你听过的传说 是我 也都不是我
The legends you've heard, are me, yet not me at all.
别问我为什么 过著这样的生活
Don't ask me why, I live this kind of life.
如果你想要懂 在我身后驮著的梦
If you want to understand, the dreams I carry behind me.
太多寂寞无法诉说
Too much loneliness, cannot be expressed.
你眼里头的我 练就了一身冷漠
The me in your eyes, has forged a facade of indifference.
你看不见的我 手心紧握著脉搏
The me you cannot see, tightly holds the pulse in my palms.
如果你想要懂 为何成为现在的我
If you want to understand, why I've become who I am now.
太多故事无法诉说
Too many stories, cannot be told.
看春夏秋冬 度过
Witnessing the spring, summer, autumn, and winter, passing by.
看日月山水 起落
Observing the sun, moon, mountains, and waters, rising and falling.
喔 我抓紧了我的躯壳 拿出了我的灵魂
Oh, I hold tight to my shell, I bring forth my soul.
忽视了我的体温 遗忘了我的出身
Ignoring my body heat, I forget my origins.
一天一天 一夜一夜
Day by day, night by night,
一年一年 一岁一岁 这样活
Year by year, age by age, living this way.
世界这么大 我独自一个人走
The world is so vast, I walk alone.
我选择了什么 有我自己的理由
What have I chosen? I have my own reasons.
失去了什么 守护的值得不值得
What have I lost? Is what I guard worth it?
有些话我对自己说
Some words I say to myself.
今夜 有缘才能相聚
Tonight, it's fate that brings us together.
看过太多好坏 这一路走来
Having seen too much good and bad, this journey I've walked.
独舞 荒芜中无尽呐喊 啊
Dancing solo, endless cries in the barren land, ah
看见了我的冷漠
I see my indifference
在面具的背后 热情依然在汹涌
Behind the mask, passion still surges forth
若你想要懂 为何成为现在的我
If you want to understand why I am who I am now
太多故事无法诉说
Too many stories left untold
看春夏秋冬 度过
Watching spring, summer, autumn, winter pass by
看日月山水 起落 (c'mon guys)
Observing the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers rise and fall (c'mon guys)
我抓紧了我的躯壳 拿出了我的灵魂
I clutch my shell tightly, exposing my soul
忽视了我的体温也遗忘我的出身
Ignoring my body’s warmth, I’ve also forgotten my origins
一天一天 一夜一夜
Day by day, night by night
一年一年 一岁一岁 这样活
Year by year, age by age, this is how we live.
你听过的传说 是我 也都不是我
The legends you've heard are me, yet also not me.
别问我为什么 选择这样的生活
Don't ask me why I've chosen this way of life.
若你想要懂 在我身后驮著的梦
If you wish to understand, the dreams I carry behind me.
太多寂寞无法诉说
Too much loneliness can't be expressed.
太多寂寞怎么诉说
How can I convey this overwhelming loneliness?
太多寂寞也不必说
So much loneliness doesn't need to be spoken.
