这城市跟贪婪之间零时差
This city has no time difference with greed.
到处伫立冰冷金属的大厦
Everywhere stand the cold, metallic towers.
爱这个字变超现实的比划
The word 'love' becomes an unreal gesture.
它是少数人才有的密码
It's a code possessed by the few.
地平线的座标 很数学的线条
The coordinates of the horizon, such mathematical lines.
关于我的大脑在抽象思考
About my brain in abstract contemplation.
宇宙间的频道 发出什么讯号?
What signals does the universe's channel send?
是否重要? 到底谁知道?
Does it matter? Who really knows?
远离人潮我在祈祷
Away from the crowds, I am praying.
练习微笑的礼貌
Practicing the courtesy of a smile.
夜色笼罩的隧道看不到炫耀
In the tunnel shrouded by night, there's no room for boastfulness.
(What the? What's going on?)
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train,
我跟未来在亲热
I'm getting intimate with the future.
前方难以预测
What's ahead is hard to predict,
跟第一时间在拉扯
Pulling at the first moment.
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train,
如教徒般的狂热
With a fervor like a devout believer.
我对希望执著
I cling to hope passionately.
虔诚的很快乐
Devoutly, I find my happiness.
Ah yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh
这个区域是非人类的住家
This area is a dwelling for non-humans
街道银幕上的画面在说话
The images on the street screen are speaking
电脑与人性相处的很尴尬
Computers awkwardly interact with humanity
从上世纪就开始在摩擦
It's been rubbing together since the last century
再多的按键也无法改变
No matter how many buttons, it won't change
气候的晶片四季鲜艳
The climate's chips are vividly seasonal
寒冷的温度已搁浅再上岸的
The cold temperature has grounded ashore again
就是春天不用实验
It's simply spring, no experiments needed
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train
我跟未来在亲热
I'm getting intimate with the future
前方难以预测
Up ahead, it's hard to predict
跟第一时间在拉扯
Tugging at the first moment
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train
如教徒般的狂热
With a fervor like a devotee
我对希望执著
I'm devoted to hope
虔诚的
Devoutly
远离人潮我在祈祷
Away from the crowds, I am praying
练习微笑的礼貌
Practicing the courtesy of a smile
夜色笼罩的隧道看不到炫耀
In the tunnel shrouded by night, nothing to boast about.
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train.
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train.
我跟未来在亲热 (ooh-ooh)
I'm getting close with the future (ooh-ooh).
前方难以预测 (我跟未来在亲热 前方难以预测)
What lies ahead is hard to predict (I'm getting close with the future, what lies ahead is hard to predict).
跟第一时间在拉扯
Tugging at the very first moment.
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train.
如教徒般的狂热
With a fervor like a devotee.
我对希望执著
I'm devoted to hope.
虔诚的很快乐
Faithful and joyful.
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train
我跟未来在亲热
I’m getting close to the future
前方难以预测
The path ahead is hard to foresee
跟第一时间在拉扯
Caught in the pull of the first moment
乘坐子弹列车
Riding the bullet train
如教徒般的狂热
With a zeal like that of the devoted
我对希望执著
I hold on tight to hope
虔诚的很快乐
Faithfully, I am so happy
