部分死亡)
A reflection in the mirror, a face I don't recognize (I see parts of myself dying).
浮世绘众生皮相
The fleeting world shows the skins of all beings.
歇斯底里 心有不甘
Hysterical, my heart refuses to accept.
寄望坠落探底 然后反弹
Hoping for a fall that hits the bottom, then bounces back.
自尊像贪念 无穷膨胀
Self-esteem like greed, endlessly inflating.
找到你之前 我不怕将全部赌上
Before I found you, I dared to bet it all.
为什么姿态很紧张? 为什么孤单不野放?
Why does the stance feel so tense? Why is loneliness not set free?
为什么在关键时刻少了优雅?
Why, at crucial moments, does elegance fade away?
我自问自答 不请求谁的见谅
I ask myself and answer, seeking no one's forgiveness.
没那样圣洁或肮脏 等待救赎 如此这般
Neither so holy nor so dirty, waiting for redemption, just so.
自尊像贪念 无穷膨胀
Self-esteem like greed, endlessly inflating.
找到你之前 我不怕将全部赌上
Before I found you, I dared to bet it all.
为什么姿态很紧张? 为什么孤单不野放?
Why does the stance feel so tense? Why is loneliness not set free?
为什么在关键时刻少了优雅?
Why, at crucial moments, does elegance fade away?
我自问自答 不请求谁的见谅
I question myself and answer, asking no one's forgiveness,
没那样圣洁或肮脏 等待救赎 如此这般
Not so holy or filthy, waiting for redemption, just like this,
如此这般
Just like this.
