酷
Cool
抱歉现在不流行感人肺腑
Sorry, heartfelt emotions aren’t the trend right now
只求刀枪不入
Just seeking an impenetrable shield
注意追求的是对象的宽度
Pay attention to the width of what you pursue
别执着关系的长度
Don’t obsess over the length of relationships
空虚有太多温馨外快帮补
There are too many cozy distractions to fill the void
善忘的人都不愁销路
Those who easily forget never worry about sales
当心说什么人非草木
Be careful what you say, not everyone is just grass or wood
就注定孤独
It's destined for solitude
一情深就庸俗一怀念就落伍
Deep feelings become trivial, reminiscing feels outdated
酷酷的快活容不下多余的感触
Cool and carefree, leaving no room for excess feelings,
一认真就会输于是乎不在乎
Once I get serious, I lose, so I just don't care.
酷酷的幸福属于热情冷血动物
Cool happiness belongs to the passionate, cold-blooded creatures.
酷冷酷的酷酷不讲心情讲态度
Chill and aloof, we speak of attitude, not of emotions.
哭哭什么哭连行尸走肉都不如
Why cry? Even the walking dead have more life.
酷装酷的酷装才能装得下满足
Only with a cool facade can I fit in my satisfaction.
不回什么顾还要不要新的客户
Why look back? Should I even bother with new clients?
抱歉现在不欢迎执迷不悟
Sorry, we don't welcome the stubbornly obsessed right now.
只落得被挖苦
Only to end up being ridiculed.
注意要比的是放下的速度
Remember, what matters is the speed at which you let go.
不曾天真就要成熟
If you haven't been naive, you must grow up
分开是场悦目的行为艺术
Parting is a pleasing act of art
是割断神经线的手术
It's like a surgery that cuts the nerve lines
当心用脑袋就别用心
Be careful, use your head, not your heart
就没有包袱
Then there are no burdens to bear
一情深就庸俗一怀念就落伍
Deep feelings make you commonplace, reminiscing feels outdated
酷酷的快活容不下多余的感触
Being cool and carefree can't tolerate excessive emotions
一认真就会输于是乎不在乎
Being serious leads to loss, so just don't care
酷酷的幸福属于热情冷血动物
Cool happiness belongs to the passionate, cold-blooded creatures
酷残酷的酷酷新人都像一见如故
Cool, brutal, and trendy newcomers feel like meeting an old friend
哭哭什么哭知情识趣就别真情流露
Why cry? If you understand, then keep your true feelings concealed.
酷装酷的酷装装到自己都搞胡涂
Dressing cool, acting cool, until I'm confused about who I really am.
不领什么悟最高的本领就是没感悟
What’s the point of enlightenment? The greatest skill is to stay blissfully unaware.
