跟天上的风说嗨
Say hi to the winds in the sky,
跟心上的债掰掰
Wave goodbye to the debts on my heart.
希望是一只妖怪
Hope is a kind of monster,
失望是它的双胞胎
Disappointment is its twin.
看无声的云苍白
Watching the silent clouds turn pale,
那墓碑上的花老的真快
The flowers on that tombstone age so fast.
忽然心情垮下来
Suddenly, my mood crumbles down,
于是我在雷雨中跪拜
So I kneel in the thunderstorm,
在伤心之外 我明白爱并不存在
Beyond the sadness, I understand love doesn't exist,
在真心之外 我应该抓不住真爱
Beyond sincere feelings, I doubt I'll ever grasp true love.
这诡异的爱 爱 爱
This bizarre love, love, love
太多预言会修改 太多结局不能猜
Too many prophecies will change, too many endings can't be guessed
太无奈
So helpless
说现实它是无赖
They say reality is a scoundrel
那是你并不懂它的病态
That's something you don't understand, its sickness
也许尝一点孤单
Maybe taste a little loneliness
之后你才懂它多坏
Only then will you understand how bad it is
在想念之外 我明白爱是一场灾
Beyond longing, I realize love is a disaster
在怀念之外 我应该忘记一些爱
Beyond nostalgia, I should forget some love
跟命运说快 快 快
Tell fate to hurry, hurry, hurry
别再问我未来 我的地图没买
Don't ask me about the future, my map hasn't been bought
我会往漆黑里栽
I'll plunge into the darkness
(在伤心之外 我明白爱并不存在) eh, yeah, whoa
(Beyond the heartbreak, I know love doesn’t truly exist) eh, yeah, whoa
(在真心之外 我应该抓不住真爱)
(Beyond the sincere heart, I shouldn't be able to grasp true love)
在昨天之外 我明白爱不会回来
Beyond yesterday, I understand love won't return
在今天之外 我应该永远不能爱
Beyond today, I should never be able to love
但明天的怪 怪 怪
But tomorrow will be strange, strange, strange
太多黯然的心态 太多灰色和黑白
Too many heavy hearts, too much gray and black and white
我不该迷信未来 想在绝望中等待
I shouldn't be superstitious about the future, longing in despair
风之外 oh-oh
Beyond the wind, oh-oh
没人来
No one comes
