梦里梦到醒不来的梦 红线里被软禁的红
A dream in a dream, waking never to escape, ensnared in the scarlet thread.
所有刺激剩下疲乏的痛 再无动于衷
All the thrills leave only tired pain, no longer indifferent.
从背后抱你的时候 期待的却是他的面容
When I hold you from behind, I find myself hoping for his face.
说来实在嘲讽 我不太懂 偏渴望你懂
It's truly ironic to say, I don’t quite understand, yet I crave for you to know.
是否幸福轻得太沉重 过度使用不痒不痛
Is happiness too light to bear, overused yet neither itchy nor painful?
烂熟透红 空洞了的瞳孔 终于掏空 终于有始无终
Overripe and crimson, my hollow pupils finally emptied, with no beginning or end.
得不到的永远在骚动 被偏爱的都有恃无恐
What cannot be obtained is always stirring, while the favored act without fear.
玫瑰的红 容易受伤的梦 握在手中 却流失于指缝 又落空
The red of roses, a dream easily bruised, held in my hand yet slipping through my fingers, falling empty.
红是朱砂痣烙印心口 红是蚊子血般平庸
Red is the imprint of a cinnabar mark on my heart, red is as mundane as mosquito blood.
时间美化那仅有的悸动 也磨平激动
Time beautifies that fleeting heartbeat, yet also wears down the excitement.
从背后抱你的时候 期待的却是他的面容
When I hold you from behind, I'm actually hoping for his face
说来实在嘲讽 我不太懂 偏渴望你懂
It's truly ironic to say, I don't really understand but still wish you would
是否幸福轻得太沉重 过度使用不痒不痛
Is happiness too light to feel heavy, overused yet numb, without pain?
烂熟透红 空洞了的瞳孔 终于掏空 终于有始无终
Deeply soaked in red, hollowed-out pupils, finally emptied, finally beginning without end
得不到的永远在骚动 被偏爱的都有恃无恐
What I can't obtain is forever stirring, those who are favored hold no fear
玫瑰的红 容易受伤的梦 握在手中 却流失于指缝 又落空
The red of roses, a dream that's easy to wound, held in my hands but slips through my fingers, leaving emptiness
是否说爱都太过沉重 过度使用不痒不痛
Is saying love too burdensome, overused yet numb, without pain?
烧得火红 蛇行缠绕心中 终于冷冻 终于有始无终
Burning bright red, coiling and twisting in my heart, finally frozen, finally beginning without end
得不到的永远在骚动 被偏爱的都有恃无恐
What I can't obtain is forever stirring, those who are favored hold no fear
玫瑰的红 容易受伤的梦 握在手中 却流失于指缝
The red of roses, a dream that's easy to wound, held in my hands but slips through my fingers
得不到的永远在骚动 被偏爱的都有恃无恐
What can't be had is forever restless, while the favored hold no fear.
玫瑰的红 伤口绽放的梦 握在手中 却流失于指缝 再落空
The red of roses, dreams blooming from wounds, held in hand yet slipping through fingers, falling empty once more.
