看你看我 原地在走著
Watching you watching me, walking in place
眼睛都睁著 而脑袋都睡著
Eyes wide open, but my mind's asleep
每张脸都 没多大区别
Every face here shows little difference
为什么这世界 变得太机械
Why has this world become so mechanical?
太多目光 曾把人刺伤
Too many gazes have pierced the heart
让人心中的窗 打开以前就关上
Before the window to the heart opens, it closes
慢慢习惯 化一样的妆
Slowly getting used to wearing the same makeup
学坚一样的强 泪流以前就擦干
Learning to be strong just like everyone else, wiping tears before they dry
从小到大 听著同一个童话
From childhood to now, listening to the same fairytale
跟著大家 渴望开一样的花
Following the crowd, yearning to bloom the same flowers
活得像一匹被 勒住的马
Living like a horse that's been led in tight restraints,
心里多狂热也 只能听话
No matter how fervent my heart, I must obey,
为何独特 会让人如此害怕
Why does being unique make others so afraid?
为何长大 必须同一个步伐
Why must we grow up in the same old way?
可是我相信著 世界之大
But I believe in a world so vast and free,
我只想寻找那 属于我的
I just want to find what belongs to me,
还未写的 另一个童话
Another fairy tale that’s yet to be told,
还未变天鹅 的另一只小鸭
A little duck still waiting to turn into gold,
只不过在 等一个未来
Just waiting for a future to finally arrive,
等世界能欣赏 乌鸦的漂亮
Waiting for the world to see the beauty of the crow thrive.
再多目光 再把人刺伤
More gazes, more people wounded,
别让自己遗忘 当时天真的模样
Don't let yourself forget, that innocent self from back then.
抹掉身上 有毒的土壤
Wipe away the toxic soil from your skin,
别让陌生的妆 掩盖你我的光芒
Don't let the unfamiliar makeup hide our shine.
从小到大 听著同一个童话
From childhood to now, listening to the same fairy tale,
跟著大家 渴望开一样的花
Following everyone, longing to bloom the same flower.
活得像一匹被 勒住的马
Living like a horse choked by a rein,
心里多狂热也 只能听话
No matter how passionate the heart, I can only obey.
为何独特 会让人如此害怕
Why does being unique scare people so much?
为何长大 必须同一个步伐
Why must growing up follow the same rhythm?
可是我相信著 世界之大
But I believe in the vastness of the world
我只想寻找那 属于我的
I just want to find what truly belongs to me
另一个童话 另一个童话
Another fairytale, another fairytale
释放我心里那 自由的马
Release the free horse within my heart
我只想追逐那 属于我的
I just want to chase what belongs to me
另一个童话 不一样的童话
Another fairytale, a different fairytale
让我们相信著 世界之大
Let us believe in the vastness of the world
用我们的独特 勇敢写下
With our uniqueness, bravely write down
另一个童话
Another fairytale
